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.

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.

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.

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.

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

The Cam hate is stupid dude.

:jc:

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.

      ESPN's All Quarter Century Team 2000-2025

      The era that you played in, and, more importantly, who you played with actually matters. Honestly, that's why these issues will be debated forever, as it's just difficult to say that this person or that person is better when you're discussing the passage of time. As for me, after Rice, Moss and maybe Megatron and T.O., there's probably a dozen or so guys that can be argued about to the cows come home. Personally, I'm not putting Fitz, Harrison, Johnson, Evans, or especially D-Hop, Jefferson, Chase or Hill definitely in front of Smitty (and Colston ain't even in the discussion). Context and all that stuff actually matters. Things like the triple crown matter.

      Some of those guys? Yeah honestly you can.  I would 100% take Steve Smith over Larry Fitzgerald, Harrison, even Mike Evans. He is 100% a better player than those guys in his prime. If you look at the numbers Smith is historically under targeted in comparison to his contemporaries. He was only targeted 150 times or more only once in his career. Fitzgerald for example was targeted well above that 9 different seasons. Had Smith played with Peyton, Brady, Greatest Show on Turf, or even with Warner in Arizona he would broken records. His 2008 season was ridiculous accumulating 1400 yards in 13 games on less than 80 receptions. All time he also lost a season due to injury in 04, barely played WR as a rookie. Got robbed of 1k season with Clausen. Thats easily another 1800yds minimum that should have been tacked on to his #s. The only guys I’d say for certain are better than Smith are Rice, Moss, TO, Megatron, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown.

      So where can I find out tailgating parking spots for the season?

      By toldozer · Posted

      I parked in this lot a few times. It would take over and hour to get out of that lot after games. Never again
