What is Wrong With Cam Newton and Will He Fix It In the Playoffs?

[PghPanther]

This is going to be ugly but it must be stated.....

Cam's physical abilities are his liability...........he has never matured into a cool, collective and mentally capable QB...............he wears his emotions on his sleeve and is too busy with "posturing" on the field of play rather than focusing on the task at hand.

He is a man child..........who spends more time pouting on the sidelines when the team is down by multiple scores.......rather than in concentrated study of what strategy to implement next and when they are ahead he runs around like a chicken with its head cut off on the sidelines celebrating rather than in concentrated study of what strategy to implement next.

The QB is the leader..........a leader must have a plan..........a strategy in sync with the coaching staff along with how to implement and inspire the team. You do that as a leader with your behavior during the game, especially while on the sidelines... Cam's actions when he is on the sidelines do not demonstrate the behavior of a leader.....

Bottom line............he is not a student of the game.............but a baller only....................not a good approach in the NFL when you are a QB....

Add to this Rivera as a HQ who is another version of John Fox............defense guy good enough to show some success but there will be no rings under his tenure here.....there is a reason why this guy was interviewed as a HQ with 9 other teams prior to the Panthers and was rejected each time...........watch him during the games on the sidelines..........no command..... just arms crossed and deer in the headlight look in his eyes when things don't work out........

Add to that Shula............an underperformer at every level and place he has ever coached who lives in the shadow of his famous father............I was warned about this guy from people in the industry before he ever came to Carolina.

So.........add Rivera, Shula and Cam to the mix and you will get......................no rings.

and don't discount the fact of the recent news of the Panthers are for sale and their future as far has where they play, what they play in....and who will be there or gone is in the back of the minds everyone in this organization right now.

That is reality............and you can ignore reality but that doesn't make it go away.

We do not have a check down offense. 

I broke down the ATL first 6 incompletions to prove it. 

Cam completely ignores the flats, shallow drags, and delayed routes. 

He holds on to the ball and tries to force it up field. 

As I mentioned, just because the few passes we complete happen to be short doesn't mean that is our O or by design. They are by consequence of the D taking away the deep stuff resulting in incompletions and or interceptions. 

We would be a dink and dunk offense IF Cam looked to hit those short routes FIRST and was getting rid of the ball quicker. 

I want our offense to attack the weak parts of the D. 

In the ATL game, the Falcons were completely ignoring the flats, drags, and delayed routes. 

Instead of attacking these, Cam looks deep and tries to force passes into coverage. 

No clue where you are getting these thoughts or impressions. 

 

When does Cam force it up the field? He attempted one pass longer than 30 yards all game. Do you know what up the field means?

 

Cam in those first 8 throws made the right read on 6 of those throws, there was 2 drops and 2 penalties not called. The only flats that was open was on 3rd and long. The Falcons were playing man almost the entire game

 

Let me explain to you one more time in bold letters CAM NEWTON IS NOT A DINK AND DUNK QB. You want to build on offense around Cam’s biggest weakness instead build it around his strength

I freaking can't stand russell wilson but you never see his ball sailing high like cam because he's got pretty footwork and his mechanics are there. He steps into his throws and he is deadly accurate when he's on the run/outside of the pocket.... I think maybe he focused more on his mechanics to make up for his lack of size and physical limitations. Cam is such a freak he has gotten away with with poo mechanics and its catching up with him now. He better learn quick though.

Atta lil boy spend all your worthless time looking up my posts so you can do what you do best(take internet poops). Or better yet, show us the last time you gave any Panther player some type of credit rather than blame them for Cams short comings. Can’t say I’ve ever seen it but I usually just skip past your predictable posts because they no cred or substance.

Got stats to back that up?

Let's look at his completion % for all short, medium, and long passes. 

Pretty sure someone posted this before and his highest completion % was for the short passes. 

This is a false narrative that has circulated. 

Cam is not the most consistent passer and will hit and miss all the passes. Short, medium and long. 

Your thinking is akin to trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. 

Doesn't matter how good of a deep passer Cam is if the D is covering the deep routes. 

You take what the D gives you. This isn't rocket 

[Darvinsun]

This staff and wrs are a joke. We have absolutely nothing but Cam on offense. The underneath stuff is open from time to time but most of the time we are 3rd and long...we have no speed or elusive wr or rb that any team fears. Olsen I believe is a shell of himself. He looks thicker and slower. He was the only player that Cam could depend on. Samuels and Bryd showed some promise but injured. Funchess is just an average wr were ot winning a AN with him as a number 1 bc there is no one opposite or in between him ..he is alone and he isn' t good enough. This has to be a defensive win with Cam sprinkling in some great plays... Armag needs to be active..if Rivera truly wants to win he has to have more options on offense available.I hope Cam will prove all the haters wrong, right now the hands of God need to be guiding and covering Cam to pull this off.

Cam forces it up field most the time. I wasn't talking about any of those plays I outlined. Was in general. And by up the field I just anything med-long. 

Let's go back over those ATL plays. 

1st Play

Inside bunch WR in immediately open in the flats for atleast 5 yards. 

Bad read. Throws it down field to a guy who is covered like glue. 

2nd Play

Bad play design with 2 verticals and nothing shallow over the middle. 

The delayed release at the bottom is open and would be one on one in space. 

The throw to CMC was a tighter window as his defender was right with him. 

I will give Cam a pass on this one as the line breaks down in 2 seconds. 

Ok read given the circumstances. 

3rd Play

Delayed release by CMC is the most open route. 

The slant Cam threw was open but needed better timing. 

Ok read. 

4th Play

The only great play design called in this series. 

Shallow drag is wide open. 

Cam forces it deep to the post with is covered by 2 defenders. 

Bad read. 

5th Play

Left slot WR gets wide open on his curl when the DB bites down on the delayed release route. The out was open but that was a much more difficult pass. 

Ok read. 

6th Play

Pretty bad play design. 

All deep curls with no shallow drag, in, etc to compliment the curls. 

Cam should have hit the far right deep curl as that side had 3 curls compared to the short side which had 1 curl and two DBs to cover it. The delayed release by the HB or TE was open with space to get some YAC. 

Bad read. 

If Cam is unable to hit the flats or anything short he doesn't need to be in the league. Doesn't matter how strong of an arm he has. If the D doesn't respect anything short then the deep routes will be covered and low %. 

I want to have an offense that attacks the weakness of the D. 

Plain and simple. 

Don't care if it's short or deep or pass or run.

“Med long” is not up the field. Up the field was the pass to Funchess which he completed in tight coverage 

 

You do know the first 15 plays of the game are usually pre determined? Those wrong reads are hot reads designed by the coaching staff

 

The first play itself was a short flat route to Mccaffrey that got covered up quickly, the slant your talking about was on the other side of the field, which was Cam 4th option on that play since QB don’t scan from sideline to sideline 

 

Your calling a pass interference a bad read, and dropped ball by Clay a bad read LOL

 Oh and it was 3rd and long on those deep drags and you wanted him to check it down LOL

Do you know how football works?

 

Cam can hit those short passes but not on a consistent basis like a Brees or Brady cause that’s not his strength. You build around your QB strengths not what some random fan in a forum wants. I take it you didn’t see the 2015 season? Or even Cam’s first season? You do know in 2015 we were near the bottom in short passes completed  again, but long passes down field make up for any checkdown miscues.

[Peppers90 NC]

Cam was pretty good at the short game while at Auburn.
