CSR: Casting aspersions: The overly critical evaluation of Cam Newton

Another really good read. I am assuming that since Cam is now a Panther it is appropriate to post positive articles about him :prrr:

Immediately following the draft I spoke with a beat writer covering an AFC team. I asked him what his opinion was of Cam Newton to try and get an opinion from outside our market, he said to me:

"James, let me put it this way. When Jimmy Clausen was drafted in 2010 he was passed on forty-seven times, when Brady Quinn was taken in 2007 twenty teams, many of whom needed quarterbacks didn't want him. If the Panthers passed on Cam Newton he wouldn't have made it out of the top five... that should tell you something"

My name is Cameron, and to know that our franchise QB's name is Cameron, that is enough for me. I'm satisfied, but I do think he's not black enough. I would at least like him 2 inches taller and with a 3.9 40 time. But other than that, I'm happy. And we all know KT is happy.

:sarcasm:

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By strato · Posted

      To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever…

      Whatever school you attended, I don't know and I don't care, but I would suggest demanding a refund.    Something was completely missed there.

      The draft capital since since 2023 has in no way been pretty even.  Especially when you zero in on day 1 and day 2 draft picks.  Draft capital has vastly gone toward the O over D.
