One more Newton/Panther trolling remark laid to rest

Recommended Posts

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.....

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.

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.

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."

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.

    • At the moment? Absolutely not. Maybe if they drop the next three in a row and go into the deadline at 3-6 I can see an argument to be made to move Rico as he's on a 1yr deal. I'd rather keep Chuba's contract though and roll with ETN + JB next season. The team will have plenty of time to see how JB is looking going into the offseason a year-plus after his surgery to know whether or not they need to plan for another direction.
    • I forgot to mention my thoughts on the rushing grade! 😮 He ran his ass off both weeks. I can't remember the stat offhand but didn't he have something crazy like 120+ yards after contact vs. Dallas? Against Miami he had lanes as wide as the entirety of I-95 to run through which is why his rushing grade wasn't as high as this week's. He's ran like a man possessed and going to earn himself some money in the offseason.
    • I'm not sure how much I'm changing mid year, especially when we are seeing some success.    Most Pass Rushers are physically gifted. Scheme and personnel help, but you gotta have the Jimmys and Joes, especially at that position.    We will likely lose games when the other team can throw for 400 yards, and has multiple high level receivers, but I think at this point in the development of our franchise, we have to be ok with that. You can't address every single issue at once. Really looks like we have plugged some holes on offense, and definitely in run defense. In the next draft, if we hit on a CB, an ILB and a Pass rusher, we will be pretty dangerous.
