Where's that trash can from last year?

[CoastalCat]

It's time to put Cam back on the downfield trash can drills.

 

"Newton capitalized on the running lanes left by the Saints' defense. Of his 83 total rushing yards, 69 came before contact; his average of 5.75 yards per rush before contact was a season high. And of his 12 carries, 10 appeared to be designed rushes. Half of those were zone-read plays, during which he amassed 50 yards. Meanwhile, tailback Jonathan Stewart rushed 20 times for 155 yards. In turn, Newton's rushing success set up play-action passing. He completed 9 of 13 such passes for 126 yards and two touchdowns for a 95.5 QBR on those plays. The Saints did not sack him despite blitzing 47.1 percent of the time, the second-highest rate Newton has faced this season. The blitzes were ineffective overall; Newton was pressured on just 14.7 percent of his dropbacks and completed 3 of 4 passes for 32 yards in those situations. His one shortcoming? He was 0-for-6 on passes that traveled 20 yards or more downfield."

Why can't you guys just be happy we have a QB that isn't complete garbage like Geno or griffin or Gabbert, etc

We also have mostly garbage at WR or rookies

His consistency throwing the long ball is the only thing keeping him from being elite in my opinion.

Throw in that performance against the Saints and then add in a deep ball and you easily have a top 5 QB, maybe top 4.

[Shufdog]

0-for-6 on passes that traveled 20 yards or more downfield is sort of a misleading stat, there were some drops by the wide receivers.

 

[Panthro]

He  put a 40 yarder on KB and it went right through his arms.

[Herbert is Sorry]

Dis sum dumb shyt

[TheRed]

He  put a 40 yarder on KB and it went right through his arms.

 

Also, that long pass to Brown in the end zone that went through his hands, I think that was the play he injured his shoulder too.

 

Newton accounted for 4 touchdowns and 309 yards of total offense with a quarterback rating of 114. What are we bitching about again?

[VerticalThreat]

To be fair, Cam dropped one in KB's bucket on Sunday, would've been a ~40 yard completion...

 

I can't find video, but I remember Cam put it right over the top and it went right through his arms.

[Paa Langfart]

Just for once I would like to see the Panthers draft a receiver that can do what receivers are supposed to do - catch the damn ball.  hell even Smitty was hit or miss last year.  the closest thing we have to a clutch receiver is Olsen.

[Darth Biscuit]

Yes.  Cam couldn't have walked out there and put that ball in KB's hands any better...

 

I recall seeing him miss ONE throw that he should have made.  I'm not saying there weren't probably a few others, but he didn't have many glaring mistakes Sunday.  

 

Some people just don't want to see him succeed.

3 of those deep balls were drops. 1 other looked like a miscommunication. Cam is inconsistent on his deep ball, but watch Brady play for a bit and you'll see Cam is every bit as good as him or even better now. Brady has missed wide open guys deep all year long and all last year. Cam's biggest issue in my opinion is his lack of touch. He's for the most part a very accurate passer but the lack of touch can cause guys to drop balls. Like that pick against the Falcons that went off of Greg's hands. Perfectly accurate and should've been caught but with touch he would've easily caught it and never had it bounce off right into the defenders hands.

[Francis J. Underwood]

Dude even Peyton Manning is off on his deep balls at times but you don't hear about fans complaining. You know why? Cause they are so lucky to have him, learn you some gratitude.

This thread belongs in a trashcan.
