On October 6, after Cam Newton threw three interceptions, fumbled and was sacked seven times in Arizona and the Panthers lost, 22-6, Rodney Harrison popped off on NBC about how it was time for Carolina to bench Cam Newton. There was little or no context, just another talking head going knee-jerk based on a 60-minute performance.

[Aside: What did Harrison say about Matt Ryan, who threw 61 passes and was intercepted four times in Arizona Sunday? Nothing.]

Two weeks prior, Newton was effective in beating the Giants handily at home (15-of-27, 223 yards, three TDs, one interception, one rushing TD).

Here’s what Newton has done since the disaster in the desert:

* Three straight games completing 70% or more passes
* 6 TDs passing, 0 interceptions
* 2 TDs rushing, 0 fumbles

I don't get how some players are allowed to have bad games and others aren't. Throw Cam out the window. Andy Dalton has a rough night last night and this morning all you hear is how he isn't the answer in Cincy. But Matt Ryan can have 4, and 5 interception games and nobody says a word. Same thing with Drew Brees. RG3 is playing like hot garbage and it's gone from he gets a pass for the first few weeks to he gets a pass this year. I just don't get it. All offseason we heard about all in for week one and how he was ready to play and how he was super human and now he gets a pass. If you are not a "chosen one" they will tear you down no matter how well you play. If you are then they will make excuses for you. Quarterbacks have bad games.

Harrison hates the panthers as a whole I think...isn't he the one that belittled our win against the Vikings too?

 

Could have something to do with what Jake Delhomme said to him after throwing that 85 yard touchdown to Moose in the Super Bowl.

 

Radio guys asked him what he said.  Delhomme replied "I think I just asked him how his mother was doing" :lol:

 

For the record, Harrison was a regular contender for the annual "Dirtiest Player in the League" title (voted on by players).  Pretty sure he won it at least once.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      By TD alt · Posted

      I've really only begun to pay attention this week being that training camp is looming, so I was personally caught off guard by the fact that Nic Scourton remains unsigned. That's not necessarily bad news, but it's not necessarily good news either. Apparently it's a thing with this year's draft class. "Of the 32 players selected in the second-round, 30 remained unsigned and the clock is ticking. "Already we've seen one second-round pick hold out from the start of training camp with that player being Los Angeles Chargers' wide receiver Tre Harris. Harris did not report with the rest of the Chargers' rookies on Saturday due to his contract situation, a issue that could impact nearly every other team in the league. "For the Panthers, defensive end Nic Scourton is the player to watch for when rookies start showing back up to the team facilities next week. "The 51st overall pick is one of the 30 second-rounders who has yet to sign their rookie contract and the reason why is due to the other two that have actually signed. "Cleveland Browns' linebacker Carson Schwesinger and Houston Texans' wide receiver Jayden Higgins each signed fully guaranteed contracts as the first and second players drafted in the second-round. Prior to this year, second-round picks never received a fully guaranteed deal, only players selected in the first-round." https://atozsports.com/nfl/carolina-panthers-news/panthers-nic-scourton-contract-second-round-pick-training-camp-hold-out-tre-harris/ So, I suppose we'll see what's what pretty soon. It's definitely something to monitor.

      Teddy Checkdown in trouble

      overwhelming majority of kids in travel ball aren't getting scholarships though because most teams are rec caliber (and not watched by scouts)    and parents/leagues sort of helped create this system and narrative IMO where travel ball is now oversaturated and most of it is simply expensive rec ball.  is travel beneficial for some athletes to get more exposure? Sure. The ones travel actually existed for.   I still think travel has expanded entirely too broad at this stage......where they will now have 5 teams per year in your backyard area pending they can get parents to write those checks.   Ain't no scout ever laying eyes on 90%+ of the kids in travel ball at this stage of where it has morphed into.
