Before Tuesday’s practice, Steve Smith spoke on the soaring expectations media and fans are placing on record-setting QB Cam Newton: “We don’t care what his expectations are. That is the difference between spectator, fan and player. We don’t care what you think. Cam has leadership potential.”

Jordan Gross noticed a steady improvement. “I like him better now than in September,” Gross said. “He doesn’t carry as much weight on his shoulders. He understands it’s not just him who can win a game.”

Thats who QB's normally become is a Leader on the field and off the field. Hard to do in just a few days especially at this level. To lead at this level first u got to get respect and as we all know respect is earned not just bestowed. Cam has earned respect from every one not just our team. Looks to me like he could be Great if all goes well.

Here's Hoping He leads us to The Promise Land!!!!!!!

Not sure how to interpret Gross' comments

I take it to mean that Cam's growing up a bit in realizing he can't put all the pressure on himself. His teammates are professionals too, and he can't feel like he has to try to make a play every single time the ball is in his hands, because he'll make mistakes and put the team in a bad position. If he shows trust in them, rather than putting it all on himself, that's another step towards real leadership.

Michael Jordan used to try to win every single game by himself, but it wasn't until he started to put trust in his teammates that he became a champion.

I'm going to guess it's just that Cam is making a transition from trying to win by himself and just be better than everyone else to being more of an actual leader. There's probably myriad little things that go into that that we don't see...from his attitude in the huddle to the way he conducts himself in meetings.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
