We seem headed toward a pick in the top 10--this is considered a good QB draft---I am not so sure, but there are 3-4 in this draft that will be taken in round 1.  Furthermore, you have beasts like Andrew Thomas, Derrick Brown, Chase Young, and Jerry Jeudy (4 players that would make us better day 1) to go along with 3 QBs (Burrow, Herbert, and Tua). 

To me, getting to the top 8 or so would nearly guarantee us an impact player.  Frankly, if we could get the QB situation resolved before hand, adding Thomas or Jeudy would really spark this offense. I will HATE the draft if we take an unknown commodity at QB and leave a future Hall of Famer on the board. 

This could be the best argument for keeping Cam one more season (healthy).

Through the 6-2 start Cam had 67.5% completion percentage.

Drew Brees is 67.6 career.  His last few years have actually been $$.  Fortunately, we don't need Newton to be one of the best passing QBs to ever play.

Brady has had one year over 67.5% in his entire career.

 Rodgers.  64.7%.  63.3, 62,3, 64.7, 65.7, 60.7, 65.6, 66.6, 67.2.  Those are his 2012-2019 years.

I hear you, but you cannot compare an 8-game stretch of an 8-year career to determine his norm.  He was doing well, with Norv--it takes teams a few games to get film to adjust.  You have a good point, and that is what makes this difficult.   Man--I hope you are right.

I wasnt trying to.  Only wanted to point out that Newton's best stretch (btw, he finished the entire year 67.9, but I was only looking at the gamespan that was mentioned..pre injury/Steelers game which actually made his completion % worse) isn't unimpressive when compared to Brady, Brees, and Rodgers.

It is hard to say about the pocket because he has never had WRs who could get open and a line that could block at the same time.  The best of Cam's career is still unimpressive when compared to a Brees, Brady, Rodgers, etc. in terms of accuracy.

When you are a high school coach and you can win with a running qb--you run the qb.  In College, if you can win running the QB--run the qb--use his natural ability.  Cam knows to trust that ability and knows the option is always there.  How do you take that out of his mindset--the thing that made him great is now discouraged?  I dunno.

I want Cam to have a long, healthy, accurate career in Charlotte, but I see that as improbable--people call me hater etc. but it is not an emotional reaction to the situation--it is data-driven and logical.  That does not make me right---but I won't cherry pick stats to make me feel better about my opinion.  We lose Cam, we lose the face of the franchise--our identity.  We better have a solid plan B.

Cam was at his best with Chud. His career suffered when Chud took the head coaching job in Cleveland.

I wouldn't bet against Cam Newton the person. That's why I think he'll be just fine.

By the way, offensive coach, analytics minded, head coaching experience, along with his best QB ever, has something to prove, and has familiarity with the current staff from other stints. Easy fix.

It's on.
