Despite all this "sophomore slump" blah blah, cam actually has a higher quarterback rating as of now than he did last year (not qbr) 85.8 > 84.5.

He is also averaging more yards per completion. I think if we can get some more talent on the OL and a WR we will be alright.

Also new coaches.

I just think it's funny how everyone has been bashing cam for having a down year. I know quarterback rating doesn't say it all, and he has struggled mightily in some games/situations, but overall he is having a very similar year as last year.

At this point last year, his td-int ratio was 13/14 (14-10 now) and EVERYONE was slobbering over him. What changed?

Over the last five games Cam is completing 58% of his passes for 1,232 yards, has 9 TD's to just 2 INT's, and has an average rating of 103. Plus he has ran for 214 yards and 3 TD's. Cam had some struggles earlier, but has been playing very, very good football lately.

Can't knock him because the rest of the team consistently shits the bed.

expectations changed

Last year we were coming off a 2-14 season and we were all talking about how 4 wins would be huge.

This year, most everyone was expecting 8-8 or better (except for a few). Unfotunately, the easiest person to target when expectations aren't being met is the QB (outside of the head coach). Even if he is having a decent year.

unfortunately the most attractive talking point for pundits is "over the last five games cam newton has completed just fifty-eight percent of his passes. that's abysmal. is it the towel? ego? it's safe to say there's a really bad sophomore slump going on here blah blah blah"

The issue still lies in the fact that we just can't seem to win close games.

Neither the defense nor the offense seem to be able to stand up and make a play when we really need it.

The defense was weak yesterday. But, the offense did have the ball twice in the final 8 minutes needing a TD to win....and could not close the deal. Now, the play calling sucked as usual....but you still gotta make plays when the game is on the line.

Until this offense can demonstrate the ability to do that, Cam will continue to be questioned by the media....unfairly a lot of times, but it will continue to happen.

I would leave off the completion pct in that debate, that's pretty low. I wouldn't have expected it to be that low....

If you are comparing it to quarterbacks that run the spread of wco then it would be low. For a qb running a vertical passing game like coryell air its decent. He is throwing a higher percentage of deep balls which will naturally hurt completion pct but help ypa.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
