Making People Eat Crow

[TheRealDeal]

And just wait until this guy you labeled a "project" fully develops. Holy poo right??

So you expect this to be Cam's floor?

[Mr. Scot]

Great game by the kid, but are you willing to call him a bust if he struggles next week? Week 3?

I'm not eating crow, if anything, I'm again right on target with Newton, just look at my season predictions.

All of you who lowballed him should be eating crow.

Also, anyone wanting anyone else to eat crow after one game against one of the worst teams in the league is setting themselves up for failure.

Barring injury, you can't pull him. Can't cant can't can't CAN'T :nonod:

Even if it means taking some nasty lumps, you have to let the team and Newton grow together or you risk screwing him up.

I think our coaching staff is smarter than that.

Nobody but blind homerism could have predicted this kind of performance by Newton.

No you were blind, but now you see. Cam Newton has healed your afflictions. In the name of The Big Kat, Cam, and the Carolina Panthers.... amen

[Kurb]

So you expect this to be Cam's floor?

What a silly,baiting, and absurd question..

[PanthersPhan18]

Lets see how he looks in 10 years before anointing the kid :-)

160 games seems a little bit high to me.

[teeray]

So you expect this to be Cam's floor?

Yes. Certainly not statistically but mentally, mechanically, and his comfort level will only improve from here like all rookies.

[teeray]

You were nowhere in the vicinity of on target with Newton.

Pathetic attempt at finding something else to attempt to troll over.

You are not worth the seconds of my day that I spend reading on of your posts.....to IGNORE with you.

MadHatter is way more fun when you agree with him :p

[TheRealDeal]

What a silly,baiting, and absurd question..

Excuse me but if Teeray states that he can't wait till he develops and he played this good with all his issues, wouldn't that be the definition of floor?

If he's being sarcastic and trying to troll/claim victory after one game against a very poor Arizona team, wouldn't he have to admit defeat after each bad performance?

Just trying to get some background.

If it's one of those "awesome if he plays well, super if he plays decent, and pretty good if he's bad" situations, please continue.

Cam might not pass for 400 yards again this season, but that would be teams pulling back in the blitz, focusing on pass coverage, and opening up the running game.

Exactly. Defenses can't just stack the box and blitz the game. Cam has showed you might have to respect his arm more than his legs. This was his first game in the NFL. Who knows about next week, but yesterday was an AMAZING performance. As for the outcome of the game, defense and special teams made a few big mistakes. O-line needs to do better with protection penalties.

I think he played pretty damn good being a rookie,only having 5 weeks in the system,no otas or minicamps, being blitzed non stop yesterday, by being the typical run first pass later type of qb out of college, with no running game to help him out. If you dont agree with that trd then i dunno what would make you happy.

[TheRealDeal]

I already said he had a great game...what more do you want, a bronze bust in Canton?

My question was simple to those "declaring victory" over his critics.

They are scared to answer it, which is expected.

[The Saltman]

Not at all. Just saying. :)

[TheRealDeal]

This type of thread just opens the door for him to be over scrutinized each week.

Are these people going to "eat crow" next week if he plays poorly?

[Porn Shop Clerk]

TRD was so expectant on Cam's failure that he can't enjoy his success.
