Newton: "It's About Trusting The System"

[GritsRgreat]

Seriously??? Cmon now, Perry Mason. It is pretty clear what happened and that he beat it only because of who he is. If it had been me or you we wouldn't be on this forum unless they gave us computer privledges in our cell.:D

Sorry but i know someone very close to me who was falsely accused and beat the rap. But back on topic. Cam must work from the pocket to be a successful quarterback in the NFL.

The most prolific QB in our team history

Cam is nothing more than a rookie QB who has yet to take a snap in a regular season game.....and who has looked below average in 3 pre-season games.

He very well may "become" the most prolific QB in team history. But to call him that makes you look ridiculous.

Right now he is only the most "hyped" QB in team history.

Lol its bad when Jimmy out plays you in games.

Look at the names in our QB history. Our fanbase had the lowest standards when it comes to QBing up until NOW. How many castaways and undrafted FA's have we put faith in? Bringing in Cam has made us demand more from the position, and I think thats a good thing. Our investment already at work.

Think it could have something to do with the fact that he is the franchise’s first ever #1 draft pick? Shouldn't you have high expectations for the #1 person selected in each draft?

FWIW, if it wasn't Cam and the person we took number 1 overall in the draft looked as fundamentally unstable as he does...he would be getting the same criticism.

Exactly.

If he were a 5th round draft pick playing "exactly" like he has played so far, people would question whether he even makes the team.

True but Dareus and peterson are kicking ass.......

And many fans believe Jimmy shouldn't be in the NFL at all... Maybe Canada.

he should be, he just needs to be in the right system.

Cam's footwork is bad under pressure....his fundamentals aren't that bad.

also keep in mind, we have yet to see Cam play what ideally will be our offensive scheme. Running the ball remotely well does have an impact on pass protection. Having Cam drop back almost every play highlights the entire teams weaknesses......not just Cam's.

From his waist up, his throwing motion is very, very good.

From the waist down he is eratic and inconsistent....but that WILL improve.

He needs time.

You know, a QB saying he has to trust the system is about the most uncontroversial thing he can do.

The fact that Cam made the statement and it has this many pages of posts about it tells me he is going to be the most polarizing figure in panthers history.

It was not his statement about "Trusting the System" that raised people's eyebrows.

It was his statement that is issues was not about his mechanics.

Right now its Jake Delhomme hands down. But when its all said and done it will be Cam. Dude is coming in with the highest expectations ever for a Panthers QB. He's already under the telescopes they use to gaze at Pluto.
