Cam Newton Postgame Vid

I don't think he's everything you want in a QB, but who is? I do think the gamble in drafting him paid off big time. I wouldn't take any QB we've ever had in his prime over Cam as a mistake prone rookie.

What more could you want from your 22 year old QB? He can make every throw, he's tall enough to see over the LS, and he seems to have a true football mind, just the name a few quality attributes. Oh, and he's got some serious swag and he's developing some media savvy. There will be more Carolina fans than ever.

Honestly, Cam reminds me of Tom Brady as far as how he speaks to the press. He's done his homework on how to handle the press. Now, I also think Cam is TOTALLY genuine with it as well, but he obviously knows how to say the right things as well. Always giving props to the other team (even if it isn't needed or warranted) and always giving props to the players around him. Very respectful. Very humble. And, the most obvious, very driven.

These losses are nothing but good for Cam. He DOES need a win, just so he knows what it takes to get one and what it feels like (I mean, it has been since the National Championship since he last won, and that has been a while). Cam is going to be great because he wants it and he has all the tools to be great. Let this man figure out the game at this level. I suspect by mid-season or 3/4 of the way through the season, he will REALLY be lighting up (which is saying something, considering these past 2 weeks).

He struggles with the shorter touch throws at this point. That's not hate, that's the truth right now.

Fair point. It's almost like he over-thinks it. He is so used to just slinging it downfield with pin-point accuracy that he forgets to take a little off and really concentrate on throwing to a spot short. Now, his first throw of the game to Shockey was a thing of beauty. He placed it perfect and it just looked good all-around. If he gets consistent with that, it will only mean more trouble for opposing teams.

Touch passes come with time and practice. There are a lot of QBs in this league that cant do some things he did Sunday so its worth waiting for those passes to come around.
