My observations of Cam Newton's game

Would better receviers make his throws more accurate?

At halftime, he's around 5-13 with 3 completions at the LOS (Olsen rollout, Barnidge checkdown, Goody screen) and two deep completions where both throws should have been bigger gains but he underthrew them pretty bad.

Out of his incompletions, LaFell one was good throw but better defense in endzone, LaFell 2 was bad throw low in teh endzone, missed Martin down the sideline but looked like a good throw just some handfighting, missed Olsen on a throw down the sideline that was a bad ball, missed barnidge in endzone getting hit, missed barnidge then armanti on back to back throws because he throws off his back foot way too much when there is no rush.

He also bounced one to Naanee over the middle

Second half starting

God damn receivers

God his play actions need work. Another completion/good throw at the LOS

3rd and 4....

Ball looked to be behind Clowney allowing the defender to rake down Clowney's arm to force the incompletion...also could be a drop...we'll call that one a wash

Shockingly, they don't show the replay

Shotgun, no drop again, holy poo his footwork is terrible, ball thrown so far behind goodson it's unreal...thank god for new NFL rules :lol:

Terrible play action...GREAT ball to armanti. Drop

Best pass I've seen him throw, hit his drop, planted, and fired the ball.

I want more of that

Lobbed screen to Goody, nearly got him killed but Goody escapes and gets good yaradage.

shotgun, bad snap, three step drop from the gun, good drop, bounces the ball on the out route

sheesh

I don't see how people are crediting him with 5 drops...I've seen one so far to Armanti and possibly another one with Clowney.

Most completions right around the LOS and the two big ones down the field, both not great throws that took points off the board

How much honest attention do you expect anyone to pay to someone whose posts are filled with manlove for our ex QB and Dolphins images anyway? A Panthers fan posts these thoughts and I'll happily debate / analyze them. A groupie posts then and I'd prefer to give you a pack of Trojans so you can be safe when you make it backstage.

I haven't made a post about Moore in the Panthers forum since he left...please try again.

I'm still waiting for someone to refute my analysis, did he not bounce it to Naanee? Did he not throw off his back foot and miss Barnidge on an out and Armanti on the post on back to back throws?

Dude, you've got another team's player as your avatar and your sig, you can't expect to be treated as an unbiased voice of reason. Anyway, I think it was obvious there was a safety over the top on both long completions, although the second was underthrown somewhat. I thought at least 3 of his passes should have been caught, a couple more could have been caught and weren't, and one should have been pass interference. Overall, 2 completions of at least 30 yards in the air, we had maybe 10 of those all of last season, so good reason to be excited.

TRD is right guys, Cam sucks. He'll never live up to the legend of Matt Moore. Guess we should just give up on this season and spend the fall watching YouTube highlights of the last 3 games from 09.

Real deal is just being his namesake.

Cam is a rookie - and one who always offerred more athletisism/upside in exchange for shaky mechanics and thin experience.

I think I agree with most in that there is a ton of upside there, but let's face it 99/100 people here are cutting him breaks.

From Sorenson today:

"Newton played seven series and, like Clausen, he was sacked twice. When Clausen is sacked, fans blame him. When Newton is sacked, fans blame the offensive line, the play call, the officials or the Giants cheated."

      Some Tet appreciation

      He has a lot to work on for sure but he has been a huge boost to the offense. It's nice to finally have an elite WR.

      Where do you fall on the Bryce Young spectrum?

      By strato · Posted

      We have been on that roller coaster ride already. He needs to have streaks far longer than a couple of good games.  People raved about the Green Bay game in 2023. Which was mostly a good 2nd half and hot 4th quarter.  Ask me what happened the next four games, if you don’t remember. or just go look them up. There isn’t much to see.  The end of last year had some good things and one excellent outing, and look up what followed that, which you won’t have to but he came out this year looking like week 1 2023.  Now he is on a game and a half streak, against a bad Miami team and lowest rated defense in the league - at home.  This is the reality in the big picture. He needs to break his pattern, in a positive way.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By fieryprophet · Posted

      This "noodle arm" characterization just baffles me. There's way more involved in a successful downfield passing attack than simple air yards. Let's take two stat-lines for throws of 40+ air yards (no YAC) from the last 3 seasons: 5/29 (17%) for 3 TDs and 2 INTs 1/9 (11%) for 1 TD So with three times the number of attempts, you net +6% completion percentage, the same TD rate, and 2 arm punt INTs to boot. The first player is Mahomes, the second is Bryce. Clearly Bryce attempts these throws at a much lower rate, but his success rate is quite similar to one of the most talented downfield throwers of all time. The takeaway isn't that Bryce is Mahomes-lite (if he was his usage rate for these would be much higher) but that these throws by their very nature are extremely difficult, very scheme-specific, and even an elite thrower can have wildly differing success rates season by season. And before we get into the complaints of cherry-picking, this is far more substantial information than the various insinuations that Bryce struggles to even get the ball 20 yards downfield, much less 40+. And the wildest part of this is that every time Mahomes threw a bomb over the last 3 season, 83% of the time the end result was failure, yet many Chiefs fans complain that he isn't taking even more shots downfield.
