The reality of Cam's good night

[CRA]

with starting OL

Drive 1 - 62 yards 4 first downs (2 from Cam's throws)- stalled at 8 - per Rivera Cam looked to be forcing things - FG

backup OL

Drive 2 - Goodson fumble on 2nd down

Drive 3 - 3 and out

Drive 4 - 54 yards 2 first downs (2 from Cam's throws) - stalled at 21- FG big miss to a wideopen AE - pressure or not you gotta hit that.

Drive 5 - 24 yards, 1 first down (1 from Cam's throw) - bad throw on 3rd down

Drive 6 -18 yards, 1 first down

Drive 7 - 3 and out

Cam faced a variety of starters vs. backups and same as with the caliber of Panthers he was on the field with...which should be noted.

worth noting, Jimmy had more 3 and outs despite Newton having more drives with offenses.

6 pts generated from the 7 drives. 7 were generated from Jimmy's 5.

Like Jimmy there were a variety of good and bad play from Cam mixed into all drives.

Cam was way more impressive simply because of his positive attitude.

Let's not forget that it's also game 1 of preseason football.

Defenses will be coming at them harder in a real game, so I don't think the coaching staffs are making their choice based on an exhibition game. They both made some good throws, and they made some bad throws/decisions.

And Greg Olsen made them both look good, lol. Go Greg.

Cam Newton SUCKS!!!

:rolleyes:

Ok, now... seriously...

I saw some good throws. I saw a couple beautiful throws.

I saw some crap throws too. He obviously needs to work on timing with his receivers.

I saw some stupid drops too. Maybe he's putting too much into the throws?

He played about as well as you can expect from a Rookie who's had only a few weeks to train with his team.

I'm actually glad of two things though...

1. There were no run plays. He hung in the pocket even when he was sacked.

2. You can tell he's been working on taking snaps from under center. His drop backs looked clean.

I can't wait until they actually cut him loose AND can't wait to see him and Smitty hook up.

This is one thing I am am confident we'll continue to see throughout the season. Even if it is written in purple italics for some reason.

That is the job of the receiver..Just ask Jake Locker...

Anyway, Rivera is right. Cam did look like he was forcing a couple after Lafell looked like he missed what should have been a catchable ball. Then Cam goes and puts to much zip on the ball to other receiver in the endzone.

Rivera should have settled Cam down then...He was clearly wound up. Which is expected.

[TheGreatestOfAllTimeCam]

Quit whining. I throw the ball better than Clausen does.

Exactly, he gets sacked and wakes up with a huge smile.

The fug. You think Jimmy has a bad attitude or something?

You probably think cam can turn water into wine as well huh?

[Hoenheim]

on the one drive he made it almost all the way to the endzone he was moving things really well. That was awesome.

Well hopefully he can turn piss into milk, because your wheaties are ruined otherwise.

The Cam hate is stupid dude.

:jc:

I think we're overanalyzing this too much.

Cam played decent. He was surprising to most of us. Some of us are hopeful for his future. He seems to have talent.

I mean, you can't really take much more from the few downs he has played in one game.

Wow... some common sense on the Huddle.

Prepare to be set on fire.

Wow, you're totally mistaking me for a cam hater. I criticize the guy, I don't hate him

The cam love is a little over bearing and ridiculous to be honest. It's getting sickening. It's like everyone is riding on his jock strap. It's getting annoying.
