If you don’t like Cam Newton after watching him on Sunday against the Falcons, it says more about you than it does about him.

Nice to see a decent article on the Cam-bashing.

Nice to see a decent article on the Cam-bashing.

It boggles my mind why Cam has to prove himself so much as a QB based on nothing more than speculation and shalllow criticism that isn't across the board for all qbs.

Funny how no one is making much out of Luck's INTS.. Everytime one questions the obvious difference in media bias, they come up with some lame rationale.

In a way, I'm kind of glad Cam has experienced the hatred of the media early on in his career. That way when we are successful, we can ignore all the hype they divulge. We can really say we are doing it for ourselves, and could care less about what people think about us. Right now RG3 is living on the hype he's getting. When he falls, he is going to fall hard.

Read the article, then the comments. Some of the ignorant comments on there boggle my mind. One guy said something referring to Cam's celebrations then said he should be more like RG3 and not act like a 5 year old. RGIII falls to the ground and raises his arms after every touchdown pass.

The media has painted such a bad image for Cam that people just thoroughly dislike him as a person. Not saying he doesn't deserve some of the criticism he gets, but they blow everything way out of proportion. But I suppose thats their job.

He will barely be mentioned this week methinks

^This.

Think back to when we beat the Skins. If they hadda won, the over the top anti-Cam folks (Cowherd & SVP come to mind) would have crowed about it from the rooftops & half their show would have been just about that. As it was it was hardly mentioned

This sentence probably better articulates what I was trying to explain to the haters all season.

Newton played at such a high level as a rookie that maybe we should treat a step back in his second season not as an invitation to rip him mercilessly, but as a simple example of regression to the mean.

until he wins a ring some will never be quieted.

nor should they.

let that be his fuel. let them keep providing those mental bullets.

i don't know if i want him all that respected by those outside the panthers until he wins a ring.

for most, that will be the definitive proof of what he can do.

    • I must apologize, my sarcasm at times doesnt translate well in text form lol. At this point I would welcome us signing him, Trey Lance, trading for Jameis Winston, asking about Deshaun Watson and playing phone tag with Tom Brady before I ever fully entertain a season of Bryce Young being the defacto Starting Quarterback of the Panthers.

    • We had a QB who could do that and its the last time we went to the Super Bowl and the only time we had an MVP. Once he lost his ability to do that he was out of the league. To filter out insignificant stats I will only look at QBs who have played in 10 or more games this year. There are 28 qualifying QBs. Bryce is 25th in Air Yards per Attempt at 6.4. Only Joe Flacco, Cam Ward, and Dillon Gabriel are worse (6.0, 5.8, 5.1). Trevor Lawrence, Patrick Mahomes, and CJ Stroud are the median QBs at 7.1. Drake Maye and Sam Darnold lead the league at 8.7. Bryce is 18th in the league for passes that travel 30+ yards at 12. The median is Caleb Williams at 15. The league leader is Matthew Stafford with 26. With passes that travel 40+ yards, Bryce is tied with three others at 21st in the league with 3. Only Jacoby Brissett, Cam Ward, Joe Flacco, and Dillon Gabriel are worse. The median is a three-way tie with Drake Maye, Trevor Lawrence, and Baker Mayfield with 6. The league leader is Sam Darnold with 12. Having the ability to complete passes down the field (not YAC) stretches the defense and makes them account for more ground. It keeps players out of the box and keeps formations in nickel or dime, less line backers for your RBs to worry about. Bryce is why we have 2 losses against the Saints. If he had the outright ability to sling the football down field we beat the easily, but he doesn't. So they crowded the box and our 2 starting caliber RBs with our top ~10 Oline couldn't carry the offense to a win on their own. The limitations of the offense fall squarely on Bryce.
