What is the Cam Newton standard?

That's right Dameshek. Grovel for our forgiveness.

I'm glad someone finally pointed out that Luck isn't doing it all alone. The Colts have spent valuable resources (early picks, chunks of cap space) to surround Luck with weapons. Just because they haven't used those picks wisely doesn't mean they weren't trying to do it. 

 

The Panthers, on the other hand, seemingly decided to wait until this past season to finally upgrade Cam's weapons (Benji in the first, Turner in the 3rd), but it's still nothing compared to the resources invested by the Colts to augment Luck's offense.

 

Excellent post. To add, they didn't just bring in just any ole body to help Luck, the often bring in people Luck is comfortable with...his college roommate, his college OC.

 

As to your second part, preach! The Jags in this past draft have tried to do more the help Bortles succeed than the Panthers have done in 4 years.

Did Dameshek mention our best uniforms in the NFL?

Season ticket holder from the beginning, wear my #1 jersey to games, scream my lungs out, and driving the Cam=GOAT bus. He's that good and we all have seen the progression. I even said Cam's passing=MJ's jumper before our head coach said it publicly. It doesn't get loftier but I have logical reasons for believing it and I'm a fan. I don't see the problem.

There is no problem with that. Some people on here are just dicks to people because they think their opinion is worth more than it actually is. I won't name any names because of the new rules here, but I'm pretty sure you can Think About It and figure it out.

I think Bucky hit on what has frustrated Panthers fans for 4 years now. He is held to a higher standard than other QBs.

You look across the stat sheet and advanced statistics there isn't much difference between him and Andrew Luck as a passer, who has become ordained by media and has excuses made for him when he doesn't play well, but they don't give Cam the same benefit of the doubt. That doesn't take into account Cam's rushing ability either.

I can't really say what that standard is because it is always changing. When I think of Cam and the media (and some fans) I think back to the old school "Rowdy" Roddy Piper saying:

"Just when you think you have all the answers, I change the question!"

When drafted I just wanted someone that gave us a chance. Now, fair or not, the GOAT is my standard. To whom much is given, much is expected. So far, I have not been disappointed. He has been to this stage of his career and I fully believe he's on his way.

Man beautiful post

Because he really is THAT talented, and people expect him to be able to take games over by himself and win a game involving 21 other people on his team, by himself. It is like how Lebron was treated before he won a title. It's not hard to see that pound for pound Cam is pretty much the most individually talented player in the league.

 

Yeah, but he still needs other people. Because his HC, and OC, rarely allow him to "take games over by himself", such as last Sunday in choosing to kick the FG.
