Whatever works

From the ESPN Power Rankings-

 

 

Cam Newton completed a career-high 85.7 percent of passes within 10 yards downfield against the Vikings,

 

If dink-and-dunk gives Cam time behind our O-line,  Dooo eeeet.

Wow, you mean plays that don't take 5 seconds to develop are better behind a questionable O-Line?

 

 

Who woulda thunk it. Its not like so many of us have been saying this for weeks.

Great news. Those are the throws Cam has struggled to make at times.

As long as he doesn't "press" and hold the ball waiting for receivers he will have those dump offs all day.

This. It shows he is improving.

Exactly. People wondering why Cam was holding the ball so long was because of how long the routes were.

If cam learns to break defenses with the dink and dunk game consistently... Its a wrap. MVP fo sure

[Awesomeness!!]

But...but...towels and sad faces..

Despite that Arizona game, Cam has truly shown growth as a passer this season. You won't hear opposing fans or ESPN say it but Newton (who entered the league raw as hell) is far ahead of RG3 and Kaepernick in development. I'd only rank Luck ahead of him by the slightest margin. Incidentally, I find it strange that Indianapolis' coaching staff doesn't fully trust Luck.

 

I would honestly put Russel Wilson may ahead of Cam and Luck. RW reminds me of Brady back in the day. The numbers don't jump out at you, but he puts his team in position to win by playing smart and giving what the D takes him. Nobody else does that imo

No it shows the coaching staff is clueless. Something as simple as a check down made Joe Flacco a highly paid man.

Most don't want to admit it, but at least for one week...wait for it...Shula showed growth.  The offensive game plan was A+.  I have watched the game 3 times now and trust me, that ain't the Shula game plan from the first 4 games.  Who knows what we get this week but, for one shinning moment, the boy called the game of his life.
