Cam Newton to Start Friday

[Tarheels23]

If you want to cut someone for the interception, cut DLo and Gross.

Gross got bullrushed straight into Clausen and DLo never turned around for the hot read.

Interception was 40% Gross, 40% DLo, and 20% Clausen.

If you go back and look at that play in slow motion, you'll find that Gross wasn't the cause of that play breaking down. Not that Clausen ever steps up in the pocket, but on that particular play Clausen couldn't step up, because Kalil slipped on the turf, causing a chain reaction, that cause that play to break down.

oh of course they WANT Newton to win it, but they are being fair to Clausen and giving him a chance, it is a competition though and it will depend on how Newton and Clausen play this week vs. Miami.

I have said it before....I don't know if it is so much about being fair to Clausen but simply making Cam go through the process of winning it. Cam is there guy....and that doesn't it a true competition.

The elephant in the room is this: will Cam's first INT get this much attention?

TRD is eagerly waitinig by for Cam's first interception so that he can claim how much he thinks Cam sucks.

Yes, because Vontae Davis will step infront of it, pick it off, then get knocked out by Cam, and everyone will be like "Dammmmmmmmmnnnnnnnn"

if it is a pick 6 on a checkdown.....yeah.

If you want to cut someone for the interception, cut DLo and Gross.

Gross got bullrushed straight into Clausen and DLo never turned around for the hot read.

Interception was 40% Gross, 40% DLo, and 20% Clausen.

So if DLo had turned around to see the pass, he would've been able to run back the 5 yards to catch a pass thrown nowhere near him?

Doubt it...it'll be chalked up to a rookie mistake--nothing to see here and let's move on.

It was a bad play caused by several people. I am not letting JC off the hook, but DLo has to be looking back on that hot read....at least to knock it down.

Gross got plain blown up and damn near cost JC his life on that play.

Honestly, JC was under so much pressure that he should have just taken the sack.

If you want to cut someone for the interception, cut DLo and Gross.

Gross got bullrushed straight into Clausen and DLo never turned around for the hot load.

Interception was and 100% Clausen.

Fixed

Again no pocket presence by Pickles, yes Gross got blowed up, but that lob should never got thrown to Dwill, notice how Cam threw a couple balls away while he was in

[ncbobcat]

So if DLo had turned around to see the pass, he would've been able to run back the 5 yards to catch a pass thrown nowhere near him?

Five yards? It was behind D-Will, maybe out of reach had he tried to reach back without tripping, but definitely not five yards. C'mon now.

Doubt it...it'll be chalked up to a rookie mistake--nothing to see here and let's move on.

Don't forget Clasuen had his time last year.....

People glowed about his checkdowns, his throws out of bounds.....his nothingness in preseason. Claimed he was smart and savy.....and better than Moore.

Talk about spin....reality was he was scared in the pocket and scared to make throws downfield. We saw the reality of the spin in 13 games and 10 starts.

There was some incredibly unrealistic pressure on both QBs in that game. I'm not too worried, because I'm not sure how many people are going to be able to just dominate Gross like that during the season. Probably just a fluke with that Pierre Paul dude.

I'm surprised they didn't give up more sacks than they did, and that's a testament to both QBs' abilities to roll out and avoid pressure, or make the quick decision.

The right side of that line is going to have to get way better at protecting Cam during those bootlegs. There were guys hanging on him before he took 2 steps.
