Football Outsiders: Newton, meet Woodson

Analysis of Cam's performance against GB from Football Outsiders:

Through their common experiences growing up in Georgia, Green Bay Packers safety Morgan Burnett has either seen Cam Newton play football, or played against him, at just about every possible level -– Pop Warner, high school, college, and now the NFL. Burnett didn’t see Newton during the quarterback’s season at Blinn Junior College, but if there’s one NFL defender who you’d think would have all the intel needed to solve Newton on the field, it would be the second-year safety out of Georgia Tech.

"You have to stay on your coverage a little bit longer than usual," Burnett said after the game. "You can see the athleticism he has in him, and he has a strong arm. He's a great quarterback."

Interesting on the first pick... I was wondering why Woodson was able to play underneath Smitty so well with the threat of Smitty breaking his route and turning upfield for a deep throw...

Until I read this and found out they had him double covered with help over the top so Woodson was freelancing underneath waiting for the throw. Wow... Couldn't see that on the broadcast.

Interesting bit on Morgan Burnett...kinda cool to see those connections in the league. I remember seeing a piece when Mike Tomlin was hired as coach of the Steelers that he played like junior college ball or something with a current NFL player...can't remember who it was but I remember they showed film.

Darren Sharper at William and Mary.

You couldn't see it at first, but once he threw it and the camera followed all you seen was green and yellow. It was a very bad choice. Cam is good at not making the same mistakes so that won't happen very often. Those other int's were bad throws like he said. I can't wait until he gets comfortable and used to the NFL.

Lol at you guys arguing about different broadcasts. The game was ONLY broadcasted by FOX.

Anyways, the second pick to Woodson was kind of dumb. He pulled a Tim Teebow style jump pass and threw it behind Smitty on a drag route. Just a bad pass. Made Woodson out to be a bawl hawk, when really He just capitalized on Cam's rookie mistakes

Yeah, although he made me wonder if that last pick wasn't partly on Naanee. Yeah, it was a bad throw, but it sounds like he may have also been expecting something else.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
