Ferrari QB used like a '85 Camry

what escapes these people is that it's not just a matter of raw measurables.

this line of thinking is how you get people arguing that andrew luck would be just as much of a threat on the ground as cam but he chooses to be a pocket passer because he's more "cerebral" or whatever. it's understandable why someone would think that but it doesn't hold up well if you actually watch them play.

Luck is the same size as Cam, and has the same straight line speed, but he has the mobility of a rock compared to Cam. Luck doesn't have Cam's rushing stats the same reason Tom Brady doesn't; they can't run the football.

Not even Michael Vick had Cam's ability as a runner.

Except Kallil gave up more sacks than him.

I was surprised how many of our key players struggled.. Kalil, Kuechly, CJ, and TD (that one probably shocked me the most)

 

Excellent coaching by the Steelers even if they had two weeks to prepare for us.

Big ben is the same type of QB as cam. If anything Cam is more athletic. Big Ben takes a lot of sacks too and gets hit a lot.

Difference is Big ben has better pocket awarness. He slides around, pump fakes, steps up etc ... instead of panicking and bailing from the pocket at the 1st sign of pressure. That's what cam is missing from his game. He's been more accurate this year. We need a better online of course, but Cam needs to work on pocket awareness

Ben is in his 10th year. You think Big Ben did that early in his career?

Well said, why have a ferrari if your gunna drive it slow? Why have cam newton if your not gunna use him the right way? Look at the 49ers how they use kap , imagine we still used cam the same? We had cam in chud offense lookibg amaxing top 10 offense , no way in hell chud offense was perfect bur it was better then shula we need a more aggressive oc

Cam would leave this team and he a top 5 qb , we just suck at using him , why dident we keep smitty? Him and damn k.b would be the ultimate combo but gettleman being a yankee thinks he knows everything

Can we get some more car metaphors please

This. Cam is starting to show the effects of being the most hit QB in the NFL since he entered the league. We've been using our Ferrari in demolition derbies for too long. I just hope he hasn't and won't developed some injuries that are going to linger down the road.

Give the guy some weapons and see what happens. Start treating him like ur Franchise QB and preserve him. 4 seasons of playing with what he has isn't showing u want to keep him.

Front Office should be charged with intent to cause bodily harm for putting Cam behind Byron Bell 

while yes, but truth was that most of the pressure Cam has faced in his first two games was coming up the middle.
