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.

It was pretty clear on the broadcast.

I didn't see anyone over the top when the pick happened. It seemed like the end of the frame was pretty close to where it happened so you couldn't see the guy over the top.

Then again, I may have been closing my eyes, throwing stuff, and cussing.

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.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
