Peter King is feeling the swag (Part deux)

I know many of your are still sour and short sighted, but for those who can take a long-term perspective when looking at this team can take heart in knowing we have solved the most important part to building a franchise team.

Building a defense? Easy.

Finding a Elite QB? Not so much.

Anyways, Peter King, who many consider a major douche, has given Cam nothing but praise, and kudos to him for not holding a grudge, even though he started it.

2. Cam Newton. Phenom. I find myself reaching for ways to describe what we're seeing in Newton -- the confidence, the downfield throwing ability, the command of an offense early, the knowing when to throw and when to tuck it and run. And I find this to be a way to explain his instant impact: Newton threw for 374 yards in a loss at Chicago Sunday. Last night, it was barely a blip on the highlight shows, including our Football Night in America show on NBC, because of Newton throwing for more than 400 yards in his first two games as a pro. But 374's not bad. In John Elway's first 170 NFL games, he threw for 374 yards or more once.

Rookie of the Quarter: Cam Newton, QB, Carolina. Carolina put up 543 yards on Chicago, in Chicago, Sunday. I can't fathom these video game numbers that Newton is making possible. There has been no quarterback who has entered the league in its 92-year history and had the impact Newton has had in his rookie quarter-season. With passing games of 422, 432 and 374 so far, Newton is erasing the stigma that young quarterbacks -- even rookies without the benefit of an offseason program to learn the offense instead of having it force-fed in six weeks -- can't be ready to take the reins of a bad team in the first game of their pro careers.

Lot of people still blame him for the "icon and entertainer" kerfuffle. But he knows whats up now.

People need to stop fighting it and just start drinking large gulps of cammy cam juice and hop on this bandwagon while there is still room.

The scary thing is, he is still doesn't really know what he is doing. I can't imagine where he will be in year three when he is better at diagnosing plays pre-snap and having the ability to audible into the best possible play.

:eek: :eek:

I can't imagine year three when smitty could be gone and he is throwing to the trash that is our remaining receiver corps.

Man I'm glad I don't have your 'find the dark side' outlook. I'll PM you a # for a suicide hot line later. :smilewinkgrin:

Great point... he's working all on natural ability right now, when he's got a couple of years experience in he could be really scary.

I love how he plays with confidence and seems to let mistakes and bad plays roll right off of him... of course, it helps that he hasn't had that many bad plays. After that INT yesterday he came right back out firing.... that is awesome.

You seriously don't think we'll draft or sign other receivers?

I wouldn't call Gettis or LaFell trash. They've both shown a lot of promise in my opinion. I wouldn't call either a #1 at this point, but they're solid for the experience levels they have. I would like to see us draft a #1 to replace Smith in a couple season though. Imagine having a Calvin Johnson caliber receiver for Cam to throw to. :eek:

When it all comes together.....watch out. I for one am fine with how the seasons gone

I am too but let's just worry that Cam is too. Enough to stay here.

It's pretty disheartening to put up numbers like this and still lose.

I hope everyone in this organization wakes the fug up and starts helping Cam out because in a few years, if he is still putting up numbers like that and losing, he could very well wish to start winning somewhere else.

      Predictions from Charlotte observer sports writers

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      Fowler: Bucs 23, Panthers 16. Baker Mayfield only won a single game when he was an unimpressive Carolina starter, but somehow he’s 5-0 when playing AGAINST the Panthers. For the Panthers to pull off this upset, they’ll need to score at least in the mid-20s. With Tampa Bay relatively healthy following a mini-bye (and Mike Evans’ return is huge), it feels like this will be too tough a task. Kaye: Bucs 24, Panthers 20. The win-loss-win-loss streak comes to an end. It’s hard to trust the play-calling following the loss to the New Orleans Saints. The Panthers know what’s on the line, but they also knew last week, too. It’ll be close; I just have trouble trusting a positive outcome after a defeating one on the road. Zietlow: Panthers 38, Bucs 35. This prediction goes against conventional wisdom, but then again, conventional wisdom doesn’t seem to apply to these Panthers. This group, after all, has yet to lose back-to-back contests since Weeks 1 and 2. I think they win this one to make Week 18 interesting — and yes, that’s even with motivated Baker Mayfield and future Hall of Famer Mike Evans in good form. Why not?

      Week 16 - Other NFL Games

      Sam developed into a different player after he mostly sat for a year and learned a ton by being in that QB room under Shannahan in San Francisco.  Then he went to the Vikings who have a poo load of talent and another genius level offensive mind at HC in Kevin O Connel. I think they genuinely built up his confidence in a way he never did in New York or Charlotte.  He would not have been the same player if he stayed here IMO. Especially if he had been involved in that disaster season with Frank Reich in 2023, that might have cooked his confidence for good.  I guess you could argue we wouldn't have been that bad if we also kept cmc and dj i guess.

      Willis was impressive last night given the circumstances. GB and SF seem to just have it figured out as far as QB goes.   It's frustrating, but I enjoy seeing our old players find success elsewhere.
