All of Cam Newtons plays at FanFest (video)

Did anyone else laugh at the guy in the stands, in both videos, who got mad and yelled, "THROW IT!!". Mad, during a practice... at Fan Fest. LOL.

The fact that so many people think Clausen looks better than Newton says a lot about both.

I don't see what many are seeing, I thought Cam looked WAY better than Jimmy. I'd say about 2% chance Jimmy starts the season.

Both those guys look good and bad in different areas. One just looks like he's more confident in moving the ball down the field. Guess which one?

the one who isn't getting booed during practices?

I don't think so.....

if people think Clausen looked better than Newton it means there are people that need to look into some drug rehab.

Sadly, in a world where our so called "sports gurus" now dictate what defines a true QBbased on shallow perception, second guessing and favoritism, lost is the reality that one important factor in being a true QB..You MUST lead with confidence.

One thing that stood out to me while watching the Superbowl this year was how Aaron LED his team as a QB. I remembered one play in particular where he threaded a long ball to one of his recievers that was clearly catchable and the guy dropped it. When the game was winding down and still close in score, Aaron threw another threader to the same receiver, a littler further out, with more velocity and square in his chest; as if to say, "this time you will hold onto the ball...lol

The funny thing was Aaron had other receivers that were wide open that he could have thrown the ball too but choose to go back to the same receiver who dropped what was a perfect ball not to long ago.

IMO, it not only showed confidence in Aaron to repeat the exact same play and get a touchdown but it also showed how much confidence he had in his teammates.

Just what I feared! Clausen has zero arm strength. If you look closely, everytime he throws the ball down field, he has to turn his head away from his receiver just to gain the strength to get it to him. Three problems with this. One, because he turns his head with the ball still in his hand, it leaves a second where he doesn't completely see the throw. How long does it take for an uncovered receiver to become covered? The same amount of time it takes for Clausen to turn his head. The chances of his deep passes getting picked off increases drastically if he is throwing in any kind of coverage. Two, ultimately his accuracy will be off. You can't completely judge where your receiver will be if you can't see your passes through. Finally three, he does this motion to increase the power of his throws. Even when he does this, the ball still floats for a while. They don't have the zing that you see with Newton's throws.

Bottom line, your week one starters will either be Newton or Mr. Anderson.

How does it feel to have to hold your nose and act like Cam looks really good in those vids just to assert that Clausen looks bad?

Not afraid to say it, I really like what I see in cam especially considering he has had a couple weeks or so of camp.

At this point you aren't expecting too much:

1) good decisions

2) quick release

3) accuracy

4) not afraid to step into pressure to make a throw

5) ability to extend a play

I thought I saw all those things with Cam. Clausen has big problems with 4 and 5

I love how fans went crazy after Newton found a TE in the flat, so exciting isnt it??

[Woodcookedbbq]

If Clausen could throw downfield, he would be the starter...no questions asked.

Thanks for the video. I didn't get to see much of fan fest so this was great to watch
