Tonight was Newton's best completion % performance ever in a preseason game 3.

2011 - 31%

2012 - 40 %

Tonight - 52%

Cam will be fine... worry about the OL. One that has Williams running at an all time low this time of year. Newton will be the same big play machine he has been.....and we are running the standard Rivera preseason plan of running a vanilla O that takes away all his comfort plays.

Cam is fine. He produced record offense here each year following those all important game 3's

Two things after I've watched the first half

 

- If we make it to next Thursday without adding a legitimate player on the OL, there's a dent perception wise in Gettleman's armor. I just watched our star QB get hurt because our "starting" RG missed an assignment because he's also the backup at LG and very clearly has no idea how the position works. Unacceptable.

 

That huge Lafell drop is also unacceptable.

 

- I've decided on willing to part with something important to legitimately address the OL. I feel strong enough about the rest of the roster that I believe we can make a run and it's worth making a move to insure that that crucial spot on the team does not hold us back.

Yeah dude. You of all people cannot make a thread like this. Either you think cam is going to be fine and the offense will still produce or you think gettleman isn't sold on cam and he's gonna be gone soon. Pick one

I think Cam will be Cam....put the team on his back and be a monster. Same ole, same ole

Do I think he has the pieces around him to be consistant and for the team to turn all these close games into wins? Not with what is around Cam currently. Weak cast around Cam will keep the O too hot and cold and too much on Newton....

Those thoughts don't contradict each other. No need to pick one. Cam will be the same guy he has been for the last 2 seasons.

The offensive line is a problem, and the reason isn't that they're getting manhandled physically, they're simply blowing basic assignments and playing like retards who have no clue what they're doing. Maybe it's the vanilla playcalling, but I'm definitely worried about the line calls.

 

As far as Cam is concerned I'd actually give him props for not committing more turnovers under the kind of duress he's been under.

      Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually.

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
