Can't defend Cam no more

[King Taharqa]

They showed this DURING the game, he has 1 game winning/tying drive in the 4th quarter.

But sure, if you are up Cams ass he has several.

He tied and took leads in the 4th of games last year. But if you're up our defense's ass they never gave up drives to blow it. (ex: see 1st Saints game, see 2nd Falcons game).

Right now, I'm kinda happy I didn't buy a Cam jersey heading into this season. Today's performance is a lock on awfulness

[Wyank]

I think we will find that his shoulder was banged up--that is what happens when your $10 million dollar backfield can't run for 50 yards combined.

I wouldn't doubt it. Cam has had some innaccurate games but today was ugly. Another reason why I am so sick and tired of the college playbook. Cam won't always have the wheels. He can't survive as an NFL QB relying on his ability to run. A hurt throwing shoulder would explain why some of those passes were so ugly.

[Silent Majority]

See the big picture people. Marty Hurney's incompetence surrounded Cam today. Garry Williams was TERRIBLE at RG. We have no depth at G. Stewart and Williams showed us all what 10% of the salary cap is worth when spent on running backs. Steve Smith, Stewart, Williams--the leaders of the offense--all had STOOPID mistakes that cost the team the win.

Marty's worst signing could be RIvera. I saw players running onto the field late, confusion at the snap, blown coverages, stupid play calling, etc. Rivera just sits there. Once, during a critical part of the game, he was working on a player's helmet. Should he not be concerned with the strategy?

Cam is not a mentally strong person. Leadership and intelligence is strengthened in QBs like Brees and Manning becuase they rely on them. Cam has always relied on his athleticism. Blame him if you want--I think we will find that his shoulder was banged up--that is what happens when your $10 million dollar backfield can't run for 50 yards combined.

Don't let the countless number of reporters who set out to determine if that were true, only to give reports strongly to the contrary, stop you from your little backhanded bullshit diatribe.

[King Taharqa]

Some of you folks act like you get all of your talking points from the media.

Do you really pay attention to your team as a whole? It's not Cam. Mark my word. Your QB is the least of your issues. I've been saying it on this site since last season but yet you continue to sit there and over analyze every mistake; every bad throw; every ish about this kid. But you refuse to pay any real attention to the rest of your team or the mentality of your team.

Its easier to give up on Cameron when he plays bad than to stand behind him. Its not like he's done anything for us.

Defense scored more points than the offense did ROFL.

[fjblair]

The team is adrift and it's not surprising that the QB has lost his swagger and focus. Despite his rookie season success and enormous talent, Cam Newton is still a work in progress and is not ready to carry an NFL team on his back.

[DaCityKats]

And he is not getting through his reads fast enough. Defense has no fear of our short passing game. The long passing plays are not going to open up when Cam won't take what the defense is giving him. Cover the long ball on the outsides. Who gives a crap about the short game. Cam is innaccurate throwing them when he even does decide to use it.

I also agree that the OC needs to get some designed quick passes mixed in.

well damn, no qb can make 4 or 5 reads in 1 second.yeah he missed on some check downs but i counted at least 4 or 5 dropped passes from RBs in check downs.the OC should have helped by calling quicker passes to the WRs and TEs were they wasnt the number 3 or 4 read in the progression.

[King Taharqa]

Defense scored more points than the offense did ROFL.

Yeah they did. First time in 2 years. Imagine if they did this every week and not once every 20 games. We might be a better football team.

You really do not know where I get my opinions, except, perhaps, the source of the opinion I just formed about you being a cyber penis.

[Fox007]

I wonder who gets paid to score points.

[IGSaint]

If only we went for the 4th down conversion last week this lost might be a little less painful lol.

[The Saw]

This is hilarious! OROY and you're ready to cut him.

[TheRed]

The coaches simply rely on Cams current abilities heavily.

Why else would we have 90 million tied up in a backfield while Cam carries the load and is our leading rusher. They appear to have made little to no effort at all to make him a better quarterback and maximize his potential.
