Some constructive criticism on Cam Newton's performance. Please don't shoot.

Let me ask you a question. With a rookie QB playing his first game. Do you want him to run the play that is called, or do you want him to freelance?

Please give me a break with this "I want him to be more aware" poo. Let him learn first. Then he can start making it up as he goes along.

Sheesh.

You know I was reading your other post and were you not just talking about how much emotion you invest in your team and how bad you wanna win? I'm no different!

The answer is: I want him to make the play, designed or not, rookie or not, that gets us the win! Had we come away with a W, I'd have given him a break. Since we did not, I think there's nothing wrong with talking about what he needs to improve on to get us there next time...like Sunday.

What was wrong with that question? Bad premise too?

Um yeah, its the same question.

Are you even reading my posts?

Your question isn't objective because you know that I don't agree with your premise that Naanee is wide open.

Therefore asking me a question which forces me to accept a premise that is false isn't an objective question.

Again see: Why are you hardheaded?

^^Same type of question.

change your definitions of simple terms, such as for example what "you" consider an open receiver.

That's not my definition that's anyone football persons definition.

And its the point I've been making all along neither Naanee or Goodson are locks to gain the needed yardage both plays would require YAC/RAC to gain the needed yardage.

Cam threw to Goodson matched up with a LB over a WR matched up with a DB, big deal the RB failed to gain the needed yards. (With the help of Lenon borderline pass interference)

I don't know many coaches that would grade Cam down for his decision on that play.

And I'm not sure what you want to say by the fadestop,

Well first off I you should read my point instead of harping on about Aaron staring Jennings down, which has nothing to do with any I wrote about that pass.

Your so caught up in trying to agrue over something that we're not going to agree upon you're unable to discuss anything else with an open mind.

Do you see how based on the DB Steve Smith would have been open on a fadestop?

In your objective opinion, who do you believe is a better choice for a QB to pass to: a wide open receiver, with room to run and his defender 4 yards away, OR a running back with a LB in the process of tackling him who is 4 yards shy of a first down?

I'll play your game.

A wide open receiver is the better option, but on the play we're discussing there is no wide open receiver.

On the play in question Steve Smith 1-on-1 is the best option for my money (backshoulder fadestop TD!!), I would include some type of dash/sprint action to get Cam to the near side hash mark to make the throw easier.

Well then maybe you should give me "your" definition of wide open, because to me, in the National Football League, a wide receiver that's 4 yards out of reach from his defender, with a step up on him, and moving faster..... is considered wide open. And the reason you don't want to answer the other question is because that one is obvious too. No matter what happens post-catch....and this is something Cam wouldn't have worried about(at that point it's out of his hands and it's the receiver's job to make a play)....Naanee is still in the best position to continue to beat his man, versus Goodson whose guy is already wrapping him up as he's catching the ball.

I mean would it have changed your answer if I just said an open receiver with room to run and his defender 4 yards away, OR a running back with a LB in the process of tackling him who is 4 yards shy of a first down?
