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."

      Preseason Week 3 - vs. Pittsburgh (practice tweets, discussion, etc)

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      They had best show out in Week 1 there are zero,I mean zero,  excuses for that offense  defense, haven’t play together yet and they still have Mr Soft and Predictable as DC  I expect break downs at times  …but that offense returns all starters except Tremble and both Mayes and Brady are veterans and can play LG and know the system not up for any participation awards this season they can save that practice energy for Jacksonville.     I’m sick of the, winning,  or looking competitive, when it doesn’t matter.

      There are some tough decisions that I'm eager to see the results of... Does Blackshear sneak on to the roster as RB4? Does the team go with 4 TEs or just 3 again? And has Mitchell Evans done enough to defend his roster spot from James Mitchell? Who is WR6 and is there a WR7? TMac, XL, Coker, and AT seem to be locks imo and I'm assuming Renfrow also makes it due to all of the camp praise. Who makes it between Brycen Tremayne, Jimmy Horn Jr, and David Moore? If the team goes with 7 WRs, which one of those three doesn't make it? Jacolby George and Emani Bailey both have not gotten a lot of game time. Could the Panthers be trying to hide them so that they can be stashed on the PS? Do they go with 10 OL instead of 9? Who makes it out of Walton, Carter, and Kingston? DL locks are DB, BB3, ARob, and Turk. That leaves Jaden Crumedy, Cam Jackson, Sam Roberts, Shy Tuttle, and LaBryan Ray all competing for the final 1 - 3 spots. Does DJ Johnson get IR'd and Thomas Incoom make the roster as EDGE5? What in the fuuuuuuuuuuuuck is going to happen at LB? Only locks are Wallace, Rozeboom, and Cherelus (Wallace has mentioned in media how Cherelus has been big bro for him on the team) seem to be locks. Rhattigan had some good moments against Houston, Martin-Scott is an SC guy, Krys Barnes has popped on defense and on special teams, and Windmon got time starting for the team last season. Are two of those guys going to make it or are the Panthers poaching from another team's cuts? CB5... who is it? Do they go with the 4 expected safeties or bring in a 5th? Has Ransom done enough to take the start from Nick Scott?

      I had this discussion with my buddy yesterday afternoon. If we start this season very slow(especially with the schedule being what it is) and then "rally" in the second half to get to 4-7 wins, I am already gonna be pretty heated at the staff overall. I know we are a very bad roster but I am not gonna keep excusing these slow season starts WITH late season rallies. That's a coaching staff problem, IMO. It's more excusable to just stink gate to gate, IMO. At least you can understand why.
