Winners and losers from tonight

I would imagine he was told not to scramble and to focus solely on passing the ball.

Those two throws to LaFell in the endzone looked like pretty darn good coverage by the DB to me. It's hard to call them drops when somebody else's hands got to the ball.

Couldn't agree more, I think everyone (Cam, LaFell and the DB in coverage)was doing their jobs on those two plays and the defense was just very good. I guess people wanted to see Cam's first TD pass and when it didn't happen, their disappointment directed itself at the guy who didn't catch the ball.

Sort of the same thing with the Edwards "drop", the DBs hands were all up in that, though a stronger, more experienced receiver probably could have tucked it more decisively and held on.

Have to remember. Cam Newton is on 10 days practice in his whole NFL career. For 10 days practice, he was GREAT tonight. I would like to see him look to scramble more.

I wouldn't say great, but definitely encouraging.

I would imagine he was told not to scramble and to focus solely on passing the ball.

I'm pretty sure that was the mandate as well.

I thought Cam was pretty good, he's going to wreak some havoc with those rollouts and screens. His accuracy is shaky mid-deep range but overall this was an encouraging first appearance. He definately doesn't carry himself like a rookie out there, if anything (as someone earlier said) he looks almost too confident.

You seem to be the biggest loser tonight. These coaches will have these boys ready on gamedays...

Hope you're ready to make that video for me... time will tell

how the fug am i the biggest loser? teams dont gameplan for their first preseason game

[jamos14]

Yes, teams don't gameplan, but the Giants sent a lot of blitzes towards Newton early on. Not necessarily vanilla.

Fun...Fun won tonight I haven't seen players happy and fun during a game (preseason or not) in a long time.

dog how is jimmy a winner? he sucked. Cam looked incredible for his first game :o

since when is 8-19 135 yards incredible? If that was jimmys stats he would be getting butchered

[Icege]

Haven't gotten to watch the game in its entirety, but from what I did see:

Winners: defense (Fua, Anderson, senn spec stuck out from what I saw), Armanti, special teams, Clausen, Cam, Olsen

Losers: Trash fans that act like Jimmy was the reason their father left them at a young age, when it was really because daddy could only handle so much full retard before deciding that rinsing his mouth out with a shotgun was less painful than listening to his idiot child boo at pickle jars and cheer on bags of fig newtons

[Lumps]

LB Williams was nasty everyone else played as expected for me. AE proves his worth was nice.

Fun...Fun won tonight I haven't seen players happy and fun during a game (preseason or not) in a long time.

Amen. For a long time, Panther games were either painful or boring. It's amazing what happens when your team actually does something :/

[YoungPanthers89]

the giants must really hate us lol

[Wither]

since when is 8-19 135 yards incredible? If that was jimmys stats he would be getting butchered

Jimmy would catch hell if he was 8-8 for 213 yards tonight.

[Mr ocho nueve]

Winners: Cam, Jimmy, Olsen, Edwards, LaFell, Pilares, Fua, Ziemba, Pugh, McClain.

Losers: Our run game (I only say that because we really weren't dominating like we should have been), Naane, Giants Kicker Tynes.
