When did Cam first give the ball to a kid?

Wasn't this the time that Lafell got mad at him for giving the ball away? He'd already given several away when this happened.

I remember that as well. LaFell wanted to keep a ball but Cam made him give it away. I don't recall the significance of it (it wasn't his first TD or anything), but Cam was like naw go give it away.

 

Which makes me wonder. What balls will be kept during the SB, and which ones will be given away. Will Cam keep his first SB TD ball, or give it away? Same goes with all the other guys. I'm actually quite interested to find out.

I see Cam giving his balls away, wouldn't think bad of anyone that didn't.

Pretty sure it was the longest touchdown pass in the history of the Panthers. 

 

I do think he was giving balls away before that Bucs game in 2011 though. I remember the Panthers opened up minicamp to the public in off season 2012. We got to see rookie Luke Kuechly intercept Cam Newton and take it to the house with Cam running him down. Every time the offense scored in that minicamp they threw the balls into the stands.

Sad things is he's been doing this since he was a rookie and it's taken 5 YEARS for the media to finally notice. They'd much rather talk about his lack of accuracy, his "maturation" (tired of hearing that btw), or showing pics of his outfit during his press conference. 

Would be nice having an experienced writer with more ambition to put our players in positive light unlike most of the ones we have to endure with.

I can't blame him or the players either way.  You don't get many of these but it would make a great story to the fan he gives it to and media.  there's two other options in play as well.  The NFL may want to keep it for Canton, it is Super Bowl 50 afterall, or perhaps the Panthers keep it and auctions them all off while giving the proceeds to charity.  I'm pretty interested to see this as well.  I'm hoping I don't have to wait long to find out.

I think there was audio....I think it was both of their longest TD of their careers.

Cam gave away the ball that tied Steve Young.  Gave away the ones after it.  Not sure he cares about balls.

I'm not sure when it started exactly, but in sure he was doing it his rookie year because I remember he gave away a record setting ball that they then had to get back from the fan and give them something else.

Think it was the TD ball from rushing record for a QB that he gave away

      Redzone Offense vs. KC by drive

      By Icege · Posted

      NFL Pro has the All-22 up already 😄 Going to grab a play or two from each redzone series to put screenshots to. Looks like AT angled his route off to the near pylon rather than the back corner where Bryce was throwing to. I imagine this is something they'll quickly try to figure out with Thielen back from IR. After watching the All-22 again, this was actually a pretty nifty play. I thought it was a TE screen to Tremble because of the way XL charged the DB, but he quickly shed and kept upfield as seen in the second screenshot. This looks like it had multiple layers built into it with AT running the crosser, XL the fade, Tremble to the flat. The progression would call for the play to go to Chuba here as the LB does follow Tremble out into the flat. Ball hits Chuba low and in the hands, but the LB does a good job disrupting the catch.

      The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad
