8-for-8 -- This got lost in the shuffle Sunday, but Newton went a perfect 8-for-8 for 152 yards and a touchdown in the second half against Washington. He led the Panthers on three TD drives and had a perfect QB rating of 158.3 during the half.

he's so inaccurate he couldn't hit the broad side of a barn

He's still not pinpoint accurate like a Brady or Brees type, but his placement is definitely getting better and should only continue to improve as he gets more work with receivers.

Said many times a pass only has to be catchable, not perfect.

That said, the drop in to Smith at the one was perfect.

My overall impression is that Cam starts out games a little like Farve did, so jacked-up that he tends to "overthrow" his passes. As he settles in to the game, his accuracy improves because he's burned off some adrenaline.

The good news is that he's doing this as a rookie, which is certainly understandable, so as he gains more experience he probably won't be as jacked-up at the beginning of games.

Guess this nullifies our concerns over the "Cam's stats when we have the lead" topic that was discussed a few weeks ago.

I meant to participate in that discussion but didn't.

To me it hasn't been a case of whether we had the lead or not so much as it was he was way better at the start of games than at the end. I attribute that to having to adjust to the rigors of the pro game. A common thing even for rookies who play less active positions than quarterback.

Said a long way back that problem would take care of itself over time.

As the season draws on, the "rookie wall" looms nearer. Others will certainly hit it. Newton may hit it too. But again, that's a short term issue, not a long term one.

I will add his two sideline passes to Smitty, both of approx 20 yds if I remember correctly. Both were absolute lasers to Smitty running full speed, tightly covered, and both hit him right in the hands. Those were definitely Brady or Manning worthy, and frankly, I can't see Brees making those two throws.

And for Fowler, his 8 for 8 wasn't lost to all of us, I mentioned it in a thread yesterday. He actually missed one throw, but the play was called back because we were holding, so the incompletion didn't count.

Related Note: I think they changed up the type of passes he's throwing to Legedu Naanee.

I'm not seeing as many "jump balls" his way as before. Now it's more high percentage passes to him. Guess they realized his body control wasn't good enough for him to do the circus stuff and adjusted.

(imagine that) :sosp:

Is it wrong that I read the word adjusted & it took a few seconds to figure out what team you were talking about?

That's a running gag with a buddy of mine.

"They made an adjustment."

"What? Are we allowed to do that?"

"They changed the rules this year. It's allowed now. Used to be allowed for everyone but us."

      Reviewing the All-22: Week 1 @ JAX

      By Basbear · Posted

      Evero had me fouled about being one of best upcoming DCs. Im giving him until week 6 to show why he should last. If not for the LONG-TIME coverage skills of a healthy horn and MJ, its ultra scary to think they could be worst than giving up the most points in NFL history.

      Bryce Young is a problem — what would you do if you were Dan Morgan?

      By Loyalty4Life · Posted

      If I'm Dan Morgan I stick with the plan because one step back doesn't erase all the progress that Bryce made last season.  That was a total team loss and Bryce shoulders most of the blame because he's the QB and people are emotional. The Huddle would blame a one legged man for losing a kicking contest. Fans don't want to build a team.  They want one already built and winning from the jump. After the crime scene of Bryce's first year Tepper cleaned house and got his offensive coach who has a history of building QB's.  Dave had the nuts to bench a #1 overall QB in order to help him.  I agreed at the time that if the first 2 games of last year were what Bryce is, then drafting him will go down as the worst in NFL history. Everyone is doing exactly what they did last year when Bryce was benched.  Freak out.  Calls to cut him.  Sky is falling.  But when Bryce started playing better, and some games at a very high level, people started chopping up that plateful of crow.  Then the whole team craps the bed in the first game of the year and all those same people double down. Dave and the coaching staff had a plan to reset him and bring him back.  They did.  He not only played better but played a lot better.  I've always said that as long as Bryce is making progress and getting better, you don't pull the plug.  Think of it like a stock.  It's not going up in a straight line.   Some of ya'll bring shame to our motto.  Dan, Bryce and the rest of the team need to do what they've been doing all of last year.  Building, getting better. If I was Dan, I'd keep pounding.
