Loyal Cam Newton apologists have to be running out of patience. The Panthers didn't do a good job putting a proper offense around the quarterback in the offseason, but Newton -- now in his third season -- continues to be an enigma. Accuracy remains an issue, and his 79.2 passer rating ranks him directly beneath rookies Geno Smith and EJ Manuel. Newton is supposed to be lifting the Panthers. Instead, he played down to his team's mediocre level.

The article included Andy Dalton, but not Kaepernick? It certainly isn't his play that has gotten SanFran their wins.

No Matt Ryan for his red zone issues? More lazy "journalism". Gotta keep the web hits coming....

 

 

Colleague Chris Wesseling put it best when he established After Dalton, or A.D., a quarterback scale in which Dalton sits exactly in the middle. Any player before Dalton is a viable franchise quarterback, any quarterback below him is a problem, not a solution. Dalton lives in quarterback purgatory.

People are calling for Andy Dalton's head in Cincinnati.

 

Not fair. It must be because he is a red head.

 

Andy Dalton is a 3rd year player with a career passer rating of 83.8 and a career TD/ INT ratio of 52/34

Cam Newton is a 3rd year player with a career passer rating of 84.5 and a career TD/INT ratio of 46/34

 

This season Dalton is 19th in NFL passer rating.

This season Newton is 25th in NFL passer rating.

 

See how it works, folks???

We really need to point out that his passer rating is way off because of the damn Arizona game. Before that he had the same exact passer rating as Andrew Luck. One game this early in the season will make it dip. He was actually having a better season passer rating wise than his first two seasons.

      I think Canales goes before Young in that scenario.

      Joe Person: Panthers are NOT expected to extend Bryce Young before the 2026 season

      But that's the point, if the locker room feels that way, then you're going to upset them by still keeping Bryce around and playing him over the Top 10 pick, as opposed to bringing in a vet to start until the rookie is ready. Again, it goes one of 3 ways... 1. Bryce plays well enough to earn an extension 2. Bryce still sucks and we draft his replacement who starts Week 1 with a new QB as his backup 3. Bryce still sucks, we draft his replacement in the 1st, but they start the season backing up a new vet QB who was brought in to be his mentor. With an OUTSIDE chance at a 4th option where Bryce plays well enough to convince the team to let him play out the 5th year option and then make a decision.  Which I can't see it happening, but there is still a non zero chance of that happening I guess. The only way we draft a QB next year and still have Bryce on the roster, is if we're taking someone in the middle rounds hoping to develop them as a long term backup to Bryce.

      I hear you. But I am not absolving Legette just because he is from my neck of the woods or anything else.  Tge comment was more about the fans uneven application of blame.  I do agree that there is a noticeable disconnect between him and the QB and that he might do better with a more polished and capable delivery man.  Abd don’t feel that they used XL right, or at least how I expected it to look.  And that could be a function of a reticent WB that shies away from that style of attack. I mean it was either him or Canales that pretty much eliminated downfield from the playbook - even while we see guys running free at times. It Could work if they commit to it.  Whoever isn’t committing.
