The Site We All Hate: Cam Newton far better, far sooner than anyone expected

Carolina’s offense was dead last in points, passing yards, and total yards last season. They rank 14th, 5th, and 5th respectively this year. That’s all Newton.
that point is lost on many. the team is turning around in a big way and this is only the beginning.

i expect them to be top 5 in all those areas next year and going forward.

I don't understand why people compare him to Vince Young, their situations are basically opposite. Young didn't play well but the Titans were winning, while Newton is playing great and the Panthers are losing.

Not to mention the fact that Cam is just plain better than Young.

Funny that he mentioned Olsen and not Shockey... I was leary about the Shockey signing, but in a lot of ways, I think Shockey has outplayed Olsen, and I'm not saying that Olsen has played badly.

I agree!

I also think Olsen is somewhat soft. Don't get me wrong, he stretches the field, and I'm happy we have him, but if him and Shockey was the same age, and we could only have one, I would go with Shockey 10/10.

shockey's hard as f*ck... which is why he's been injured about 40% of his career.

      D-Mo on FA & some of my general thoughts

      By BEASTfromdaEAST · Posted

      This fan base and being cool with mediocrity is infuriating. Making excuses for billionaires who had no business imploding a franchise and making us the Browns of the South.  Good on you man being a glass half full kind of person, I am not. I have zero faith in Tepper "evolving" and quoting Morgan in saying they been easy to work with is not any evidence of that actually happening. I'm sure if I go back and watch Fitt, Rhule and Reich pressers they said the same b.s. towing the line jargon to appease their boss. Stuff like, O they've been great, such great collaboration or some crap. Give me wins that is the ONLY analysis I need to judge are clown of an owner.....

      You're equating wins with evolving, but It's a little more complex than that. This will be the new managment's third season. It will also be the third season where the Teppers have taken a step back. If you think that the only way to measure improvements due to seeming changes for the better is wins and losses after only two years--one being a playoff berth, "limping" in there or not, then perhaps you're being more emotional. By most analysts' measure, Dan Morgan has the Panthers moving in the right direction. He can only get us to where we need to be with the blessing and cooperation from the owners. He has said several times now, that they are easy to work with. Rhule, Reich and Fitterer did not say that. In fact, you could literally see the pressure put upon them by their countenance.  Bottom line: it has been reported that they have changed and everything that we've seen (and not seen) is indicative of that belief. We were a playoff team, and we had a good showing. With the moves that have been made this offseason, and last offseason to be honest, NFL types are expecting the Panthers to compete for the division the upcoming season, and that's even before the draft. This is all with a QB that is still a question mark.  Rome wasn't built in a day. David Tepper has seemed to internalize that, and now many fans need to appreciate the same. It could be argued that we didn't have any business winning the games we did in '24 or '25, much less make the playoffs this past season. A positive transition appears to be afoot. We are close to becoming a perennial contender, and that's thanks to a developing culture change that is being allowed to happen. This was not the case when the Teppers, particularly David, were fumbling around trying to figure out how to run an NFL franchise.

      Dude is a beast on ST. I like the emphasis on special teams with him and Simmons.
