I don't think Cam is healthy

[Ja Rhule]

He currently have 25.0 rating against the worst D in NFL.  He never had such an awful rating... ever.  Also, notice how we do not throw deep at all?  All 5-15 yard slants and runs.  We are bashing Shula but I think the play calling is designed to preserve Newton shoulder.

Preserve his shoulder and his life

[therealmjl]

It definitely appears that way.

I was saying the same thing about the playcalling.

While you may be correct, Shula has been a problem through his entire career. Cam has blame, but Shula does too. 

[Kevin Greene]

Cam hasn't been healthy in years.

I think the Panthers as an organization have ruined him.  Ever since he's been here he's been stuck behind terrible offensive lines, offensive coordinators that refuse to coach to his strengths, mediocre players at skill positions.  We could go on and on.

[Xavier]

He's had the worst collection of tackles of any QB in the nfl over his career, and has suffered the most hits of any QB by far

It's not even the physical damage, it's all the blows to the heads and concussions.  You can't suffer that many concussions without early symptoms of CTE

 

Playing QB with Chronic traumatic encephalopathy is quite difficult, I imagine;  blame Dave Gettleman, who never gave him a decent tackle to work with since he forced Jordan Gross into early retirement.

[Paintballr]

Good thing he waited to have surgery so late into the off season...

 

but in all seriousness Shula doesn’t get a pass at all. One deep play with Funch running the route, the play before was a curl route on 2nd and 10 with Stewart at the target. The delay of game that stalled a good drive was because the play call was so late and had to sub the package. 

 

Shula is the worst

Yup

The genius David Gettleman, never realized preventing your franchise QB from developing Chronic traumatic encephalopathy, was a more important priority than drafting 200 defensive tackles, and allowed Cam to get knocked in the head more than any QB in NFL history

I mean his confidence looks shot, his body language is bad, he just doesn't seem to be enjoying himself anymore.

[t96]

We need a new OC possibly HC and honestly possibly a new QB at some point if Shula has already ridden him too hard.

I really would like to say good bye to the Ron Rivera era.  I blame it all on him.  If your OC can't get the plays in on time after 4 years its time to find a new oc.  Howver Rivera didn't do that did he?

[Snake]

I would like to remind everyone who thinks it's Cams fault to remember the pre season when Anderson stalled drives and everyone thought he was poo. It's not the players it's the system. 

[TheRed]

This franchise has consistently lacked the ability to maximize the talents of Cam Newton.

None of this happened overnight.

From JR, to Ron, to Shula, mediocrity just continues to fester. They all want to go down with the ship.
