George Whitfield On His Pupil, Cam

For those of you that don't know, George was Cam's personal QB coach before the draft...

Awesome tweets here with great perspective:

The 12-hour days of QB camp Cam Newton put in with @georgewhitfield for weeks and weeks this offseason paying off.

*I'm running all over the training field today teaching & I'm told that the Panthers battled the Packers tough & that Cam had another "day"..

*Then a 9 year old who arrived early for the next session comes down the track screaming "4-3-2!". Had no idea what meant. Then I heard...

*I'm so incredibly proud of my latest student like any teacher would be. It isn't the numbers, though AMAZING, it's his defiance & work ethic

*The Panthers lost today and are now 0-2. And I can already see that being the 'low hanging fruit' for all the detractors.

*The Colts were 3-13 in Peyton Manning's rookie year & Dallas was 1-15 with Troy Aikman. Great players get drafted to bad teams.

*The difference this last week was that detractors far & wide couldn't wait to discount Cam's debut. Beginner's luck. Cardinals D. Miracle.

*After a historical performance all I heard was "He'll come back to Earth" vs Pack D. "Gig is up". "He'll get a wake up call vs Capers"!

*Sportsnation said he was finally playing a "Varsity defense". Varsity? In a professional league, how are accomplishments discounted so much

*I know Cam is sick about being 0-2 and wants to help that team get a "W" each time out. But they are improving & competing each week!

*Cowboy fans were rewarded for hanging in there w Aikman & so were the Colts, obviously w Manning. Hang in there Panther Nation!

*For all those ppl that "safely" predicted Cam's (reality check) & (implosion) this wk vs the Super Bowl Champs... Thank you

*Going forward the true pressure is on the Detractors more than it is on #1 for the Panthers.

*Detractors will be up late & maybe w/o sleep working to redefine, discount, & knock Cam's play, again. "How do we spin it now?" #goodluck

*What will they say next? What will Cam Newton do next?

*C-Rex!

*Finally saw the highlights of Pack/ Panther game. This was Dr Aaron Rogers vs Cam Newton the Med student.

@georgewhitfield joe montana was 2-14 his rookie year and john elway was 4-12 I think. Even, steve young was on a 5-11 bucs team.

He put it well at the end.

The Packers are what we can become. Cam is learning while Rodgers is a certified baller already.

Yeah, I loved that quote "Doctor" and "Med Student," lol...

I've never been more excited going forward following losses (don't get me wrong, I'm pissed we let them both get away though, lol).

    • Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.
    • How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.
    • I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
