I have never once said anything negative about Cam Newton, but...

...I'm finally starting to believe he's not the answer at quarterback. Yes, his receivers were awful today, one of their worst performances ever. Yes, the o-line was putrid. But Cam cannot get rid of the ball to save his life. He's always good for at least a couple Clausenesque throws a game, has to lead the league in his career in most picks dropped by defenders because of his rocket arm.

 

I was the one that posted the first big thread about how I wanted Cam before the draft, the first credible poster to do so. And now I'm saying it: Dave Gettleman should not extend Cam's contract and let him go after it expires. I don't see it working here.

 

Oh yeah and fug Ron Rivera. That is all.

Yeah, I'm betting he's holding the ball BECAUSE THE RECEIVERS ARE JUST TOO DAMN OPEN.

 

Yeah, that's the ticket.

Don't agree. We're not letting him play to his strengths and that is coaching.

Did he make mistakes? Yes.

But the only questions i really have about him right now is how much autonomy the coaches are giving him... I don't think he's allowed to audible at all and I don't think they prefer him to make multiple reads. That leads me to question whether it is because he can't do it well or they just won't let him.

    • The Falcons have 2 significant offensive line injuries to start the 2025 season. Right tackle Kaleb Mcgary (who is the blindside protector for Penix since he is left-handed) is going to miss significant time, and it's looking more like it may be all season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-expect-kaleb-mcgary-to-miss-significant-time https://x.com/BKsquared7/status/1959285822236107013. Also, the top backup and swing tackle, Storm Norton (cool name BTW) is having ankle surgery and may miss half the season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-ot-storm-norton-out-6-8-weeks-after-ankle-surgery I don't root for injuries, but its also hard to be too sympathetic given how badly injuries have hit us in recent years. We definitely need to get that W in week 3 for our home opener at BOA. Despite our collective frustration at not being able to attend TC and then having boring preseason games, ultimately the most important objective of the preseason is to enter Week1 healthy, and we have at least done that. Hopefully the depth we think we have at Oline either shines through or isn't needed. Many other teams are in a bad spot with their offensive lines before the season even starts. For once, we aren't in that situation.
    • That roster was billed as a super smart and strong unit for a young QB….until he sucked though.   it didn’t have superstars but it had proven vets that checked well all the safe boxes and it was universally agreed the Panthers were putting him into position to succeed. BY just doesn’t fit a traditional O because he isn’t built like a traditional QB.  And he still doesn’t.   CJ Stroud would have had more success here than Bryce with that cast.   CJ just has the tools that fit the NFL more easily.  Young can find success but I have always argued it would take a Bryce centric plan (which we have never attempted IMO) 
    • looks like the Lions and Bangles should forget about the playoffs, trade everyone they can, and start over.
