Cam's continuing maturation

A little while ago I did a thread comparing Cam's throwing mechanics to that of Johnny Unitas.  With this thread I'm going to compare Cam's maturation to another great QB.  Roger Staubach.

 

 

Early on in Staubach's career, he wasn't a very polished passer.  He played his college ball with Navy, and they didn't throw the ball much.  In fact, even to this day they still run the ball just about every play.  Early on Roger's strength was his running ability, and that was what he leaned on in his primitive years in the NFL.  Here's a little snippet I've found on youtube showing some of his escapability...

I'll also say there's been a lot of dropped passes in this season.  Smitty is not what he used to be, Olsen dropped a few, and the other guys are serviceable.  We'll get Cam some help as time goes along, but I imagine the guys we have now will improve their play.  I would also like to see Tedd Ginn on offense a lot more.  He's clearly our deep threat right now.

What I would like to see is a Cam Newton with good interior pass protection. As with any QB, the best way to throw them off their rhythm to get interior pressure, this is magnified with Cam because of his youth and the fact that his footwork coming into the league was the number one area of work. (not any of the ridiculous fabricated Nawrocki crap that sheep today still try to peg on him)

he's such a tremendous QB and when I think of the room for growth including in that area and how he could perform with said interior protection then im really, really stoked

I frankly dont care about how hard he throws the ball. If we were talking about him rocketing balls on screens and such it'd be one thing but we're talking about guys dropping balls that hit them in the stomach on deep crossers and comebacks.

I'd like to see Shula get back to using more of the short game. we havent the past couple weeks and the offense has suffered because of it.

      The Panthers win streak is masking substandard quarterback play

      By Diehardpanth02 · Posted

      He’s been every bit as much of the problem as anyone else. You cant remove him from that fact, he is just as much part of the team and in THE most important position on the field. But this is the first season he’s seen any kind of continuity in his team and coaches. And he’s shown flashes here and there. But we do need more out of him going forward a lot more if we are going to be successful

      Bryce isn’t great and super mid. But I think can be a game manager. What do we think is out there? Daniel Jones isn’t going anywher. Mac Jones? Zach Wilson? Pickett. I’m just not sure what’s out there that is much better without having to give up a ton of capital. Rather take one more step closer to contention with our early rounders next year with FS and LB help. Make this  place where dang they got a defense and a WR1 and solid RB room. I can win with that and want to be here

      Vet QB Options - Trade/Cut/FA Edition

      AR15 is if Justin Fields was fragile and his teammates hated him. No thanks. Ya'll think you hate watching Bryce Young? Wait until your QB can't even complete a 7 yard pass over the middle, which Fields and Richardson can't do. If the draft class was better, I could absolutely see the Titans moving on from Ward already if they got the #1 pick. But so far the college QB's haven't impressed enough. They'll have flashes, but then follow it up with a very meh game. Kyler is already done in Arizona, but he has a ridiculous contract and he's basically Bryce that likes to scramble, so no thanks. If Lawrence can't produce with that team in Jacksonville, what do you think he'll do here? He's tall Bryce who can throw deep but can't make the 4th down throws and crumbles in the red zone. No thanks. I do think Canales wants to move on from Bryce, his body language says so even in wins. He treated Bryce pretty odd this week and Bryce looked checked out in the Packers game. But unless they make another risky trade, its going to be slim pickings. Basically our hopes lie in hitting early in the draft with a Mateer, Nussmeier, Beck type or finding a random backup free agent that has another gear to hit.  I think even with the draft being wishy washy, 4-5 QB's will be taken in the top 7. A lot of teams are just that desperate.
