I'm glad he's getting his turn. It's time to utilize this guy in any way possible. I'd trust him more in the Wildcat than D-will. At least he can actually throw the ball.

On the throwing play I would have liked if he threw to Olsen instead of Smith. Olsen was coming open on his route. I lol'd at cam just standing there.

not a bad pass... kind of wish we would do it more and let cam actually take a route to the endzone...at least it would be another look defenses have to prep for.

throwing a pass to cam on a go to the endzone would be money. Maybe run it right before a 2 minute warning or something to allow him to catch his wind during the break...yea Cam is the qb, but he is also 6'5 and the best athlete on the field.

Peppers did it. Why not Cam?

The guys on "Bustin Loose" said it best, Why take out the best Wildcat player in the leauge and insert Edwards. That is a stupid play when you have Cam Newton under center!!

Look at the way the Falcons played it. They all came up into the box to play run. Smith was left in single coverage, which he most likely wouldn't have been had Cam been back there. It was a good play call that caught the Falcons relatively off guard. It just didn't work out.

If we keep using Armanti to throw from time to time, teams will have to respect that a throw is a possibility and start double covering a receiver or two, which makes those inside wildcat runs a little more easy to work with.

We really don't want our star QB running up the gut on plays like that, and Armanti gives us a more robust Wildcat look than DeAngelo Williams does.

Agree with Ivan, the only way the wildcat will be effective is if there is at least some threat that the ball could be thrown. When DWill lines up to take the snap, he's gonna run, period. No surprise there.

I'm not saying it should be done much, but it's possible... hell, Cam would be a hell of a receiver to with his athleticism, at least make the D consider it.

Otherwise, if Armanti isn't going to return punts, and is only going to play WR 1 or 2 plays a game, cut him and put someone else in there on Defense that can play more.

conversely, armanti doesn't seem like much of a threat to run out of the wildcat either. I don't know who they think they're fooling.

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Ok fair to judge only his starts.  But you do acknowledge that going from "he's waaaay above league average in a number of categories" to "here's a single stat where he's above league average (not "waaaay") and another where he is exactly at the league average" is a pretty significant backpedal, no?  I'm guessing he's probably in the ~10th range for completion percentage too if we're only looking at starts (I'm too lazy to isolate his starts and do the calculations), so I'll grant you that one too.  But I don't think completion percentage is all that meaningful as a standalone stat if it isn't bolstered by good TD%, Y/A, etc. On that note, for how much people like posting Passing Charts in here (*cough* CRA) - if you peep Shough's passing charts, he hasn't completed a single 20+ yard pass in the past 3 games combined.  His last one was in Week 13 against the Dolphins, which was a single pass of 24 yards.  I just want to be consistent in how we apply our standards - I think it's always been warranted to criticize Bryce for it (even dating back to his rookie season), but do we suddenly not care about that with Shough? And yeah I did acknowledge that Saints' fans have reason to be excited about him and complimented his poise, which is giving my props.  Still not sure I agree that he looks better than a "ton" of QBs nor do I think you or anyone have really demonstrated that.  I think you are generally one of the more reasonable level-headed posters which is why I'm confused at what I consider to be rather hyperbolic language about Shough.

      I don't disagree with you, but want to point out that Tremble's strong suit has always been blocking. Case and point: on Horn's 25 yard run, he lays down not 1 but 2 nice blocks...and is looking for #3! https://www.panthers.com/video/jimmy-horn-jr-s-25-yard-run-gives-panthers-red-zone-access-on-first-drive

      It is a popularity contest.  The selection does have meaning though. It is also 1 of the criteria that is considered for the HOF. The game does not have any significance. The team hasn't been to the playoffs in nearly a decade. That's why they don't get primetime national coverage. To the victors go the spoils.
