Too early? (plus some stats)

To buy a Newton jersey? Birthday is coming up next weekend and I feel like replacing my more than worn black Delhomme jersey. Torn between white and black. Is it worth getting the premier jersey or stick with the replica?

On a side note Newton's most impressive statistic last Sunday was against the blitz:

Blitzed 21 times (45.6% of plays) from 46 drop backs

12/17 (70.6%),

231 yards (13.6 y/a),

1 TD, 0 Ints

132.6 QB rating

4 Sacks

If he can continue to identify blitzes and get the ball out quickly to punish them, then teams are going to start to re-think how they approach him.

Haha, I live in the UK so we rarely get many jerseys to pick from if any at all. One thing that Newton has achieved is giving the Panthers some commercial interest. Currently we have the choice of Smith, Peppers, Kenny Moore, Clausen, Matt Moore, Chris Harris and Newton.

Not on any bandwagon and never will be. Even if Newton bombs from here on I still will be happy to wear his jersey.

Is it to early for me to buy a Christmas sweater? I know it's a few months away but I just love being to go in my closet in the morning and here those cute bells jingle when I wiggle the shirt.

Positive Stats:

3.61% more likely to talk to a senoir citizen when grocery shopping.

1.4% more likely to get away with hitting "Over 65" on Thursdays at HT for the senior discount

Negative Stats:

184% MORE Likely to have a bell fall off before December 25th.

WTF should I do??

I asked if getting the premier jersey is worth it over the replica. Having only ever had replica jerseys I have no idea.

Considering I am from the UK I have also never had the option of anything other than black Delhomme jersers, so thought it might be an idea to ask people who likely to have several types.

You tried really hard with your response to be funny and belittling, it failed.

Knowing that there are people like you who are only interested in chucking in your 'funny' comments, I also listed some statistics that most would not have been aware of from Newton. Please let me know if you didn't find it interesting how well against he blitz he did.

    • Too much to ask picking in the middle of the third round. Unless you are historically lucky. Hell you need luck in the 1st to get that.    The devaluation of the position is hard for me to understand when I look at the difference great MLBs have made to defenses over the years.  Defense needs a good QB too. MLB is the QB of the defense. 
    • Across the league.  5 straight years of decline. Deep pass attempts have fallen to just 7.7 per game in 2024, down from that 2019 peak. Air yards per attempt are at 7.7 yards this year—the lowest in over a decade. Overall passing yards per game have tanked too, from 496 in 2020’s early weeks to a  403 in 2024.    This trend is a result of defenses playing with two-high safety schemes designed to prevent deep passes, forcing offenses to seek yards after the catch on shorter throws.  Two-high safety calls are everywhere now—up from 44% of dropbacks in 2019 to 63% in 2024—forcing QBs to take shorter throws instead of risking picks on bombs. Add in more presnap disguises, faster pass rushes (QB pressure up to 30.1% of dropbacks), and lighter, quicker D-linemen, and it’s a nightmare for deep shots.    Offenses have adapted with emphasizing power run games to counter deep coverage and fast but leaner pass rushers.  Rushing attempts per game are up to 27.9 per game average with top teams significantly in the 30+ attempts.  QBs are emphasizing more short and intermediate throws so that the few deep passes they attempt have a higher completion percentage overall than in years past.    So to everyone who is frustrated with lack of deep passing, it’s all cyclical and right now emphasis on the run and taking more calculated shots is the way to go.
