Lean, mean, running machine

Cam Newton will win a Superbowl for the Panthers.

Psssst....he still only 28 years old.

If the weight loss does help bring back his lost speed (which it should), that will be a very scary thing for defenses...well, we already will be scary, but this will take us to another level.  Cam has always been extremely dangerous, even when defenses are able to put most of their focus on containing him.  But assuming CMC and Samuel are as advertised, teams will no longer have enough resources to dedicate to stopping him. 

The LB's and Safeties that teams used to spy on Cam will now have to account for the new guys, and that will free up running lanes from the pocket that have not been there the last couple of years.  So with Cam's returned explosiveness, he should be able to take advantage these running lanes which will lead to more big runs from him than we've seen for quite some time.  And as the cycle goes, his running ability should open things up even more for the other guys.  This truly does have the potential to be a "pick your poison" offense.

I just hope this improves his movement within the pocket. I feel all QB's get sacked, but let our oline be the reason he doesn't go down, not Cam skill

That's exactly what I meant when I said I hope he worked like a mad man on his footwork. He doesn't need to get any better at running the ball, he just needs to get better at avoiding sacks and getting his feet under him when he throws. There are slower QB's than  him who can do it because of footwork alone.

I wonder if one of Hurney's suggested position switches was Cam to TE?

The same guy that set us up for a 2-14 season.

He did some good and bad, but his guys have still been carrying this team. Can't take that from him

I'm not. This isn't a bash Hurney thread...this is a "THATS MY QB thread"

Footwork is an issue for most QBs. Even those with the best footwork, are the one whom spend the most time on it. They got to want to. 

Pretty sure this isn't exclusive to football.
