Cam once held a strong top 5 spot in the league as far as Throwing power... Now these young guns seem to want to have a open duel to see who throws farther, Allen said its gonna take at least 85 yards in the air to beat him,while Mahomes holds a season record of longest completion at over 61 yards in the air... Take your bets....(its the offseason but this sounds fun)

I'd wager to say that Newton had the 1st/2nd strongest arm ever in the NFL when healthy (him and  Vick)...that dude threw lasers (sometimes unwarranted) and multiple 50-60 yard passes falling back off his back foot.  I've watched the Brett Farve tapes etc and people claimed he had the strongest arm, but I think Newton is severely under-rated.

People said Favre because he always won the arm strength competition they had at the pro bowl, so, it was true.

Cam indeed has one of the strongest arms in football. The greats have a strong arm, accuracy, and touch. Favre knows how to put touch on it but he struggle with accuracy as well. Flacco, Elway and Stanford have great long balls and strong arms as well but could never put it all together.

What separates those guys from greats are having it all. Rothlisburger, Brees, Rodgers have power, touch and accuracy. 

Of course no ones perfect but if I had to choose the importance of a QBs arm in order it’d be. 

Accuracy

Touch

Power

I hate to say it but Jamarcus Russel likely had a stronger arm than Cam.

As lazy he was, he had a rocket launcher attached to his shoulder.

Jamarcus Russell had once-in-a-lifetime, Bo Jackson athlete, type arm talent. God given. What a waste.

A lot of the time I don’t think scouts miss on the talent a player has. Sometimes it’s how that talent is harnessed.. either from laziness, bad coaching, terrible system fits or whatever. It isn’t just because the guy couldn’t play football.

      Would you trade Ickey

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.

      We're in a great position to see just how big of a misstep it would be, having made so many ourselves

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      By SCO96 · Posted

      I didn't say I would have done it. I was just saying that I can see why some in the FO considered it. Everything was done to give Bryce weapons. Solidify the interior line thru FA. Get XL at WR in round 1 and then get the most talented RB in round 2. Take a TE in round 4, etc They were probably "assuming" he'd make a complete recovery during the 2024 season. I'm a skeptical person. I wouldn't have assumed he'd be ok in 2024. I personally would have taken another position in the 2nd for that very reason. But, if I were "influenced" to take him I would've argued to keep him off the field, especially seeing how things were going for us record wise. Conventional Wisdom says most backs don't get back to normal until two years after the ACL surgery. He was injured in Fall 2023. Having him suit up in 2025 would have been almost 2 years since the original injury. You have him for 3 year on low contract. If he balls out, you resign him for a couple of more years b/c he'd only have 3 years of tread on the tires. If he's ok but not great you let him walk.
