One more Newton/Panther trolling remark laid to rest

[panthers55]

One popular trolling remark was that Newton couldn't make a critical drive in the fourth quarter to ice a win. Busted

Another trolling comment was that the Panthers couldn't win against a team with a winning record. Busted

I winder how long before we hear from the trolls this week.....

Having 3 roads wins is big too. The atmosphere today was hostile as hell at the start of the game, and we got it done anyway.

Oh, and congrats to McDermott on doing a good job controlling Houston in spite of our guys going down to injury all day.

Keep donig it. Then it will go away. It will take more that one time to make the trolls stop.

There's still the 'We can't beat a good QB'

But newsflash: We suck. It doesn't really matter. It doesn't matter who's playing QB because this defense is weak & depleted. A win is a win.

[Tarheels23]

Don't forget the whole "He has more INT's than TD's" argument.

I don't think we win that game if it's not a backup out there, but a win is a win and I thought they'd be able to control the game with running the ball.

Defense stepped up big in making a couple of critical plays, offense had a great drive there, and a couple clutch conversions to run out the clock.

The trolls are definitely gritting there teeth right now. LOL

Also remember that the Falcons lost to this exact Houston team about 2 weeks ago....So them having Yates and Johnson being out is not a valid argument. They are still a very good team and we beat them.

edit: i was wrong...johnson did play

Those weren't trolling comments considering they were facts until today.

Johnson had 4 catches for 97 yards. Not the exact same team.

I think the "Cam isn't clutch" thing was way overdone, but there was something to be said for our offense's inability to get it done in the 2nd half most of the season. Even today I felt like we really struggled at times.

The thing is, I always feel like in the 4th quarter Cam has at least one really nice drive. Sometimes the team as a whole can't finish it for one reason or another (missed FGs, penalties on key plays, etc) but overall I do think he has shown enough in 4th quarters, even before this game, not to panic about him "not being clutch."

The trolls wont stop. Trust me.

I agree but people love putting everything on the QB. In a close lose he isn't clutch. In a win, he put the team on his back. I could swear there weren't 10 other guys on the field with him.
