Kept forcing the ball to Moore even after he fumbled SMDH

You keep playing this harp, but never change your tune. Moore had the ball knocked from his hands on a great defensive play for the first one, and the second was a "backwards pass" that was deflected back and he was reaching back to get it. Neither one was his fault.

Also, in the first game of the season, if your WR1 fumbles, do you really think you just sit him on the bench for the rest of the game or season? SMH

2: Cam is over thinking. He’s thinking about not getting hit

I'm a lot older than Newton, but I and many others can tell you that as you age and your body becomes more vulnerable to things that you used to shrug off, it gets in your head.

You've probably seen plenty of players who were never shy about contact in their younger days start to pull up a little bit as they get older. It wears on you. And if you've been through injuries like Newton has, it can be even worse. Just ask Andrew Luck.

If this is true, then one of two things can happen. He can get back into the rhythm of the game as the season goes on, or it can start to affect him even worse.

You gotta hope it's the first option.

He has been a intent to injure target by opposing players every season for hits on him so he has good reason to think this.

Can't play the game as a starting QB and have any success if this is in your mind. For example, see Joey Harrington, David Carr, Jimmy Claussen.

Reading hepcat's comments I really don't think this person watched the game.

Lots of coaches will go back to a guy after a bad mistake to try to build his confidence back up. That's why we sent Joey Slye back out for another 50-plus yard field goal.

If he keeps making mistakes, maybe not. But most will give him the chance. Otherwise your risk shaking is confidence to the point that he won't get it back.

Eh, not so fast there.

On that first fumble, he already had the ball bobbling around loose in his hand. He hadn't even secured it all of the way before the punch came. His ball security is definitely an issue, though that and his effort on that second INT was definitely not an issue. Just a bad break.

Exactly! And neither of those fumbles was in a vacuum, either.

Watch the replay again, no baubling of the ball, and at point of contact he had it properly tucked and a second hand on it underneath. It was just a perfect punch out.

I used to watch pro wrestling as a kid and loved the high impact stuff. These days if I watch a guy slam into something, my body feels it and I cringe 

Newton obviously isn't to that level yet, but it's human nature that when you hurt something, there's always a little part of your brain that's paranoid it's going to get hurt again.

Consciously or subconsciously you protect yourself, and that protection can alter the way you do things.

Just finished watching the game in the coach's film and noticed how often Jarius Wright was open but not getting targets. Defense keyed in on Moore mostly where Cam tried to force the ball. 

Would love to see the ball spread around more against the Bucs. More diversity needed in the passing game.

Its called scripted timing routes

Cams bad game was average, illl take that, considering his good games are elite level.

Wonder if this info was being passed to Cam during the game. You’d think it be a major emphasis in the film room this week.

Lol @ in-game adjustments.
