When was the last time we had a QB that other teams' fans were scared of? :D

[Doyle]

Never

[CatMan72]

My thoughts exactly... when Cam really masters this offense, watch out.

[blackcatgrowl]

Looking forward, I see the Carolina Panthers getting a lot better by next year. Ron Rivera will get that defense fixed quickly.

When that happens, look out, NFL.

The modern NFL has never seen a QB like Cam Newton. :)

[FuaMeOnce]

Quarterback is fine.

[Actionman0z]

he was never close to going down 10 times. He was close to going down once, maybe twice.

No, I agree, with the writer. You're right in that Cam was never close to going down, but he just makes escaping pressure look that easy. Several plays started out with me thinking "He's going to get sacked!" I'd say about 10 times. But Cam escaped every time. An average QB would have been sacked at least 6 times in that game. Clausen would have been sacked 10, plus threw three desperation pass interceptions.

How sack-proof and fumble-proof Cam has proven to be gives me a stiffy.

[Ivan The Awesome]

Nice.

We knew he'd be hard to bring down, size wise. But he seems to have the innate ability to keep one eye on the backfield and the other downfield.

sexy time

[Epistaxis]

The view of this Bear fan is you guys have a bright future at QB, and I was wrong, because I thought he would fail at the NFL level.

Shows you what I know.

That same "sense" protects him as he's running the ball. He seems to have eyes in the side and back of his head seeing the defense converge on him. And, when they finally do, he has the athleticism to (usually) avoid a direct hit.
