Jedi Mind trick Performed on Panthers

I think the league, and all of the announcers have made the Carolina Panthers perform a Jedi Mind trick on themselves. We have forced Cam Newton to be a pocket qb, despite his ability to be a great rollout qb.

Some said Newton was a 1 read and run quarterback, some said he was a running qb, Some said he was stupid and couldn't read NFL defenses.

The Panthers coaching staff so eager to prove that Newton wasn't the above, have committed to making him a passing qb at all expense, forcing him to go for 25 yard passes on first down from our 20. Not protecting the ball by dinking and dunking when we have the lead, not running a true option set like The Golden Calf of Bristol is despite having a better running qb.

Now Newton seems to sit in the pocket waiting for receivers to get open deep downfield, and get sacked or hurried.

I'm not an offensive coordinator, so to some degree I see what Chud is trying to do; but at the same time, where every other team seems to protect their rookie qb all the game, we seem to provide no safety net for our Rookie QB.

I'm not saying he can't be a passing qb. I'm saying why does he always have to pass from the pocket. Early in the season they were rolling him out on the first plays of the game. Now not so much.

More enlightened football minds please educate me.:patriot:

Yea I think Chud is a little too pass happy. He needs to stop trying to get so vertical and do some shorter pass routes and I'm not talking about smoke screens. More slants, 5-10 yard outs, etc. Its also Cam's fault a little bit because he needs to take what is there and not try to go downfield all the time.

you're a victim of your first couple games. coming into the league, no one thought that cam was too accurate and played him soft. he lit it up, then DCs began to take him seriously and his numbers haven't been the same since. however, your OC is trying to repeat the success at the beginning of the season, but he doesn't realize that it wasn't his brilliant playcalling, it was the defenses not knowing what to expect of cam and now they have his number.

    • As far as elite/elevate talent QB’s It’s Allen Mahomes Jackson and Burrow that’s it.  Then we have tiers and those can be debated all day Dak is a good QB but I know this board would want him out of Charlotte if he was the QB here. 2 playoff wins in 10 years. Justin Herbert no playoff wins. Threw 4 interceptions in last years playoff game. 23 TD passes last year. 20 the year below and 25 the year before that. This board loves stats without context and these stats aren’t saying they’re much above complimentary  Kyler Murray isn’t good. I’m not sure how he made this list.  Caleb Williams, Trevor Lawrence both benefiting from some real good offensive coaches right now. They’re both complimentary pieces until proven otherwise  I like Jordan Love. Always have. I wanted to draft him but he isn’t a superstar.  CJ Stroud hasn’t been much better than Bryce after his rookie season. After that Bears game year 2 his numbers very similar to Bryce I will say I think Drake Maye is well on his way to becoming the next top tier QB if I had to pick one from this entire list. I’d also say Baker Mayfield is a damn good QB and I’d take him over most of those guys not in the elite category  Now if you want to debate tools and which QB’s possess tools to put them in higher tiers that’s a completely different discussion. Most QB’s on your main list all have those physical tools that will keep you thinking he’ll become the next top tier QB. They’ll sprinkle in a “wow” play or two a game. Bryce will never look that way. Young’s game at its peak will physically always look different and I think that’s where most people struggle when it comes to seeing how Young’s can be successful in the league  All QB’s need a team around them. I think the Bills are failing Josh Allen much like the Panthers did Cam. Beane and McDermott using same blueprint with Bills team. Josh Allen hasn’t had much in terms of WR’s and it’s ultimately costing them when it matters the most
