Cam is having an outstanding year.

This team is losing for two reasons:

#1 (by a large margin) - the defense can't stop the big play and can't create turnovers.

#2 - the offense puts up very nice numbers, but falters in the big moments. 

 

#2 really wouldn't be of any concern if the defense could just make a play once in a blue moon.  The only time the defense makes a big play is when the game is basically already won.  Outside of week 1, they haven't come through in the clutch once all year.

yea ZERO turnovers last 3 games is brutal.

If only we didn't decide to run the ball every time we get inside the 10. Imagine the possibilities.

• He's currently 5th in the entire league in completion percentage (Behind only Brees, Ryan, Cousins, Wentz) (and that is with a TON of drops from Funchess mind you). 

Fox has Funchess with 3 total drops.

NBC has him with 4

TSN says 4 as well

It doesn't matter which source you look at, it's far short of a ton.

It isn’t quiet. It’s loud and clear that Cam has returned to MVP form.

the problem is that the combination of Graham Gano, our inept coaching staff, and a defense that is the worst unit I’ve seen since we had Haruki Nakamara in our secondary is wasting another year of Cam Newton.

 

its a cryin shame

Ah Haruki.

Those stats aren't current.  He currently has more than 401 yards.  Hell he had at least 4 drops in the Detroit game.  I'd easily say those aren't looking at the last 4-5 weeks.  Dude is straight terrible and has definitely contributed to significantly lowering Cam's completion rating.

Fake stats. I think anyone who has watched every game knows that Funch has far more than 3 or 4 drops. He had 4 or 5 in the Detroit game alone and had 3 in a game before that. It’s worse recently but this whole season it seems like you can count on him to drop 1-2 passes a game, typically in the first half.

That's why i looked beyond Fox at the others. They're up to date. A lot of folks seem to be so pissed at Funchess that they don't see the defended passes or the non-catchable balls. To each his own.

They are subjective. 2 people could view the same pass and see different things. One might see a ball as not likely to be caught. Another may see defender influence. If you want to see the WR as garbage, you could see it that way.

That’s gotta be because the analytics definition of a drop is different from the fans’. For a fan, the deep shot to Funch in the Detroit game where he mistimes his jump is a drop (because Funch should’ve caught that ball; he should’ve made that play), but if we're being technical, he likely didn’t ever have the ball securely enough for that to qualify as a drop. 

Funch has 41 receptions on 68 targets. Cam isn’t completing almost 70% of his passes on the season while randomly throwing 23 uncatchable passes Devin’s way.

Non-catchable? He had 3 or 4 balls hit him right in the hands/chest in the Detroit game alone. 

Those stats are way off.

It isn't really all that hard to see that Funchess is garbage.

Cam is killing it, but also just shows the BS narratives that "smart" NFL people go with.  Completion % is the biggest crock of poo.  Cian Fahey made this case a couple years ago that show such a good point...Steph Curry is a 45% shooter...Deandre Jordan is 65%.  Who's the better shooter? The numbers don't tell the whole story, and it's sad that talking heads feed the inbred mouth breathing idiots who used completion % for years to say Cam was an inaccurate QB all the time. 

[The NFL Shield At Midfield]

he's completing almost 70% of his passes.  maybe i'm misremembering things but i remember a lot of people saying that he just wasn't that kind of quarterback and couldn't pull that off.
