If you look at a guy like Cutler who throws the ball on a line 40 yards down field and then see Jake's wounded duck fluttering through the air and going 10 yards past the closest guy on our team then you know something is not right. He has no accuracy and little arm strength. I think that has been the biggest hinderance to our passing game. Every single pass he throws is overthrown by a mile or he gives away his target with his eyes. 10 picks through 5 games is unacceptable at any level let alone the NFL.

Do you guys ever watch the games. When he is throwing deep most of the time he is under pressure and is throwing the ball much sooner than he would like. The ball is lofting because he has to throw off his back foot which naturally makes the ball drift. Why is he throwing off his back foot? He can't step up in the pocket because all the pressure is coming up the middle.

So what does he do? Lofts the ball up and makes sure it isn't underthrown so if Smitty or Moose don't catch no one else does. He tried the comeback route and underthrown over the shoulder passes which worked in year's past. So far they have resulted in interceptions. Frankly I don't blame him.

      Cam Newton says being "erased" by panthers has hurt his feelings..

      By d-dave · Posted

      If Cam is done, he just needs to retire.  Even on that episode of the podcast, he said he would never play again, but he's not going to "retire."  OK.   I think it's stupid.  Cam Newton is the best player in Panthers history.  He made us relevant.  He was polarizing, but you can't deny that Cam changed the course for the Panthers.  He needs to have a sit down with Tepper, clear the air, and Cam needs to sign his retirement.  Then the Panthers make it one for the ages and make it a city wide celebration of everything Cam has done on and off the field.

      The retirement thing is just a convenient excuse from Tepper. I'm sure if the team was trying to bring him on officially he would do it in a heartbeat and the league wouldn't bat an eye at it. He's not getting any other calls and we know there's a direct line of communication. You telling me no other team has put up a photo of an active player who left? I have a hard time believing the league would flag a MVP display, literal team history, as tampering. Moving on from JR is clearly bull too when we're parading Luke and Smitty around. It's Cam. Tepper knows that if Cam is brought on in any capacity, as long as he looks athletic to the average fan there's going to pressure to put him in when we're struggling at QB. They've decided he's not worth that but I think is a huge mistake. The organization stands to lose more burning this bridge than he does.

      I've been here through it all my friend. So when I say I've seen how this turns out folks really should listen. But they won't. So I continue to be entertained by fair weather fans that talk down to me as if I don't know squat. That's fine. Their in for some painful reality checks.
