On Cam Newton's Playing Status...

You could hold him out and then he blows a knee out the next game.

Better QBs than Cam have played with comparable injuries.....so have lesser QBs. If he can play, he should. If he can't make the throws he shouldn't. I don't support holding him if he could suck it up

Yea or you could cost yourself a franchise QB by starting him when he is injured. Sorry but its not a JAG behind Cam. Anderson can win a game for us if we need him too. I just rather it be the fewer the better.

As I said, better QBs than Cam have done it. They could of cost themselves a lock HOFer. But it's football so he played.

The longer Anderson goes without seeing the field the better he gets in people's minds.

Yeah, I agree with this. Look, I'm glad the staff thinks Anderson can win the game if needed and that's he's a capable backup. But it's like the Bucs and McCown. I'd be very happy to have a competent backup like Anderson or McCown going into a game in case something happens mid-game and we need them to finish out.

 

I am not comfortable with Anderson as the primary option, however. He's a backup for a reason.

    • Agreed on the last part. They can’t afford to lose all these games with Martin and Perets. 
    • Yes.  And this converts directly to confidence.  Does the coach have confidence to call a deep dig or seam route?  Does Bryce have confidence in his ability to be the Alpha?  Do his teammates have confidence.  About film--when I see Cam Newton's pre-snap confidence vs. Bryce's, it is night and day.   Film--tells you if the WRs are open (why l love watching the Replay telecasts from the end zone cameras--you can see it.  I have seen 2 WRs open and Bryce's eyes are on the outlet WR or the pass rush. )  You can see progressions, and he has improved a bit--but he is very quick to rush through 1 and 2 and checkdown--that is a lack of confidence in his ability to read the defense.  I had a former NFL TE (Deems Maye) who played QB in high school (not sure about college) tell me that the best QBs read the defense by knowing where everyone will be when the ball is to arrive--not where they are.  I think his QB at the time was Humphries.  He said that Humphries would throw the ball into coverage before the cuts etc.  because he understood DB momentum, zone areas, etc.  and he could just see it.  Said so when people say nobody was open, they are usually right because nobody should be "open" when the QB has the ball--when the ball arrives, everyone should be open.  He said Humphries was never "great" but his skills were limited--from a small school--but his ability to read a defense made him never give up on a route.
