ESPN: "Cam Newton is at top of his game"

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton didn't sound like the winning quarterback on Sunday at Bank of America Stadium. 

"I feel like I was erratic on a lot of things, checks, a lot of things,'' he said. 

He later added, "The sad thing about it, I really feel I could have played a little better.'' 

 

It should be noted here these words came from a player who had only two incompletions and compiled a passer rating of 136.3 in a 30-15 win over theSt. Louis Rams

It should be noted that this performance came a week after Newton had only six incompletions with a career-best rating of 143.4 in a 35-10 victory over Minnesota. 

It should be noted Carolina evened its record at 3-3 this deep into a season for the first time under third-year coach Ron Rivera. 

If Newton can do better he should change his name to Peyton Manning, whose best two-week stretch this season had a rating of 135.8 and 146.0 against Oakland and Philadelphia.

It should be noted one of his incompletions was a drop by Steve and the other was a bizarre downfield pass with 10 seconds left in the first half. He could have been perfect.

 

Cam is playing well these past two weeks, he's making smart decisions. Our offense is limited by our protection, we can't go down field the way we would like. That might bite us later in the year but winning with 15 passes is fine by me.

David Newton, not ESPN lol

 

 

I'm assuming that you're being sarcastic SMF, because he's a fuging white dude who was formerly a fuging Nascar Correspondent for ESPN.

 

As to you Chuck.....you're just......special.

This team is gaining steam, fast.

They are playing aggressive, confident, and expect to win.

Dear NFL,

Prepare your anus.

Love,

Cam & friends

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
