Yas: Mixed reviews on Cam Newton's Debut

Recommended Posts

From Yas's NFC South blog:

SPARTANBURG, S.C. -- There were some spot-on frozen ropes and a few balls that sailed beyond receivers or tailed behind them. There was a botched handoff in which the ball ended up on the ground and there was the moment of brilliance we saw so much of in college when the quarterback tucked the ball and ran for roughly a 20-yard gain.

Yeah, I've learned to not even scroll down and read the comments... pure hate.

I've been saying it since we drafted the guy...He is better than Mike Vick when Vick entered the league. He has all the potential in the world if we can keep him afloat this year and let him learn from his mistakes (assuming he will be mature enough to do that and take the criticism).

1st day sounded good.

It's those "moments of brilliance" we've been missing around here lately... to have "moments of brilliance" in your first padded practice as a rookie QB means you are ahead of the curve, this is encouraging news.

TBH I sure everyone is going to be rusty the first real practice back. He needs to stumble early so he can learn from his mistakes and understand what it takes to be a NFL QB. He will progress because he is talented and smart.

    • It appears that he sees things differently than the QB and OC, so Cam's advice is spot on. It isn't about number of targets, it's about quality of targets. Trust and being on the same page. BY doesn't know how to anticipate what XL is doing. And XL doesn't like where BY is placing passes. One on one film study would go a long way. More for BY than XL though. He has to adjust to XL. I really don't think XL can adjust on the fly. 
    • If the team shows improvement, then he shouldn't be in danger of losing his job - even if the record doesn't reflect. This was a very young team (with a lot of new vet starters) that overperformed last season. Somebody's doing something right. Consistency is key with so much youth. And we're potentially looking at new starters at ILB and FS. Those are positions that take time to fully understand the defense. ILB calls the front 7. Safety calls the back 4. Injuries at WR and IOL killed the offense last season. Depth needs to be upgraded. Same with Edge. I think they would have won more games if Pat Jones doesn't go down early. Be smart with the roster and draft. Trade players for assets when it's time to pay them more than they're worth - yes, that includes BY if he doesn't make a pretty big jump. That's one of the many reasons Tillis is as important as anyone to the future of this team.
    • He had heart surgery a while back he looks Fraile I hope he is okay
