UNBIASED: Thats a good article and I'm confident that both the both the coaches and cam are discussing and correcting the exact same issues the writer informs us about. IMO he can only get better from this.

BIASED: fug this poo man it was everyone else's and their mothers fault this writer is just a cam hater like the rest of them he has no clue!!!

Can't really argue with that. We've all known for a long time that he had footwork issues and the likelihood that one season under his belt could completely fix the problem was low. He was under pressure all day - easy to slip back into bad habits when you're harried.

He's a talented young man with an extreme desire to be better. He'll be fine.

I was expecting him to be a bit more polished after a year of starts and a complete off season to work on things.

Wondering if we got Vic 2.0.

Let the hate start.

who the fug is "vic". if you mean michael vick, he was much more raw at this point in his career than newton is.

btw newton passed for as many touchdowns and more yards as a rookie than "vic" ever has in any season of his career.

With a clean pocket to work in, Newton had the time to plant his lead foot in the ground, rotate his hips, and follow through to deliver a ball to the back shoulder of Smith. But he didn’t do any of that. Instead, he opened his left hip, cocked back, and attempted to deliver the ball with sheer arm strength instead of rotating his hips like he has been instructed to by coaches.Newton fails to rotate his hips. Because of his lack of hip rotation and follow through, Newton’s pass went in the opposite direction than the one he intended. Ideally, he should have placed the ball outside and on the back shoulder of Smith because that’s the safest and only area where the cornerback or safety can’t make a play. It would have been either a complete or incomplete pass, with no damage done. However, the ball drifted inside because Newton didn’t generate enough power from his lower body to throw it outside.Quarterbacks are taught to generate power from the back leg, which is transferred to the front foot when the hips are rotated and then goes up the hip and shoulder to deliver a throw with proper balance. That wasn’t the case here, however, and as a result, the ball ended up inside of Smith and in the hands of Black.

So had he actually followed proper mechanics this ball wouldn't have been intercepted.

      Thomas Fletcher Didn’t Make It, But These Four Did

      Seriously? A CB who missed all that time on his rookie deal and was also a top 10 pick when the guys picked right before and after have been studs. A RB our GMs tried to replace with FAs and 2nd rounders and two backup level players is one of the best drafts we’ve ever had? I’d argue that the 2011/2012 drafts were better even with just Cam and Luke/Norman. Here’s the drafts I think were better: 2017, maybe 2018, 2015, 2013, 2011, 2012, 2008, 2007, 2001, 2002 (just Pepp) I’m hoping 2025 is way better as well. Honestly, we’ve kind of sucked at drafting overall and that’s the only reason you can even remotely call Horn, Hubbard, Tremble and BC a good draft let alone one of our best ever. Good teams that draft well would laugh at that as a great draft. If you want to look at say the 2023 Lions draft, you’d get 4 stud/above average/average starters not just 3 replaceable starters/backups and a top 10 pick that missed half his games. That’s a draft that helps turn a team into a playoff team. Our record since our 2021 draft is 19-49. A best ever draft doesn’t go 19-49.

      I remember when football was great.    Wasn't this century.

      Bingo. You can't pay that type of player elite franchise QB money. That average starter type player can excel when he's surrounded by top shelf talent in a great offensive system but pay him elite QB money and you're going to really struggle to surround him with the type of talent you need to carry him. You pay those elite franchise QBs because they can carry your roster. You can't pay guys who have to be carried. Bryce showed glimpses down the stretch last year. I really hope he keeps building on that. But before we back up the Brinks truck he needs to show that he's the type of QB who can lift up and carry the offense because when you pay those guys that's what they're gonna have to do.
