I CRA do hereby pledge that Cam Newton has my full support as the Carolina Panthers starting quarterback......until he starts 10 games and played in 13 then i get to reconsider my stance. If he still has not thrown a NFL TD to a WR after 300+ NFL pass attempts......he likely will find himself in the company of other Panther QBs.

If only the #1 pick in the draft had the luxary of being judged to Clausen. (And of course if memory serves me Clausen was being judged much sooner than 10 starts.)

His logical comparison will be to Bradford, last year's #1 pick, QB, Heisman trophy winner, and national champion. Sound familiar...

Anyone acting like Cam is 'project' and not comparable to last year's #1 pick needs to talk to the Panthers front office and not to Cam. He won't get any such breaks from an unsympathetic national viewing public.

Bradford would be a poor comparison. Bradford dink and dunked and wasn't asked to make that many big throws downfield. Cam will be asked to throw less, run more, and make more throws downfield.

Cam is unique.....so his passing numbers could be worse than QB X but his effectiveness on the ground w/ counter some of the lacking passing production. So you can judge him based on the eye ball test in comparison to Bradford in terms of what he does for the team.....but not by the stat sheet.

also, Bradford wasn't robbed of most of his prep time. But late in the year, there are some fair ways to compare Cam to a guy like Bradford late (just not stat for stat). Bradford could have a much better comp % and Cam could simply be much better.

So even if he is worse, he's actually better. Nice

You forgot to factor in completion % alone means nothing. If I can complete 100% of my passes but all for zero yards but someone else completes 5% of their passes for one yard then that person is a much better QB.

I _________________ do hereby pledge that Cam Newton has my full support as the Carolina Panthers starting quarterback. The fact that I did/didn't (circle one) has no bearing on my decision to live in reality and realize Cam is the biggest hope for a franchise QB that we have ever had.

In addition, I realize Cam will at times struggle, and promise not to throw him under the bus at any given opportunity. I understand that Cam is here under a multi year plan, and not a 6 week plan.

By accepting this pledge, your Matt Moore pledge started by some knuckle head last season is null and void.

No. Sorry I don't believe in the kid, I don't trust Hurney's ability to judge talent in the draft. I feel they reached for Newton. The kid is doing nothing to alleviate any concerns on his ability to play QUARTERBACK in the NFL so far.

I am not going to boo the kid or root against him, but no pledge from me.

      If they lose the last three......

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      I’ve rarely ever been more sure of anything than losing out — but how can anyone say with a straight face “Bryce hasn’t improved, but Canales has and he’s masks his flaws”. You have to be so out of touch with reality to put one way above the other when discussing those two.

      Last night was the classic example of a visiting team just holding on through the wave of emotion a home team has at the start of a big time game. Bama’s first two kickoff returns really set them back as far as playcalling and allowed OU to dictate field position. The emotion of the home crowd fed into what OU was doing at that point, and it felt like Bama would not be able to overcome that.     Once the kickoff returner was told to fair catch every kick, the game shifted, as Bama wasn’t starting each drive inside their own 15. It was then that Bama was able to make some plays, outscoring OU 34-7 the rest of the way.  I think the last 3/4 of the game proves Bama was the better team. OU was just able to ride the initial wave of emotion to a big lead, but Bama held on just enough.  However, had OU blocked the punt on Bama’s second drive and scored a TD (vice a FG on the ensuing drive), things likely would have been different.  Anyway, Roll Tide!

      Inappropriate relationship with a team staffer, followed up with some stalking behavior, and ultimately a felony home invasion charge from a visit at her apartment that culminated in him threatening her life and his as well.
