He won in JUCO. He won at Auburn. Winning is all he knows. He's got the swagger of a winner. And now... he's lost.

Even though he set a record today, he himself was his harshest critic, telling reporters that he has much work left to do. I don't think he'll go for 400+ against the Packers, but I do think what we saw today was true. He simply "has it". And now, he will work even harder to get better.

This loss will only push him to excel. The future sure seems bright in Carolina. It's just a shame the NFL is a win now league. This team has too many holes in it for him to be a winner on the next level this season.

I don't think we have "too many holes", we could easily make some corrections and compete. Team has only been together 6 weeks, still feeling things out, installing schemes, etc.

We have a few issues, but nothing that can't be fixed.

We need better DTs, and our secondary as is, is weak. You can't correct that. Our O-Line has also seemingly gone south. That, may be fixable.

I don't think Cam really knows how he's supposed to react to a loss. So what we saw out of him directly following the game: his facial expressions, depressing quotes, etc. were the rawest form of emotion you can get. He hasn't prepared himself to deal with losses and I don't think the man likes it at all. He didn't say "we are young and I'm glad we competed"; he wanted to talk about what HE could do better to make sure it doesn't become a regular occurrence. Now, the reality is we are gonna lose and lose a good bit probably. But as long as he keeps his same frame of mind and competes the way he did today, we are going to be just fine as a franchise.

I think 1 DT, a big vet, would do wonders.

CB's played well save for a few mistakes.

O-line is fine, they were determined to stop the run and pass blocking was solid for a unit that's been together for 4 days in a new offense.

It's game one in a new scheme with no offseason. This crap doesn't just come together over night.

It's funny how he didn't want to let the team down, when in fact the team let him down.

That's the thing. He actually said the O-Line played well tonight. You know darn well he knows thats bull poo but he puts it all on him, which is a good thing and a bad thing. He is accountable for this team, because this team is HIS, and I don't mean that in a bad way. The team believes in him and that should only improve their play over time.

I don't think you should bash your offensive line when you are just a rookie, plus basing any teammate in the media is bad. But he needs to tell them in the locker room "Hey guys you need to protect me" I don't think Newton wants to come across as being a douche.

I wasn't faulting him for it, I was applauding him for what he said.

I don't think he needs to tell them anything. They know he's the guy, they react to his leadership, & they should push themselves to be able to protect him better.

I know Gross sure as hell has bought into him & will fight for him.

Jordan Gross said the Cardinals were “blitzing like crazy.”

“Everybody believes in him,” Gross said. “We’re never looking around wondering who is going to make the play. I know our receivers believe in him as well. He’s our quarterback and he’s taken that by the reins and led the charge

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Please don't tell me you just averaged the QB ratings of all of Shough's starts to declare his QB rating as better 😂 I hope you don't actually believe that's how it works.  Otherwise please show your math on Shough's QB rating as a starter. Thanks for including Shough's 2.6 more Rushing YPG in this comparison, really doesn't feel at all like you're desperately grasping for as many straws as you can here. The truth is, it takes a statistical bottom-tier starting QB like Bryce Young to make Shough look simply OK by comparison.  And that bottom-tier starting QB still, by your own admission, puts up more points for his offense than Shough.  You're framing this as damning for Bryce, but in reality the fact that him and Bryce are so neck-and-neck is shining Shough in a very poor light. Yes Shough is a rookie and Young is a 3rd year starter, which is why I circle back to my position of Shough having a "pretty solid, encouraging rookie season" whereas you're fanboying over him.  Never mind that Shough is 2 years older than Bryce though.  Normally yes a QB's experience in the league is invaluable...but Bryce is kind of a unique situation considering the biggest complaint with him is he is too physically limited to succeed in the league.  Do we think a QB can overcome severe physical limitations simply with experience?  Also I remember wayyyy back (/s) when we cared so much about DJ Johnson being an older rookie and our standard for them being that they're more NFL-ready and able to contribute sooner rather than later.  But now all of a sudden Shough is just a poor little 26-year-old rookie on an awful team.  Seriously...the way you frame everything around Shough is straight out of a fanfic.  Constantly referencing with tears in your eyes how he's succeeding against all odds on such an awful team.  Meanwhile the Saints' D is 14th in PPG and their offense (led by Shough) is 29th in PPG.  Telling me how the Saints managed a win on Shough's shoulders against the Jets last week who put up...*checks notes*...6 points against the Saints' D.  Yes god bless the savior Shough who willed his team to victory against those juggernauts led by Brady Cook.  Never mind how Taysom Hill threw as many touchdowns in 1 passing attempt as Shough did in 49 passing attempts.  Yikes.

      Who's gonna drop the gloves? I can't think of a single player on this team that can fight. Period. Much less get the best of an opposing player. Please.

      as a starter, Shough is better this year in all the aspects I shared with you.  Facts. You disputed nothing I said because I’m talking starts and my numbers are right
