Cam Newton poised for breakout year - ESPN

While the threat is equally as efficient at keep d-lineman and blitzers at bay, if Cam doesn't scramble some or run an option type play a few times a game we are missing on some serious home run opportunities.

Read option a couple times a game and scrambling when the pass protection breaks down is EXACTLY the amount that I would like to see next season.

Agree that he needs "some" running plays to keep the defense honest and exploit them.

 

But, Chud DID run him way too much early on last year.

 

That's an understatement. Cam leading our team in rushing was absolutely inexcusable.

the comments on that article are unbearable

this.

 

but.....it could be said that the best is yet to come and 2011 and the end of last year was only a glimpse of what is to come.

 

if he hasn't yet actually broken out....hold on to your hats.

 

 

No great player has their best season be their Rookie season.

 

In order to be that MVP type QB, he will be poised to go 4,500, 35td and 600 yds rushing, 5td.

I will point out one thing though. Luck's running ability is highly underrated. He is very athletic and can run very well when needed. Like an Aaron Rodgers or Steve Young.

 If Cam has 4500 yards passing, our offense was very 1 dimensional

It sounds great on a stat line but if Cam has that many rushing yards then we aren't doing it right.

 

Especially with all these running backs we currently have..

Luck's running ability is underrated. However, Luck may have similar speed to Newton but Luck cannot and will not shake off defenders like Cam. Cam's elusiveness is what makes him so great as a QB whereas Luck will just run a straight line.

Brady threw for 4,800 yards - Ridley ran for 1,200 yards.

 

Not impossible.

Good Point.

[Guest HelloWorld]

About time someone who actually watch a panther game write an article about Cam. Only one thing I might add is that, Luck might be the pocket passer in that group but not the best passer. Otherwise, great article.

agreed. he's got good speed, but he's also big and strong enough to power through defenders.
