Cam Newton was absolutely fantastic today

Find me one bad pass he threw, MAYBE he missed Byrd deep? (with a guy right in his grill)

Cam and Kamara were the best players on the field today

When will somebody other than Cam be the best player on the field on our offense?

No clue what some people expect. He threw the ball really well today. He can't help that Matt Kalil is a human turnstile, his receivers drop balls, his receivers can't get open, and his OC is a high functioning mentally handicapped person. 

Cam isn't perfect and no player is, but he was the least of our issues today. Now yes, he did play awful last week. No way to sugarcoat it.

Can't argue with this. Unfortunately he was severely let down by many of the players on offense. He had some insane passes under pressure, which hit players (Funchess, Shepard) right in the hands that ended up in drops or going right through. This game, nothing seemed to roll our way. Self inflicted wounds, and then stupid boneheaded stuff. Dropping a punt on the turf, the non-neutral zone infraction, the flop when Pep got tangled up on the sidelines, the Clay fumble, and many more. Saints clearly outplayed us today, but there were so many game-changing plays, it wasn't even funny.

Yeah, from what I saw Cam did well. Might have had a play or two that I questioned what he did (sliding down for sack instead of throwing the ball away) but overall good showing from him. This game is heavily on the coaching. Ron and the rest of the coaches did not have this team prepared how much of an important game this was. He viewed it as just any other game and it showed in the team's preparedness. Anytime the defense did well the offense floundered and vice versa. On the offense about the only people I can give credit to are Cam and surprisingly Bersin. I do give a shout out to Byrd for what plays we actually used him on since he actually got separation (pressure screwed that one up) and yards (on the 3rd and 17 short pass).

It really sucks That Olsen was out. What are the odds that he felt good enough through practice to play in the Jets game only to have to come out after like 5 plays due to it acting up again. We should have held him out the extra week because we sure could have used him today.

Have to agree, Cam was throwing accurate missiles today. My 49er friend, who always criticizes Cam’s accuracy, was even impressed today. 

 

Defense and coaching poo the bed. Nothing looked any different defensively than our first match up, so of course Brees took what he wanted all game. The Saints are the only team I had no confidence in us beating this year. If we can avoid them in the playoffs, I still like our chances of winning it all.

      Agreed on the last part. They can’t afford to lose all these games with Martin and Perets.

      Serious Thoughts Fellas What numbers would Bryce..

      Yes.  And this converts directly to confidence.  Does the coach have confidence to call a deep dig or seam route?  Does Bryce have confidence in his ability to be the Alpha?  Do his teammates have confidence.  About film--when I see Cam Newton's pre-snap confidence vs. Bryce's, it is night and day.   Film--tells you if the WRs are open (why l love watching the Replay telecasts from the end zone cameras--you can see it.  I have seen 2 WRs open and Bryce's eyes are on the outlet WR or the pass rush. )  You can see progressions, and he has improved a bit--but he is very quick to rush through 1 and 2 and checkdown--that is a lack of confidence in his ability to read the defense.  I had a former NFL TE (Deems Maye) who played QB in high school (not sure about college) tell me that the best QBs read the defense by knowing where everyone will be when the ball is to arrive--not where they are.  I think his QB at the time was Humphries.  He said that Humphries would throw the ball into coverage before the cuts etc.  because he understood DB momentum, zone areas, etc.  and he could just see it.  Said so when people say nobody was open, they are usually right because nobody should be "open" when the QB has the ball--when the ball arrives, everyone should be open.  He said Humphries was never "great" but his skills were limited--from a small school--but his ability to read a defense made him never give up on a route.
