Cam's Superman when down 23-7

[ckad79]

I get the impression that Cam has a hard time understanding a BIG time NFL playbook, so the coaches give him a really simple one to follow with only a few plays. It worked last year with a shorten preseason because teams didn't have time to prepare themselves for Cam. This year, they had all summer to study and watch game tape on him and those five or six plays and now he has been exposed, especially by GREAT teams. They get away with it still, every once in awhile, with a few fancy plays from Chud but otherwise it falls flat when the trickery doesn't work. Chud tried some trickery early on and the Giants figured it out and ever since then, you knew this game was downhill for Cam and Carolina. It'll be like that all year.

yeah thats why superman just threw TWO interceptions in key posistion on the drive, and we suck so bad they took out there starting qb. give me RG3 or luck. Both of those guys hold their heads up win or lose. Cam newton COULD be great but he beats himself. we will be under .500 again this year. get used to it.

I don't mind the pose, but keep in mind, had the tables been reversed and we were way up and a Giant scored a TD and celebrated... we'd trash him. Keep that in mind when you defend Cammy Cam.

Ok, what if you are right, Newton is the cause, what do you want to do about ?

[Sam Mills Fan]

Cam's biggest problem is that he presses in big games. He wants so badly to be that entertainer and icon that he overthinks things. Hey, I can't blame him, I was similar when I played football. Overthinking in big spots. Until he gets some humility and stops carrying about the CamBrand, he won't be doing anything of note for us.

[xclr82xtc]

professional football and huge losses on a national stage have a way of giving you some humility. when we go 4-12 this season, they will get it through there thick skulls. this aint entertainment. this is war.

[raleigh-panther]

Newton is a player like any other. If he makes a mistake correct him. Including, if the coach thinks his pose was inappropriate.

The least of this teams problems is Newton.

This team has zero, and I mean zero defense, abysmal special teams, a Oline that is vastly over-rated, and 50 million $$backfield that can't run.

...and Newton and his pose is the issue? OK then.

[Fox007]

Newton is a catapult for interceptions. He has a big arm and no technique.

He is slow to process the defense and hesitates too much.

If he would do his check down or run when his read isn't there, he wouldn't get himself into as much trouble as he does.

Ok, what if you are right, Newton is the cause, what do you want to do about ?

what ever we need to to get a franchise qb - trade future 1st rounders if need be just like Washington -

[raleigh-panther]

This team has its QB. What it does not have is a line on either side of the ball.

[Sam Mills Fan]

If we've found our quarterback and he hit his ceiling last year, we're in for a long several years.

lol at what I'm reading in this thread.

He's a 2nd year player, who since entering the league has had the entire franchise on his back. That pressure is increased as he has one of the worst defenses in the league and he feels like he has to score on every drive to even give the team a chance to win.

Yes, he makes bad decisions and he it seems he sulks on the sidelines but no where have I seen him be selfish or me 1st. You can see it from the way his teammates interact with him.

[Sam Mills Fan]

True, he's a 2nd year player and can still improve in theory. But can we at least stop calling him a superstar or having a one-track Cam Newton mind where he's the only player people care about? The guy has done more chokejobs than Tori Black.

[Millioso7]
