And now gamble pics off a cam bomb intended for LaFell. Capt and Gamble had him blanketed.

Big Money picks off Cam. Nice play fading back off the line and jumping up to make INT. Gamble then picks off Cam on next play on bomb.

I'm not gonna lie, it certainly seems like Cam is throwing a lot more picks in camp this year... At least just in the first few days.

I hope it is just that our defense has gotten that much better and the offense has to catch up timing-wise and personnel-wise. BUT, he keeps getting picked by the d-lineman, that doesn't really have to do with timing or new players.

Anyone else concerned with the number of picks Cam has thrown in practice. Yeah I know it's practice, but does that mean he's not taking it seriously? Practice? Yeah it's not a game. It's practice. Practice?

he was all over the place in practice and preseason last year. some guys just aren't big practice players regardless of the work they put in.

no.

no.

no.

not a big deal. he's taking it seriously. so are the guys in coverage.

not something to worry about unless you just want to have something to worry about.

they are still getting into the groove of things.

I think these first few days are just everyone getting used to the sport again, getting used to contact, to timing. I'm not the least bit concerned about it. It wasn't until the first game of the season that he really looked good last year.

Dline is dropping back in all of those picks.

defense is getting more creative. offense is finding their groove.

again, not something to worry about unless you just want something to worry about.

I've been concerned since the pro bowl. It's my #1 fear this season, since I saw that he had the potential to be that bad.

For those of you worried about picks - While certainly something to be concerned about, lets keep things in perspective. This is training camp, and specific throws and routes are being worked out. Cam will be making throws regardless of coverage, at times, just to work on a specific play. Cam's leash on full blown decision making will be limited to certain sets of defense v offense scrimmages. It's hard to tell the exactly what's going on via twitter. Some of these picks could be a poor decision by Newton while others were just throws that he was working on regardless of coverage.

    • Man, what interesting polarization here.  Some, hard pass while others would jump their own mom to make  the pick (ok, I just inserted that mental image, ha ha). Warren produced despite being the main focal point of the Penn State offense.  I didn't watch Penn State, but that's what a lot of talking heads are saying so take that with a gigantic grain of salt here!  When I watch the highlights and listen to the analysis: dude is a bully.  He's big, strong and fast enough.  Not a home run threat of a guy, but someone who can use his size and strength to his advantage, like how Gronk did.  Does that make him a sure fire HOF player before he plays a snap?  No, of course not! But I think it's also very important to look at what's happened to other high draft pick TEs.  Top 10 TEs rarely make an impact.  Look at Kyle Pitts in ATL.  He's a great athlete, but was he a worthy high draft pick?  TJ Hockinson.  He was suppose to be a can't miss product, and was traded to the Vikings.  Here's a handy list (despite the source, eww): https://thefalconswire.usatoday.com/gallery/nfl-draft-falcons-tight-end-kyle-pitts-hayden-hurst-atlanta/ There has been much better value drafting guys in the 2nd-4th rounds.  I have no idea if Warren will wash out or not, but I'd MUCH rather draft the best pass rusher, CB or even WR than a TE in the top 10.  Now if the Panthers traded down into the late teens or early 20s and they are sold on him being a difference maker...  I guess that's a different conversation. It could also just be a smoke screen.  Since we telegraphed Legette last year, could be gaming some of the other teams.  Or we could have a hard-on for him. I do enjoy the off season 😃
    • Guess I'm in the minority, love this mock. If you told me we somehow could get both TMac and Starks I would have thought that meant we traded future picks to move up. 
    • I'm not sold on TE at 8 but I do agree with you. You really gotta think about him as a WR as well. He is a special type and would instantly give us the red zone threat we do not have
