Cameron Newton, 11/28, 168 , 39% completion rate. Is this the worst passing game of his professional career?

2014 against the Saints he went 10/28 which is 35.71%. No TD and a pick. Ran one in though.

Last year against the Chargers he went 10/27 which is 37.04% with 1 TD and pick.

that means the 2014 game was worse. He ran one in this game too but didnt throw an int. AND its a lower percentage. case closed I suppose

but this game is very close to that level. He only completed 1 more pass lol. But to be fair I dont remember the exact throws in that game and I do know this game, Funchess had 2 huge drops, Cams should at least been 13/28 instead of a 11/28

Newton posted a 59.8 NFL passer rating against the Jets.  This was only the 14th worst game of his career as a passer. 

He has actually been worse 3 times this season:

43.7 against New Orleans.

48.5 against Philly

54.9 against Chicago

Cam came into the Jet game as the NFL's 24th leading passer.

When the stats are released after the Monday Night game, he will probably rank 25th or 26th.

Am I the only one who doesn't care about individual stats? Maybe it's because I don't play fantasy, but I get excited or aggravated based on overall unit play. Yesterday I was getting flustered with the whole team because there seemed to be a real lack of focus or drive. Defense and offense seemed to both be giving up and it felt like a lost game. 

 

To to the end the defense came alive and I could see the Panthers start to feed off each other and get the close win.

offense never really seemed to reach that point other than McCaffery who was exciting to watch. There were WAY too many QB sneaks for my liking and play calling was either shitty or player execution was shitting, or both.

but at the end of the game I'm just happy they won and the saints lost.

Yea he wasn’t good yesterday. Some games where the worthless qb rating stat says he was worse was really just the result of bad oline, bad play calling, wrs dropping passes, etc but Cam actually played as well as one could hope in his circumstances. Yesterday he was just pretty bad. It’s ok, qbs can have bad games too. I’m sure he’ll rebound quickly. I expect next week to be much better with the NFCS pretty much on the line in that game.

I thought he was going to be ok judging by how he started. You can normally tell what Cam you will get that day judging by how accurate he is with his first few passes. He looked solid on the first drive....not so much afterwards.

I'm going to chalk this one up to his thumb. You could tell he didn't have the same zip on the ball yesterday.

It was bad, but Cam has at least 2 clunkers like this one every season.  It is one of those things we just have to accept because when the time comes, Cam will get hot and when he gets hot, he is as good as anyone.

It's time to unleash his running ability next week though.  We need at least one drive where Cam carries the ball for the majority of it.  It would be a nice tone-setter and keep the Saints honest for the rest of the game.

    • With Morgan, I see a plan. No, you don't measure the GM at this point in terms of wins and losses--but we will later.  I thought Hurney sucked in free agency and was sub par after round 1 of the draft.  When Fox was a lame duck and did not inform the GM, Hurney drafted Jimmy Clausen and moved up for Armanti Edwards. He started trading away future first rounders when he got desperate (to get Otah and then drafted Everette Brown the following year)  Gettlemen was the "one-year contract" guy.  The players hated him.  Fitterer was terrible.    It is too early to tell with Morgan, so you have to look at the pieces.  Our OL was bad, now our OL is good.  WR was a weakness--now WR seems to be a strength.  DL was bad, now DL should be very good.  Pass rush was bad, we have 2 solid rookies and added Wonnum and Jones.  I think Morgan has had 2 solid drafts, especially in rounds 3-7.  He has had 2 good seasons bringing in UDFAs, imo.  The team went from terrible in 2024 to taking the two super bowl teams down to the wire late.  The energy is positive.  The wins will come.  
    • https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2025/06/04/panthers-2025-otas-dave-canales-cornerback-free-agency/84016482007/?link_source=ta_first_comment&taid=6840193aa1ae9c000185ac12 I have been curious about the position, wondering if Jackson, Horn, and Smith-Wade were going to be enough. The reporter asks a good question, especially in light of all the Jalen Ramsey rumors.  To me, the big questions concerned depth players Evans and Bartholomew.  As for the UDFA, I have been waiting to hear about Thornton and Reid, but there does not seem to have been a lot of urgency to draft a CB or bring in a free agent.  Morgan basically re-signed Jackson and locked up Horn.  A few highlights from the article: Canales mentioned Evans, Bartholomew, and Thornton by name.  He seems satisfied that Evans and Bartholomew are the key reserves.  Thornton, based on reading tea leaves about his comments, has flashed, but might be on the outside looking in.  Personally, in the limited action Evans and Bartholomew played last season, I was optimistic, and it seems Canales feels the same. He mentions that Smith-Wade is playing inside and outside.  If he steps up, that is good news.  It seems as though they really like Jackson because Canales seemed to focus on CB depth in his answer.  Coaches have to be careful answering questions like this one--If the coach mentions your name, great, but if he does not, it hurts morale.  If he says, "We'd like to upgrade the position" it can also hinder motivation.   Canales did not mention SDSU CB Mike Reid. IN RELATED NEWS I recently read that the Canales likes the battle between Ransom and Richardson for the other safety position beside Moehrig.  Not sure we will be upgrading that position at this time. Remember, the DBs play better when the front 7 plays better. PROJECTED DB ROSTER ENTERING CAMP CB: Horn, Jackson, Smith-Wade, Bartholomew, Evans--Practice Squad Candidates:  Thornton, Reid S: Moehrig, Ransom, Richardson, xxxxxx- I expect Henderson, Gifford, or Thomas (all UDFAs) will battle Scott for the final safety position.
