Guess who led the Panthers in rushing today...

Cam might not be a perfect QB, but he's a pretty good football player.

lol stop the logic. wont be accepted in this delusional/bipolar board.

I know at least one long run came on a scramble. How many of Cam's 7 rush attempts were called runs versus scrambles?

Cam willed us to victory today, but obviously he’s gonna lead our team in rushing when we run the ball 7 times with our running backs. That’s a stupid stat to hang your hat on...our running backs aren’t getting enough opportunities cause we’ve been playing from behind the last two games and decide to abandon the run game. That’s all on coaching.

That’s like saying “wow CMC is so much better running the ball than CJ Anderson...look how many more rush yards he has on the season!!”. Yeah...obviously....

So stating that Cam was the leading rusher yards wise is dumb even though him and our RB had the same amount of carries and this is supposed to be the same as pointing out McCaffery has more yards than CJ who didn’t have a single carry today?

Yeah you’re not stupid at all, nope not you.

“Suuure...comparing a QB’s rush yards with a RB is totally a valid apples-to-apples comparison”, he said sarcastically...wondering if the OP is projecting some of his intellectual insecurities.

I’m just waiting for your riveting thread on why the Giants should start OBJ at QB cause he has such a higher rating compared to Eli.

How many drops did Funchess officially have today?

All these fans that dont appreciate Cam have obviously never seen Jimmy Clausen or David Carr play.

I still dont get the hate after all these years.....we'd be straight garbage without him

This.  At the grocery store today while we were checking out, my wife and I had a brief conversation about how Newton is going to be one of those guys that people say "Man, I wish we had Newton as our QB still" about 2-3 seasons after he retires.  Hope I am wrong and our next QB is the second coming of Tom Brady but people around here take him for granted.  While they are complaining about how terrible he is...I am going to sit back and enjoy the show.  Dude has bailed our coaching staff out so many times, its literally becoming normal to me.  Going to miss Newton when we no longer have him on our team, you can bank on that one.

what you dont get in passing accuracy you get in heart...

[Khyber53]

Sure would have been easy to pack it all in and head for the locker room at the end of the third. Cam showed incredible heart and put the team on his back. He got the most out of himself and his teammates that anyone could. Awfully hard not to believe in a team that can do that and he's the undisputed leader.

Looks like we have a new edition of the Cardiac Cats. It's going to be a long season, but it sure won't be a boring one.

God damn was Mccaffrey a wasted pick or what

Mccaffrey had a very good day today.  Six targets, six receptions, 51 yards.   Didn't get many rushing attempts, but when he did, he did well against a defense that was good against the run, 7 rushes for 29 yards.  

 

You guys do realize that when Cam throws the ball, someone has to catch it?  CMC does it better than much of the rest of the team.  

[Davidson Deac II]

Several of Cam's run's were scrambles, which can tend to be long runs for any qb that runs well.  CMC is running into the line when they more or less expect a run, so it's not really a valid comparison.  Unless he gets sacked a lot or the running back breaks a few long ones, Cam is usually going to have more YPC than any running back.  

Dak Prescott had a better day running the ball than Ezekiel Elliott did.  Mitchell Trubisky had a better day running the ball than Jordan Howard did.  Nature of the beast.

man... hes gonna do this in like 13 games this season isn't he? We gotta get the running game going with more than cam.

Ask yourself why the goal posts keep moving every week, and every season.

We lose? "He can't rally a comeback. His shoulder is done."

We win because he put the team on his back? "Should've been perfect!"

More fans need to start calling this idiocy out. Otherwise this place is just going to become the Panthers Facebook page.

You do and you get banned. Seems the place has sidelined good conversations to encourage reaction threads and people that keep them going. I mean every win feels like a loss here now.

We are not worthy.

I really dont understand how a fanbase who has had Weinke, Buerline, Collins, Reich, Peete, Testaverde, Moore, and Carr as their starting QBs could ever complain about Newton.  We are Lucky to have such a talent.
