is something physically wrong with cam newton?

it seems now more than ever, he's underthrowing his receivers.

while this isn't a blatant example, there's been too many examples of the receivers having to turn or stop to catch what should be deep balls. 

"too many examples" lol you mean 2 gifs from training camp.

I don't think anything is wrong with his deep ball. I do think there are a lot of moving parts here. Most notably the fact that they are wearing shoulder pads now, and that's definitely different than throwing with pads off. Secondly, that throw was what I consider to be a high point ball. Allow the receiver to grab it at its highest point. I don't think Cam meant to do that, but him also throwing to Benjamin, Funchess, and Olsen so long; mixed with the fact his receivers are a lot faster, mixed with field conditions could create the perfect storm for that to happen. :) Good day

Curtis looked small last year also, similar to CMC. Hopefully he can take the hits over the middle now and occasionally get schemed open deep similar to how Taylor Gabriel was used with Kyle Shannahan .

He has all the playmaking ability and speed to be a yac monster that Cam sorely needs, but he needs to live up to his potential first.

Jeez last year he practiced with Funchess and Benjamin mostly,.... Samuel was CMac light,... and Byrd was an unknown commodity.

now Samuel looks like a deep guy and there’s Torrey,.. everyone is much faster....

so yeh he held back for years after Steve Smith left except a few times with Ginn.

hes just getting used to using that big arm again.

I'm sure he's not trying to throw his arm out in camp

So you going to blatantly ignore the deep TD passes? Especially the ones to Smith?
