Cam Tonight

[UKPanther94]

Unfortunately while he's banged up, our dual threat quarterback is only a pocket passer which reduces his effect and teams will pick up on that, especially if our RB's are all down that's our running game totally wiped out

The eagerness that some of you have to criticize Cam Newton is disturbing. 

 

I don't get it.  He is still a young QB.  I disagree with some of you, I feel like he has gotten better every year, he is hurt with broken ribs and a surgically repaired ankle that isn't 100%. 

 

And he is playing well despite holding penalties and constant pressure.  Sure some of his sacks may come from him holding the ball too long, but sometimes you are going to get fooled by the defense, and sometimes guys just aren't going to get open.   Plus, usually he is even more dangerous when the play breaks down.

 

Just enjoy this 25 year old special QB and be glad he is on your team

I'm still confused on these high throws ppl are talking about. Yea, he throws it high at times but so does every QB in the league! Yesterday, I saw Peyton throw atleast 3-4 high balls. And even with those high throws, Cam still completed 70% of his passes! He's going to finish this year throwing at a career best rate somewhere between 64-70%. Now, there are times when Cam holds onto the ball too long, and I do believe Cam needs to throw the ball away at times. Some of you will never be satisfied with Cam. He's gone out there and improved his passing each year.

It's hard watching Cam out there now, because he's getting beat up and he's not able to escape pressure because of his injuries.

90% of this board only watches Panthers games, yet will argue all day about Cam and how he stacks up against other QB's and talk about how Cam does this wrong or that when they have absolutely no clue.

Peyton throws into triple coverage with a clean pocket with 3 minutes left and throws an INT. Could you imagine if Cam did that?

[Kakarot]

Also, I love KB but he has to cut down on some of his drops. He should've had 2 TDs last night. He misjumped one play, but even with the misjump, he still got his hands on the ball and should've came down with the catch. He also dropped 1-2 more passes; one of those on the FG drive. We needed a TD there. Not worried about him, though. He'll get it together.

The offense wasn't that bad. You guys need to learn how to watch football games. The key is to look for what mistake was made and at what crucial that mistake was made. Cam didn't know what lineman was going to screw up last. They took turn. From Kalil to Silatolu, to Bell. Even that was manageable and they got the game to a 10 point deficit with 12 minutes left and possession. And the the 2 mistakes came, the Brown fumble and the MLB giving up that 80 yard run.

Cam and the receiving corp came to play last night. Even the statistic can tell you that. Can't expect Cam to win every game with a run.

I'm not saying how horrible our offense was or that I'm expecting Cam to win us the game. I am pointing out just how much his injuries are affecting his play because had he been 100% we would've scored more and earlier, sustaining drives giving our D fresh legs.

Aggie you have to understand, these posters doesn't watch other football teams and games

 

Their complaints is really big in their head, but its really small in the NFL. Imagine if Cam was throwing INT as much as some others. This place would explode

[Happy Panther]

Cam looks banged up and seemed to be grimacing the entire game. Are we going to see him sit out some more games this year?

[UKPanther94]

 

This fan-base doesn't even understand the fact that we're building a powerhouse here that can soon reach the level Seattle and competitive enough to garner overreaction when they lose. We're just one good draft away from stage.

 

As soon as we're able to invest in an actual O-line and protection for Cam, starting the next off season, we are going to be a phenomenally good team

[CatMan72]

I was worried about how our line would cope with a 3-4 defense... my fears came true. Cam played about as good as you can expect under the conditions.

[The NFL Shield At Midfield]

cam is playing pretty damn well all things considered

 

like why is this even up for debate

[t96]

This is not how the game is played, my man! That's not the way it works. Last showed that Cam made great strides in the passing game and the offense can move the ball when it wants to. It's not a 'what can Cam do for you' team. When you give up TDs while you're in possession of the football it's difficult to win. We scored a TD easily and the D gave us the ball back again. We were moving the ball easily. It's not about Cam scoring early or late.

You have to analyze it on game by game, possession by possession, not what Cam could have done. Only kids view things like that.

You are ridiculously slow. This is a thread about Cam's performance, which, like every single aspect of our team, can be analyzed and critiqued. It's not what Cam "COULD'VE" done it's what Cam "WOULD'VE" done had he been 100%. It's clear as day that his injuries are affecting his play.

[Cj72]

I'm thinking it's probably best to roll with da for a game or 2 at least. Cam is obviously limited by his injuries and it is probably best to get him healthy. He cant escape pressure and if he keeps getting hit 85 times a game he will not make it through the season.

[*FreeFua*]

It's amazing Cam does what he does with what he's been given. That's how you know this guy is going to be great.

LaFell was Cam's second WR last year and managed to go 12-4. How's Brady doing with Lafell????
