Ron Rivera et al close to ruining Cam Newton


Kevin Greene

Recommended Posts

 It wasn't the offensive lines fault, except the announcers even pointed out he was under pressure, Rivera even said the protection was bad. You have no idea what you're talking about, and probably couldn't coach a Pee Wee football team if you tried.

Cam could've run in those cases many times today. For whatever reason, Cam acted like he forgot how to use his legs. See Russell Wilson today? Under constant pressures and knew how to run tuck the ball and run for it. Cam is just not a smart QB. All the potential in the world, just not very smart.

Did you see Russell Wilson throw a game ending INT in a loss today? I did.

if you think that the reason cam wasn't scrambling was because he "wasn't smart" you're very confused and need to watch the game again.

 

the kind of plays we were calling, combined with the defense Ariz was running, severly limited Cam's ability to run out of the pocket.  Our playcalling did not a single thing to get him into space...

 

We really have trouble making in-game adjustments.  It's painfully obvious.

Stupid. Did you see Cam throw three ints in a blowout loss yesterday? I did.

 

Wait. Is that really your response?

 

You attempt to use Russell Wilson as some lame attempt to validate your drivel about Cam Newton, but clearly you're woefully uninformed about him. I'm going to give you a homework assignment. Research it, and come back when you know what you are talking about.

I'm gonna be honest here, Cam is one of the worst QB in the NFL at decision making. Whether that is smart or not, he's one of the worst at it. I'm sorry if I hurt anyone's feeling. It's the truth.

Really, really tired of the "Cam isn't smart enough/able to read an NFL defense/has low football IQ."

 

It's just not true.

 

Cam makes judgment mistakes, yes.  He's not perfect in that regard.  But he's more than capable.  The things he has done over the last couple years have more than shown he is smart enough to play the game.  The idea that he was just coasting by on physical skills while breaking all these fuging records is ridiculous

 

A lot of the issues today were born out of frustration, lack of adjustments, poor play calling, and yes, some bad plays on Cam's part.  But, he's not the one missing a block at the 2 yard line that leads directly to a safety.  He may be the one underthrowing the crap out of Smitty for an INT, but he also didn't drop that pass in the endzone.

This was a terrible day for player execution.  It was AWFUL.  The players bear a huge amount of burden for this loss.  But you know what else?  We didn't make adjustments, we didn't try anything new, and we just got destroyed in the second half and basically stood there and took it.

How are you defining "decision making" and how many QBs do you actually watch?

 

Cam has a lot of issues that I think he can be coached out of - things like holding the ball too long, or being drawn into locking onto a receiver.  It's not like he is incapable of surveying the field, because he often does so when Smitty isn't an issue.  However, maybe it was being sacked 3 times or whatever in one half, but he certainly got unsettled... and is anyone surprised by that?  Eesh.

Your dumb as fug to use the Wilson's int to argue with what I said. If you watched the game, obviously you didn't and only saw the highlights you'd would've saw That Wilson played a hell of a game. Threw the ball when he had to and ran for multiple first downs when under pressure. Some guys has it and some don't. Cam don't. I know I'm hurting your feelings here but take it in easily. It'll be alright. Good night.

Picks today were more poor throws than poor decisions from what I saw.

 

He does still have legitimate issues with mechanics.

That's why I said I blamed a lot of it to Rivera and the staffs.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
