The new GM and new coach in 2013 need to sit Cam behind a vet QB

[Sam Mills Fan]

Mentally, Cam Newton is about as weak right now as I've ever seen any quarterback ever. He's in mental shambles. I think the one chance to save his career in Carolina is to sign or trade for a veteran QB in 2013 that Cam can sit behind. I think this would have been best for him all along, get some of these crushingly high expectations off of him for a second and just let the guy regain his composure so he can FINALLY learn proper footwork, FINALLY learn how to pass inside the 10, FINALLY learn how to pick up a key first down or touchdown through the air late in the 4th quarter. Every time he has to go out there and learn on the fly, it's stacking up even more pressure on him when he fails time and time again.

I'll probably get flamed for this, but whatever. Thoughts?

You gotta be sh*tting me. Cam is 23 years old, he will get his sh*t together next year. I swear some of yall need go die.

Did you submit this to the suggestion box?

[rico6]

Yes, bench the new face of your franchise.

God this forum makes no sense.

i don't know, maybe.

whatever. the next coaching staff is going to have their own ideas.

[Sam Mills Fan]

Okay, what actual reason do you have to believe that he WILL indeed get that "poo" together? Just blind faith.

Holy poo I swear I can feel brain cells dying with some of the stuff I read on here

[Panthercougar68]

Ps Rivera will be here next year.

Again, the read option has made Cam regress. It will be a little while before he can get back to his 2011 form. Chud is still calling too many shotgun plays btw also.

[CardiacCats]

Yeah because finding a vet and pretty much benching Cam is really gonna help his mental state. He is our cornerstone, he's the man we're moving forward with.

I love your posts SMF....but, cam played great today. Minus his goal line fumble, those two ints were a result of a slip, and Olsen not running to the ball/great defensive play..

[Sam Mills Fan]

All of you with Cam pics in your forum signatures maybe aren't the most unbiased observers. If you're going to sit here and tell me Cam Newton is a good starter in this league right now, you are flat out mistaken. If you have a quarterback playing well, you absolutely aren't 1-6 in the league of 2012 no matter how bad the rest of your team is.

he did well when we stuck with a pro offense all season last year

Did the Giants do this to Eli when he was struggling in his young career?
