National Cam haters haven't watch Panthers

He picked up 19 yeards on the play! Wouldn't have gotten anymore throwing it. They need to let Cam run. Cam may never be Payton Manning throwing, but his running ability is special. Maybe not quite Michael Vick special but pretty close.

I am very happy with the Cam pick even though I know he's going to struggle some this year. Cam can make plays with his feet no one besides Vick can make, and when/ if he develops as a passer his potential is unlimited.

You might mean this in the negative connotation, but let me put a positive spin on this train of thought.

From what I've seen in the Preseason... they have held Newton back. His runs have been jogs. The vast majority of his passes have been short attempts (15 to 25 yards). I know he can run faster. I know he can throw farther.

We have not seen Newton fire it all up... wait till they cut him loose... he's gonna wow this fanbase and the league before the end of the year.

Not meant to be either positive or negative regarding Newton, honestly. Just pointing out that comparing preseason stats from one year to another is kind of pointless.

If we could be in the film room today, you think they are going to say, "Okay guys, Steve looked pumped, lets move on from this play..."

or are they going to actually break down the play and tell Cam what he should have done, which is stay in the pocket and deliver the pass to a wide open wide receiver.

I think the staff will be fine w/ Cam choosing to run. Like I said, who is playing QB impacts what should or shouldn't be done. Play can develope the same for different Qbs.....what they should do isn't always the same.

You know that. But it doesn't suit your arguement.

Not so much comparing stats but play from the position. Would you feel worse about Cam if he didn't score a single TD....like the QBs of prior preseasons? I would think you would.

Not what I meant. I meant preseason QB play has been so bad recently from our potential starters......that there is no reason to be so down on Cam heading into this season. Not if you have followed this team. We have limped into each season the past 2 years with QBs literally doing nothing in the preseason.

Cam has done some things which is a difference heading into the year.....reason for optimism. Not what the national media is spinning.

Cam is being downed because he was already marked to be a failure by folks like Clark Judge. Cam doesn't fit their image of an elite NFL QB, so they will find anything they can to place him in a negative light...

So he got 19 running and we would have gotten at least 19 throwing, considering Cam didn't' do anything special with his run yet he had to take an extra hit doing it.

What was the upside to him running?

could of been hit and not completed the throw...could of missed it. Cam went w/ the money play. Good option when your QB is Cam Newton.

Upside to him running is Newton is a beast. Newton also had a great lead blocker in Smith (again a beast blocker) Play had GREAT potential. Not every play that sets up great will go for the homerun EVERY time.

Did you not see the pocket he was in? If he can't complete that 5 yard pass with no pressure on him and no defenders near the WR, he doesn't deserve to put on an NFL uniform.

You want him to be a runner because you know he's not an NFL passer.

He's a true run first QB no matter how much people argue it and it's not a recipe for success. That's all.

TRD is a Dolphins fan, why are people arguing with him about our QB?

I'm a Jets and Gaints fan, but u don't seem me trying to spin everything ur top QBs do into something negative to make me feel better about them. I happen to love Mark Sanchez but I also love Cam, Vick, Aaron Rodgers and a few other QBs and root on them and their team. As long as the Jets are playing them, thou...:D

What TRD is showing is that you can put a negative spin on anything in order to cause a discussion. It seems more about TRD and Cam is just the vessel he uses to get the attention.

      I don't know about you but I have been a life long Chiefs fan for the past 4 years.

      If "fans" would have came out today we would have made up those 3-points in home field advantage.

      Sure there's a ton of transplants in Colorado now. But as far as Denver in particular goes the Broncos have also been around for 65 years. Someone moving to Denver is going to be far more likely to become a fan of the Broncos and even attend games versus someone moving to Charlotte and the Panthers. Like I said it's not just one single thing with us it's multiple factors.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By ImfromClayton · Posted

      He's definitely getting better. It's fun to watch.  I've been getting killed for this take, but with the current state of college football, it just takes more time to develop a quarterback. I don't think it's a plug and play position anymore. I'm really not sure if it ever was. NFL offenses have always been substantially more complex than the college game, and the college game has simplified even more in recent years. Many college teams do not have a physical playbook anymore. That's just not the national football league.  Are there freaks who have success from day 1? Yes, without question. But so many of those guys are runners, and so many of those guys tail off. Is Bryce ever going to be Josh Allen? Probably not.  What I am seeing is a guy with complete command of the offense. He's checking into things at the line, making adjustments, and making timely throws.  He goes to David Moore a ton, because Moore is a consistent route runner. Bryce knows where he is and when he should be open. I think the guy with the "super processor" needs to be comfortable in the offense in order to do the "super processing." He doesn't have elite arm talent, and he is small of stature, but if he makes the smart play consistently, and he's willing to throw the ball downfield and not make mistakes, like he's starting to show, he's going to be a starter for a long time in this league, and it's not a position I'd spend draft capital right now.
