If you buy into passer rating...

[CatMan72]

LOL, he's doing all this while feeling overwhelmed... can't imagine what happens when he gets comfortable.

Is newton the one who should be blamed for this, or could it be the play calling/ execution of his teammates?

The kid is not perfect and I am not trying to be an apologist but Cam deserves no more than a third of the blame for our red zone woes if that much.

Cam has had his fair share if issues worth noting in the redzone in games....missed some open WRs, poor decisions not throwing it away which knocked up back, etc.

Not bashing Cam on it....redzone is the toughest part of the field. He has done well for a rookie.....but his redzone work keeps him from being what some of said. He simply hasn't outplayed every QB but 4.

Our current crop of Uglys are better pass blockers than run blockers.

Still, having a guy who's big and can move covers a multitude of sins.

Deangelo and Stewart had career years with this line, except we had key keydrick Vincent instead of Schwartz at guard.

As said before, ESPN's version of QBR is a joke, best way to judge QBs is a mixtrue of passer rating, yards per attempt, and total touchdowns (passing and rushing)

i would like to see his red zone comp %. Moneyball

No offense to Cam but the coaching staff seems dead set on giving him basically every red zone opportunity. We've got 2 great RBs and how many carries inside the 5 have they gotten? I'd rather have the 5'10 235lb Stewart trying to muscle a yard or 2 than the 6'5 245 Cam. Much lower running height, harder to take down.

According to ESPN he's 10-24 inside 20, 4-7 inside 10.

If Cam get's within the one yard line with 4 downs I think he gets it every time but that's just me.

And Stewart can't? Cam is a good runner, but he's no Stewart or Williams. He's not as agile or as fast as them. Not as powerful as Stewart either.I have no problem with QB sneak thrown as a changeup from time to time in the red zone, but it shouldn't be the go to play it's become.

It's more about the Run/Pass option..if we spread em out he can just run it in or if they try to bunch it up just throw it to the outside..if we have to go goaline formation it's easier to stop.

[Lumps]

Yea but cam has more rushing TDs. A lot more. And he is better than everyone except teh obvious. Man Ben just seems to always be last. Passing is important and I can't STAND the draw cam plays unless their on 2nd and 1. If he could just learn to run when the defense is caught off guard when there is some major holes he'd be set.

What does the formation have to do with anything? As long as your not in an empty backfield a run or pass with a back is a possibility. You don't have to be in a goal line formation to run with a back. Williams and Stewart have a combined 5 carries inside the 20. Newton has 14, 10 inside the 10.

[Razzy]

Cam still needs to work on his accuracy. His numbers look better than should be because, for the most part, our receivers have been making some excellent grabs.
