Running Plays for Newton

Newton will be joining a team in the Carolina Panthers that had six different people attempt passes in 2010, and none of them did it particularly well. The Panthers finished last or near last in most relevant passing categories, which is why Newton was their top pick just one year after they selected quarterback Jimmy Clausen(notes) in the second round. Clausen’s three-touchdown, nine-interception season was one of the reasons Newton will be replacing him, but one of the few plays in which wide receiver Armanti Edwards(notes) – a quarterback in college – found the field could indicate how Newton might be used in certain types of plays.

Obviously the author made mistakes and used pretty flatline reasoning, but what about the premise that Newton will have a package heavily focused on option passing and running. Do you agree or disagree? I don't think we will put him in running situations often. If he runs, it will be because the play broke down or the defense left a big hole to run through. I could definitely see roll-outs and motion.

Thoughts?

This is exactly how Cam should be introduced as a rookie. Why put everything on him shoulders? Why not simplify the playbook a little, and add in some plays that he can try to execute using his legs?

This is the perfect way to get him adjusted. Start small, and build up as he gains experience. Cam is going to have to make some plays with his feet. I foresee a lot of bootlegs, plays set up where Cam can bootleg to the right and choose between trying to scramble for some yards or passing to a receiver.

I do want him to take snaps under center though, and get adjusted to that and making believable play action plays. Play action is where Cam can really get some good yards, because the defense will have to think of three key things: either DWill is going to break a run, Cam is going to break a run, or Cam is going to throw the ball down field. It is just an added dimension that the opposing defense will have to take into account.

Yes.....yes....

I just think he is an idiot because he is using last years offense in his reasoning. Rivera has said this is how they will use him and I agree with that. But for the author to use Armanti Edwards two attempts in a lame mountaineer package last year as the premise to his theory is idiotic.

      Boy the flyers look good early. Lots of bad plays and slow start by our team. Hope that changes before the score changes.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      I guess I should have stipulated outside the sacred cow.   I complained from year one that Bryce should compete for and win the starting job on his own merit but no he was just handed it. I have been right there with everyone that wants competition.  But I don’t really have a huge problem with it for this season the way it has gone because where are the viable people we don’t have to trade for? I actually am okay with tiny hands Pickett because he is so close to Bryce arm strength wise and to be honest, skill wise. Probably. And it is only a one year deal.  That also takes into account that the QB class is looking stacked next year and if Young fails miserably then we get either a reset or a real competition and there will be more guys that I would like looking at in the FA QB class next year as well.    I sort of accept where we are this year and look at it as another treading water year (at QB). I just want to get to next year with some clarity. More than anything. And they did empty out the room (behind him anyway). Again, who was really there for us?  And I know it would not be a true competition at this point anyway. They are giving him the year, like it or not.    Also I don’t give a poo about winning games IF he sucks and or goes down after sucking because draft position and that stacked QB class.  And I want out from under him So Bad.     So I guess it is several factors that lessen my anxiety over his backup this particular season.    I am not trying to convince anyone, but you asked. That’s how I look at it.
