Cam Newton: Leader of the New School

Recommended Posts

A nice article that isn't on the bash-a-panther bandwagon. Good breakdown of the read option plays too.

 

Doesn't tell us much we don't already know, but it's refreshing nonetheless.

2013 will see possibly the greatest group of QB’s at one time the league has ever seen. From Andrew Luck, to Sam Bradford, all the way to aforementioned duel-threat prowess’s of Kaepernick, Wilson and Griffin III – this league will see some high-caliber play from guys who aren’t even over the age of 25. I believe the 24 year old Cam Newton will be at the forefront due to his uncanny size, speed and power. His ability to throw, coupled with the many different schemes that now offensive coordinator Mike Shula will continue to design – will ensure that Cam Newton and his Carolina Panthers continue the trend of……Scheming this league to death.

It's a really nice article.

Grits is funny that his hatred for Cam has him following Cam Newton articles around the internet to keep spewing his hate. LMAO.

I don't think funny is quite the right word.

Psychotic maybe?

LOL. He replied awful quick, that one eyed pedophile still posts here. He gives losers a bad name.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
