Pro Football Focus Had this to Say About Cam

Now this is last year after Cam played Atlanta the 2nd time but this was their take:

"He is unique in two ways: a huge percentage of his bad throws are overthrows and when he does go astray, I’m not sure anyone misses by a bigger margin; the second interception must have sailed at least 10 feet over his target. The truth is, if you take away his running, he’s a bottom-third quarterback, if you include it (which obviously you must), he’s at the bottom of the top third. If he can sort out the issues with accuracy and inconsistency, he could go much higher than that."

This is what they had to say after the Atlanta team this year second go around:

"This was one of the better performances we’ve seen from Cam Newton (+4.4) this season. Not necessarily in terms of his overall grade — this marked the third time in three weeks he’s graded above +4.0 — but more so regarding his presence in leading a struggling Panther team to a much needed victory against the one-loss Falcons. Newton was in command from the start, leading Carolina to points on each of their first half possessions and finishing the game with two touchdowns and a 67.6% adjusted accuracy percentage — his highest since Week 2. As good as his passing was, he was electric running the ball, as he gained 116 yards on just nine carries, including a 72-yard touchdown run early in the third quarter. His best play of the day came not on that touchdown run, but at 14:11 of the second quarter when he made a spectacular run to pick up the first down on 3rd-and-11, eluding a sack attempt by Corey Peters in the process.

He was not perfect, though, as he displayed shaky deep and intermediate accuracy at times, completing just 6 of 16 passes over 10 yards in the air. However, he excelled on short throws, going 17 of 18 on throws under 10 yards and behind the line of scrimmage."

This is before the Chargers game:

"Speaking of the Panthers’ offense, Cam Newton has been on fire. He has posted a +16.3 grade in the past four games. In this form he is able to do it all, whether on the ground or through the air, as proved by his 287 passing yards and 116 rushing yards in Week 14. The Chargers’ defense will look to contain the ground game and count on our highest-rated safety, Eric Weddle, to help in coverage. If Newton continues to dominate as a duel threat it will be a long day for the Chargers’ defense."

      Worst Panthers Preseason Yet

      By Panthers Fan 69 · Posted

      Also, the fact we are comparing this one to the 10 preseason tells me we are in for another horrible year.

      Kicker

      Well, they're both in the same league (if you will). During preseason, Fitz went 3/3 & Sauls went 5/6, but of course Sauls was 4/4 last night (including one 50+). Both were Lou Groza Award finalists. I believe Fitz made two 55+ yarders last season, while Sauls led the nation with three. Fitz was 13/13 (💯) while Sauls was 21/24 (87.5). Fitz was a 3rd-Team AP All-American, while Sauls was a PFF All-American.  Career-wise, Fitz was 58/74 (78.4), while Sauls was 52/64 (81.3). I wish that I could see the attempts and knew the depth of yardage. I wish that we could compare practice kicks during their training camps, but we can't. Maybe someone with a PFF/CFF account can give that Basically it's just a matter of belief I guess. Seeing dude knock down four FGs and go perfect during a pressure-filled game for him is damned impressive if you ask me. I don't believe that Fitzgerald could do that.  That being said, I'd have to know more. I will say that it may be worth mentioning that we seem to like PFF this year and Sauls being a PFF All-American may be notable. Now that being said, the Panthers may not be even considering Sauls.
