Too much pressure on Cam Newton to win

You can't throw to a spot like that unless the defender has it back to the play or out of position.  You do that any other time and you are asking for an INT.

 

This is exactly why Ross picked off Newton. He was on LaFell's route the entire time and the ball was laid out on a platter asking him to catch it.

One good throw does not make up for an entire game of being off. The corner throw to LaFell was great because Newton threw to a spot instead of a player. I'd like to see more spot passing from him before I'll crown him an accurate passer. 

 

As I've stated many times, only Panther fans  can act real smug  and condesending when it comes to what their QB does but quick to make excuses for the rest of the team. I get it, Cam is your team's workhorse. SMDH

 

I wonder if you would feel the same way had your team gotten the media chosen Luck as your QB?

For me it starts and ends at the quarterback. It's well known Newton has problems reading a defense and after three years in the league with all the starting experience he has something is wrong. He is either not putting the time in the film room, does not have the ability to read or just doesn't care. If it's 1 and 3 then I don't want him on the team. If he can't figure out the plays then they need to stop forcing him into that but without being on the sideline you can't tell if its the coach or the player.

Hey NCstoner. How do you like that throw and catch!?

Or are you too busy typing up vitriol about Cam to even watch the game?

Your blatant ignorance is showing.

 

It was a speed receiver blowing the top off of the coverage, it was the reason Ginn was brought into Carolina and the reason I supported that move. Those deep throws are Newton's bread and butter but he has to be more consistent underneath for those routes to open up.

It's well known by who, Mike Mayock?

 

I'm watching the same game as you and all I'm hearing is endless praises for Cam from these Analysts. First time ever. Yet, I come on here and I see the same Cam BS from some of you.  Since when Cam has problems reading defense outside of you folks trying to make some ish out of everything he does?

 

The only problem I've ever seen with Cam, even when looking at his STATS from his college days, was his low throwing percentage.  Him having problems reading defense was never an issue. But it's clear some of you Panther fans love to make things up about Cam and act like it's a fact.

Yeah Cam threw the pick, but you fail to realize that on any type of comeback routes the WR must help his QB and come back to the ball. Lafell did not, and drifted back allowing Ross to undercut the route. Hell Billick even said that he was supposed to come back to the ball.

 

THANK YOU!!!

 

It seems there are way to many negatgive naysayers on here who love to blame your QB for every ish.

 

I saw a receiver who took one step to many and  cause the defense to beat him back to the ball. Cam threw the ball where he wanted it to go.

 

Watch the negative Nay-sayers make much out of that one throw when it was clearly on Lafell  and harp on it as if it was the entire game. That's my issue with some of these Panther fans. They are so damn obvious.

I never said LaFell ran a perfect route. Newton should not have thrown that pass while Ross was staring him down, it's a rookie mistake that a third year starter should not be making.

Eli still makes those mistakes, peyton still makes those mistakes and in the playoff no less. Many qbs and even elite qbs still make those mistakes. You are harping on cam's negatives to justify your hate. It's crystal clear right now.

It was not a rookie mistake by the QB, but the WR. He drifted in his route so that allowed the CB to under cut the ball. If ran correctly, the ball would have been caught or Ross would have to run thru Lafell.

      Post Draft Luke and JJ Podcast

      By GamecockSmitty4 · Posted

      Here’s a summary of the JJ and Luke podcast transcript. Opening / Bryce Young Fifth-Year Option     •    JJ: Breaking news — Panthers picked up Bryce Young’s fifth-year option at $25.9M, guaranteed, coming in 2027. Combined with his 2025 salary of ~$6M, that’s $31M over two years — called it a “no-brainer.”     •    Luke: Enthusiastic about the move. Highlighted Bryce’s improving TD/INT ratios (11/10 → 15/9 → 23/11) and the value of entering year three with Dave Canales. Noted $25M is a bargain relative to the $60M top of market. Luke’s Personal Update — Charlotte Christian Football     •    Luke: Working with Charlotte Christian school football program, which hired a new head coach. Coaches include Greg Olsen, Luke, and Greg’s dad Chris Olsen (a New Jersey State coaching Hall of Famer).     •    JJ: Jokingly quipped that Charlotte Christian’s coaching staff is “the world’s greatest” — a Fox analyst, a Hall of Famer, and the best Panthers RB ever — all coaching middle school football.     •    Luke: Praised Chris Olsen’s deep football knowledge spanning decades and his ability to connect with kids. Round 1, Pick 19 — Monroe Freeling, OT, Georgia     •    JJ: Panthers were on the clock and submitted their pick almost immediately — a sign of confidence and preparation. Freeling is 6’7”, 320 lbs, played in the SEC in a pro-style system.     •    Luke: Loved the pick. Emphasized you can never have too many quality offensive linemen. Noted Freeling’s size, athleticism, and arm length as key traits. Said the pick also reflects team’s philosophy of drafting great people, not just great players.     •    JJ: Noted reporter Darren Gantt compared Freeling favorably to Jordan Gross — bigger, heavier, and faster — as a potential franchise left tackle.     •    Luke: Pointed out that young players like Freeling still have physical development ahead of them, comparing the trajectory to Christian McCaffrey’s growth from age 20 onward. Round 2, Pick 49 — Lee Hunter, DT, Texas Tech     •    JJ: Panthers traded up from 51 to 49 (pick swap with Minnesota) to grab Hunter. Played audio from Panthers area scout Kaden McLuhan, who scouted Hunter.     •    Scout Kaden McLuhan (audio): Said Hunter’s size is immediately striking, and that everyone around him spoke glowingly about his character, energy, and love for the game.     •    Luke: Praised Hunter as a massive (6’3”, 320 lbs, ~34” arms) two-gap nose tackle who fits perfectly in the Evero defense. Compared his prospect profile to Akiem Hicks. Said having Derek Brown, Bobby Brown, Derrick Brown, Terson Wharton, and now Hunter creates varied body types that stress offensive linemen.     •    JJ: Noted Hunter ranked third among all prospects in run-stuff rate and sixth in interior pass-rush win rate — addressing a perception that he couldn’t rush the passer. Rounds 3–7 Highlights     •    Luke: Highlighted WR Brazle (3rd round, 6’4”, 437 speed, 1,000+ yards at Tennessee) as the vertical threat the offense needed. Also praised OL Sam Heck (5th round) as a technically sound player whose “short arms” caused him to fall but who has proven himself.     •    Luke: Mentioned CB Will Lee (6’1”, 33” arms) fits the Panthers’ DB prototype — big, long corners.     •    Luke: Praised S/LB hybrid Zaki Wheatley (5th round, 6’3”) as a big nickel similar to Trayvon Merek.     •    Luke: Excited about the linebacker competition between Devin Lloyd, Trevvin Wallace, and Claudin Cherless.     •    JJ: Noted Panthers had the #1 “steal/overreach” rating in the entire draft — drafting players lower than consensus big boards projected. Around the League     •    Luke: Admitted being “a little jealous” that the Miami Dolphins drafted LB Jacob Rodriguez (Luke’s favorite LB in the draft). Has personal connections to Miami’s coaching staff (Jeff Hafley, DC Shawn Dugen — a childhood teammate).     •    Luke: Also noted Miami’s selection of OT/G Kaden Proctor out of Alabama, who will likely move to guard. League Trends — Bigger Tight Ends / 12 & 13 Personnel     •    JJ: Observed the NFL saw its highest run rate in ~11 years (~52%) and a notable pivot toward big blocking tight ends in this draft.     •    Luke: Explained the cyclical nature of NFL offense/defense evolution — as defenses get smaller to match spread offenses, teams counter with bigger personnel (12/13 formations), which then forces defenses to get bigger at the nickel/“big nickel” spot. Called it an ongoing arms race.
