REPORT: Cam Newton is believed to be healthier

[DubE_4MR]

I'm glad to see he is progressing well.

 

But to be honest, nothing has changed since Ian Rapoport's December report. He said Cam was having surgery in December so that he can be healthy by March so the Panthers can evaluate his future.

And Cam is 60 percent if you’re rounding. Why is Luck considered a good passer? Why is his accuracy never questioned?

I never compared him to Luck to prove a point--you did.  And we discuss Panthers here, not Colts.   However, I can say that a few injuries to Luck and he is retired.  Why would you think Cam is going to keep playing under similar conditions? 

When Luck left, they thought they would not skip a beat with Jacoby Brissett.  They struggled.  What is Brissett's career passing percentage? 

59.9%--or rounded up to 60%.

Cam is not a great "come from behind" QB.

17 career game winning drives since 2011.

For context, Aaron Rodgers has 23 since 2005.

If you're going to throw something out there, at least try to be halfway right instead of talking out of your ass.

completion percentage is such a garbage stat

lo and behold the top three career completion percentages of all-time

 

1	Drew Brees	67.6%	2001-2019
2	Kirk Cousins	66.9%	2012-2019
3	Chad Pennington	66.0%	2000-2010

Cam was never in a situation that allowed him to have pretty passing stats .. that's just the bottom line.

Joe Brady is going to change everything.

I do not want to discredit your point, however,  Cam and Luck are very similar statistically.  It is surprising--I think a better comparison would be to see what Colt fans were saying about Luck.

Now Bleacher Report is saying we are “likely” to shop cam per Rapsheet.

And that he has.....great athlete, average QB. Take the run threat away and he is below average.  

If you take the run threat away he is Eli Manning.

We are in for several weeks of updates on CAM's health from the Panthers and/or the talking heads. Simply put, the better his health the higher his value in trade. By the same token, the better his health if not traded the higher the value of #7 pick for a trade down in the draft, especially if a QB is on the board at the time.

If our goal is to increase Newton's trade value, the way we have gone about it from a PR standpoint achieves the exact opposite of that.

Why would he not be healthy?

Is he off that bullshit vegan diet though?

You don't like the planet? Vegan diets will be the way of the future. Get on board or get sent to the Gulags for re-education.

Exactly. They could have at least said something positive about the only MVP we have ever had. Unless they had some trade almost worked out before the deadline and they think that they still can salvage that trade, I don’t think they know what they are doing. Either way they could still support him.

It is amazing to me that people here want to bet against CAM .. lol

Cam is not just another QB ..

Cam is just getting started here in Carolina, believe that.

Cam has been injured. Cam is older. Cam is on a vegan diet in which he has lost alot of muscle mass and probably lost strength. I love Cam but it's just hard for me to believe that he will come back better than ever. I hope I'm wrong....
