Fresh take on Newton from a Packers blogger


SCP

Recommended Posts

Im confused by it as it is dead accurate but seemingly a take off of the Yahoo article. Good one none the less.

Sad we have to find Packer bloggers still breaking down anything with metrics for our own team...thanks observer..there is still a way to keep Panther in the news with no actual news guys..

In my experience with Packer fans. They are some of the more intelligent fans than most fans of other NFL teams. I even have friends that are Packer fans....And its damn near impossible to talk any trash to them. 2011 for example Panthers score they are like "wow, what a great play"  Great article too.

He hit on a huge point - the Panthers haven't really done much to help Cam on the offensive side.  Couple offensive linemen and some late round WRs who are battling to even stay on the roster.  Relying on 34 year old Steve Smith to shoulder the same load 26 year old Steve Smith did is unrealistic, but that's what they are asking.

I agree get the man some offensive line help at least. I like our draft picks but not at the expense of frustrating our franchise player. We got Luke some help can we get Cam some help too. Hopefully we plan to get a solid guard when teams cut down to the final 53.

all of the packers fans i've ever known have an encyclopedic knowledge of their team and usually have some kind of tie to wisconsin.  it seems like most of them have actually seen their team in person at least once too.

 

basically they're the opposite of cowboys fans.

    • if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying 
    • So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
