2 minutes ago - by Steve Reed - Newton getting Panthers' offense down

QB Cam Newton on his comfort level with the team's offense: “It’s one less thing I have to think about each practice as far going and getting my play, knowing what my reads are and when I’m hot and where I have to slide the lines to. So that’s a positive sign,” Newton said. Panthers RapidReports

5 minutes ago - by Steve Reed - Kalil: Teammates excited about Newton's coolness

C Ryan Kalil on Cam Newton's makeup: “I think a lot of guys, media and even teammates, were curious to see how he would handle a lot that has been given to him in a very short period of time and I think he’s done well with it. He’s taken it in stride. I think he has a calm, collective cool about him that I think is inspiring and guys get excited about." Panthers RapidReports

7 minutes ago - by Steve Reed - Newton's return to stadium of BCS title no big deal

Cam Newton will open his NFL career in the same stadium where he helped Auburn win a national championship earlier this year, but he brushed that off as irrelevant. "You can’t still linger with those collegiate things in your back pocket,” Newton said. “You might as well clean your pockets out, because nobody cares.” Panthers RapidReports

Awesome.

EDIT: Another one:

7 minutes ago - by Steve Reed - Newton not seeking to get on WR Smith's bad side

QB Cam Newton on WR Steve Smith always being open: “Yeah. One man on him, (it’s) ‘I’m open,’” Newton said of Smith. “Two men on him (it’s), ‘Just give me a chance.’ Three men on him it’s, ‘No matter what, throw it up and see what happens.’ Don’t ever tell Steve that he was covered or he’ll give you one of those looks. Also, you don’t want to get on his bad side.” Panthers RapidReports

:lol:

This one is hilarious... I'll add it to the OP. You can tell he already has some respect in the locker room and from Smitty if he's saying this to reporters, lol... Good stuff.

    • Just to clarify: I'm not arguing that height or footwork can’t affect QB play. I'm asking how those concerns translate into measurable, consistent outcomes. That’s the standard we should be applying to all QBs, not just Bryce. If height is such a limitation, then we'd expect to see elevated batted passes or poor pressure evasion. Yet none of that shows up in the data. Bryce was one of the lowest in the league for batted passes and his 16.9 pressure-to-sack ratio is good enough for 9th out of all QBs with 300+ dropbacks. So if you believe footwork tied to height is a meaningful issue, what metric shows that because two that would aren't doing so? This isn't about denying flaws. It's about applying fair, consistent standards because otherwise we’re not evaluating performance which means that it's not analysis taking place... it's just going off of the vibes that somebody has consciously decided on. Citing one red zone play you remember doesn't provide that consistent standard. I don't say that to dismiss your memory, but to emphasize that anecdotal evidence (especially from an avowed skeptic) shouldn’t carry more weight than consistent tape or analytics. For example, there was recently dissonance over Bryce's deep ball accuracy where it was implied that he was inaccurate throwing 20+ yards. Yet, the data and film show otherwise. And I unfortunately have to still ask since you won't directly answer: What specific metrics do you believe matter when evaluating whether a QB is top-10? You've mentioned YPA and passing yards per game, and that's fair. If that's what you're prioritizing, then let's call that your criteria but clarity matters because it prevents moving goalposts when the data doesn’t match one's expectations. I appreciate the response and hope that your holiday weekend goes well also. ❤️
    • Me too. I got other things I can do. Tie it up 2-2 and I will be back, but Im tired of watching us get swept.
