What other 2nd year QB has as high a potential as Cam?

I really think people (including myself) are very impatient with Cam because when it all clicks for him its going to be a once in a lifetime sight.

So the answer is NONE. Gotcha. I think people desire to take a "paternalistic" stance with Newton because of his heritage. They dont see themselves in him, so they feel the need to delegate or have him show he's "conformed". Has nothing to do with potential or being a "once in a lifetime" talent.

the sky is the limit with Cam. no one is denying that. Like I said dude has the tools to be a MVP of this league.

However - any criticism of his leadership abilities and his attitude after a loss are justified at this point in his career.

His whole "they didn't beat us - we beat ourselves" statement after the game was true though. If he hadn't thrown those 3 interceptions and numerous awful passes in that game we probably would have had a better chance.

ummm...cutler's leadership and pouting has been questioned for years.

newton's new and he can grow out of it. i will say this, though....he's absolutely NOT fine. he's a work in progress in the whole growing up department. he's seeking out help with the whole mind coach thing which is 1) admitting that he has a problem (something apparently some who have posted in here are ignoring/oblivious to) and 2) a HUGE step in the right direction.

i think most everything he's facing is just a maturity issue. he's got to get his emotions under control and learn to turn disappointments and failures into opportunity and motivation and he also HAS to understand the impact that his persona, good or bad, has on others and work to make it as positive as possible.

To be fair - Cutler has the strongest arm in the NFL.

Negativity is contagious.

I'm sure some people would have a problem with it. Probably those same experts who claimed Cam was going to be a mega-bust in the NFL. They need to clench to anything that may help them regain some sort of their credibility.

I'm surprised that douche who called Cam a "phony" and had "fake smiles" before the draft hasn't released a memoir piling on Cam after the Giants game.

He isn't paying attention to his coach either.

From a recent article, which is 100% correct...I noticed it too:

"The cameras showed him ignoring quarterbacks coach Mike Shula on the sideline."

Judging by his post-game comments, it was all execution... always execution. They wasn't executing. They knew what needed to be done, unfortunately whatever game-plan Chud is calling up has been terrible

Not to mention, the D didn't help at all

      Can’t get over this

      By Newtcase · Posted

      It's worth noting that we started playing something that looked like football after going down 17-0 against the Dolphins.  Up to that point we had rushed the ball 3 times and Bryce had two turnovers.   Then we ran it 5 straight times with Rico and he started cracking off some big gains and led to our first touchdown.  Another 37 yards of rushing later, Bryce goes 1 yard complete, incomplete, incomplete to get that field goal before halftime.  Then we committed big time to the run in the second half and played some really nice complimentary football.  The Panthers had stumbled on a formula, and it started with Rico being crazy productive.  Something they only learned because Chubba was injured and Bryce started that game so poorly they were forced to lean on Rico. Fast foward to Dallas, they essentially lean into the same game plan against the Cowboys and I think everyone was surprised by how quickly it started to look complimentary.  In my opinion the productive offense really helped the defense as well.  We played quite solid against a top offense. Finally we make our way to the Jets and Bills, Chubba's return.  You can't say the low scoring affair and return to ineffective football against the Jets was all on Chubba, they were indeed a better defense and so was Buffalo.  But the production difference between the two backs in both games was both visually and statistically obvious.  The bigger picture is the offense took a major step back as well.  They are other moving parts and it's isn't all one thing, BY9>Dalton by a decent margin at this point.   But yeah, Rico's vision and athleticism is just better than Chubba and it jumps at you.

      Shingles…

      By Lame Duck · Posted

      First day in 3 weeks my pain started to dwindle just a tiny bit.  Got switched from hydrocodone to post-shingles pain patches.  My insurance refused to pay for my patches as I’m too young for shingles per them.  I also need a prescription to get shingles shot and insurance also won’t pay for it even thought I just had shingles and in high risk to get it again.
