Don't you hate when Cam overthrows a WR deep on 3rd and short

He had more bad throws that game as well. The issue is most on this board only watch Panthers games. Every game you can give example after example of elite QB's making bad throws but for some reason these people hold Cam to a higher standard.

He overthrew the same route on the down before that on 2nd and two. They went for it on 4rth down and got it. Cam is inconsistent, but a large part of that is inconsistent play around him.

This is fantastic logic Boogie.

While your at it why don't you watch The Chargers game from this weekend? Rivers has an O-line that's as bad as ours and 1 decent receiver and 1 decent receiving tight end. He still pulled a win out of his ass in that one game. 

 

I guess what your saying then is that Cam is on a par with Peyton but worse then Rivers? 

 

Bravo.

Tom Brady against GB overthrew an open receiver across the middle of the field by about 20 yards and then later short hopped a pass on a quick out without any pressure on either throw.

 

It isn't saying that Cam is as good as Brady or Manning.  It is showing that bad passes are part of playing QB, and Cam normally is no worse or better than most QBs

 

 

I have never in my life seen a QB so closely scrutinized by a fanbase on a pass to pass basis than Cam Newton.

Not saying Cam hasn't had check down opportunities because he has, that last game was the most checkdowns he's thrown all season. The problem is these down field slow developing routes Shula dials up. Shula Rarely calls routes over the middle of the field, seems like these routes are always to the sidelines.

This is part of his philosophy.

 

Remember, Shula's entire ideas of calling plays comes from the old days of the NFL. There were no timing, no 5/7 drop stick routes, no seams. You couldn't throw over the middle because A.) offenses weren't yet sophisticated enough and B.) safeties were allowed to commit murder on the field.

 

So you stuck to sideline throws, post routes in favorable situations (3rd and short), tight end curls etc. 

 

When you watch the Panthers now, you're literally watching an offense from about 20 years ago. 

 

Here is the 1996 NFC Championship game. The Panthers oc at the time was Joe Pendry, who retired in 2010 after serving as an assistant at Alabama. 

 

 

This is the offense the Panthers are running, with the exception of some single wing/option plays that I really don't think Shula fully understands. Just look at Willie Green and Mark Carrier running the same routes (and about as fast) as Cotchery.

    • I don't think Rodgers but probably not for the political reasons I bet a lot of posters are motivated by. I just think he is not the QB for the Panthers, at all. 
    • Sun Devils just scored another TD on BYU, 14-0
    • It wasn't great but  the 2022 NYG won 9 of 16 games plus a playoff game. He had a 92.5 passer rating. 15 pass TDs 3200 yards, 7 rushing TD, 700 yards 6 fumbles 3 lost.  His first season he had 18 fumbles lost 11. Wow.  Anyhow he had problems in 2023 with injuries and didn't win poo before tearing his ACL. This year, no Barkley, not good, but you know.... these ACLs take a while and it was right and he throws right so pushes off of it.  I agree it doesn't hurt to let that guy compete cheap. You don't hand him the job like with Bryce or NYG with him.  When I look at what we have been saddled with, he doesn't look worse and has the physical advantage. So I don't get the umbrage given our situation. This "No we won't settle for anything less that the best" attitude and then taking Bryce Young was pathetic and I think that attitude brought us to where we are. That's where that poo gets you. Away from Mayfield, away from Darnold, even away from PJ - just to replace them with an inferior PJ.  At the same time I am not really advocating for the guy just looking at it objectively. It could be another guy with the same story. And yes the odds of him getting it are low but the numbers and performance from 2022 are for sure better than we see with Bryce even after a season of major propping him up with better players around him. Take a look don't take a look he fails or he doesn't fail...   to instead sit here and be happier with what we have is bullshit.
