This is a new era where college qbs have shown the ability to come in and play well immediately. Newton lost the rookie yardage record last year and he will lose the two year record this year. His NFL passer rating has been mediocre both seasons. 20 qbs threw more TDs than Newton last year and 25 qbs completed a higher percentage of their passes. Throw in the leadership and maturity issues and you have a player few GMs will be willing to take a big risk on unless he starts. Playing much better football. He looked terrible yesterday. Terrible.

Cam would be so awesome in an offense that features him.

 

you know, giving him a few weapons, a sturdy O-line, and perhaps utilizing his very unique strengths.

 

 

 

 

 

Look for Gettleman to make this happen. Couldn't achieve it in one year with Hurney's mistakes still very much present. *Rivera*

most QB's would, it's those special guys that do more with less.  most of this board obviously doesn't think Newton is a guy that can do that.

I knew I had seen this guy before. I remember him from last year. He's been posting this same drivel since last season. Looking through his posts, all he's ever done is post about how bad Cam is. Totally no agenda, right Tony?

A running QB in college does not necessarily transfer well to the pro game.  Defenders are much faster and much bigger and hit way harder.  You cannot put Cam in an Auburn style offense and have him survive half the season.  That is why he will have to learn to be a passer or move on.

 

His running skills should only be used to escape a sack or get an occasional first down.  RGIII, Vick and others have not held up well when slammed around by the NFL defenses.  Thus the efforts of having him read defenses and learn to pass.  And by the way, I don't think he is quick enough to run Chip Kellys offense.  Vick is doing a good job at it however.

Posters like him are popping back up now that the team is struggling. They didn't want him drafted, and disappeared during the 2011 season. They come back every now and again when Cam doesn't play absolutely perfect.

No poo. I half expect TRD to make an appearance

Historically it has been assumed that we sign Cam to a lucrative extension as soon as the bargaining agreement allows it. I believe this would be at the end of this season, so around February?

 

With Gettleman here and Rivera potentially gone things could be a little different. I assume we would still keep sign a new contract, it just wouldn't be as big as we all thought unless he rebounds this year. I can't imagine we want him testing free agency no matter how he does. I can't recall the last time a franchise QB wasn't locked up ASAP.

 

Or do we let him ride out his contract before doing anything?

Rebound from what? Throwing a couple of long/short balls just like Brady, Peyton, Rogers and every other QB who start a game?

 

Rebound from what? Having a stat that was very much inline with the other young QBs whose team won yesterday? BTW, do you know the Russel Wilson stats in last night's game was 122 yds. 1 TD, and 1 Int, yet his team won 29 to 3. Can u imagine that? Oh yes, and Colin threw three Ints and couldn't get a damn thing going last night. I wonder if the 49er fans are ready to get rid of him seeing that he took Alex's position.

 

My impression of this site besides the sheer entertaining side of it is, some of do seriously believe Cam is responsible for every team lost. U seem to give off the vibe that this team's success is predicated on him being "perfect" at every level and not so much on what the other players do.If Cam does his job, everything else will fall in place, seems to be the twisted mindset of some.  In the real world, Cam is very much on par with many of the other QBs including the elite ones, who over/under throw and  make mental mistakes. The only thing is, they have players around them who take their jobs seriously and go out every Sunday and work hard for their QB and the team. FYI, Cam doesn't work for the Offense. They work for him. Don't believe me, watch how those in the media behave when their "preferred QB" isn't getting the help he needs from his receivers and team in general.

Name a "special guys" who haven't been playing on the pro level say for like ten years that maybe able to do what you're speaking of? There isn't one QB that is asked to do what Cam is doing where fans, like some of you, expect so much out of him while excepting so little from the rest of the team. Those QBs don't last in the NFL because the team burn them out and fans like you seem to think it's okay.

 

I guess his skin color must be messing with some of you because you seem to see him as some sort of workhorse. Wrong! In the real world of QBing, it's the surrounding cast of players who STEP UP to help the QB, remember? Not the QBs killing themselves to do it all.
