Cam haters, what you should have learned from the last 3 games

[Squirrel]

Why always hard on Cam?

 

 

Not always hard on him.  But people on here act like he is the next best thing.  This year all our wins have came against defenses ranked 25th or worse.  When Cam faces a good defense he usually loses.

Cam is indeed responsible for all our losses to good defenses, especially when D-Will fumbled the ball in the red zone of the Seahawks.  I do wish Cam could hold onto the ball for D-Will better.

 

Team losses, lots of people at fault.  Team wins, lots of reasons why.

 

Cam's improved, and has looked good even against good defenses, even when the team as a whole hasn't.  But he's not yet at a point where he really can carry the entire offense to look spectacular.  I don't think that is a reason to think we should move away from him...

I'd say he's top 10 right now,  stats are higher,   but he is looking real good in my book,  should be top 5 by years end,  getting fun to watch, being smart with the ball,  the next few games will tell alot,  but I still think he's a kid playing a mans game,  lol  once he matures, look to fug OUT.

That couldn't possibly be because this is a Carolina Panthers message board could it? You know, the team Cam Newton plays for?

He played solid vs 2 of the 3 teams Carolina played that had good defenses. Can't put the blame on Newton.

Is this day passing slowly for anyone else??

 

Feels like it should be at least 5pm by now

[MadHatter]

The biggest thing I have learned over the past two games.......the ridiculous Cam Hunt Huggers are even more obnoxious than we originally thought.

 

Way to step up your game girls.

How did he play solid against seattle or Arizona? Which other team had a "good" defense?

His numbers were decent against Seattle from an efficiency standpoint.

 

Buffalo has a highly rated defense

What HappyPanther said

You can't call Cam a game manager because we've seen that we often need big monster games from him to win. What your seeing is that we finally have a defense that doesn't require him to account for four touchdowns for him to win

Every game Tom Brady wins isn't four touchdown games but nobody labels him a game manager. This past Sunday Cam actually should have had 3 touchdowns all to Steve Smith. The one Smith dropped he would have walked into the endzone if he held on because the only defender had already fell down. Then on the play that was challenged smitty just needed to stick his arm out and it's a touchdown.

The thing you see with this Panthers team is the lack of playmakers. I'm not talking about guys that can catch the ball. All receivers can catch it's the NFL. I'm talking about guys that can take a 0 yard or 5 and 10 yard passes 60 and 70 yards for scores. Those "elite" qbs have guys that can do that.

Cam is a game manager because all he is ask to do is not screw it up...  throwing the ball 26 and 17 times in two games.

the point is.. carolina does better when cam is asked to do less......not a coincidence...FACT!!!!!!!!!!! 

 

WHO ARE THESE "ELITE " WRs THAT GETS 60-70 YAC?? constantly? periodically?.. cause every wr can do that, you know?

[blak-n-blu]

The knock on Cam hasn't been that he is a game manager or that he isn't smart enough or many of the things that people have said on here one way or the other,  The issue has been his consistency.  His athletic ability and strong arm isn't the issue.  His ability to run hasn't been the issue. The issue is whether he can be accurate week in and week out.  Can he make the throws that he has to make against tough defenders and good defenses. Can he drive the team in the last 2 minutes and carry the team on his back. The last 2 weeks he has been very accurate and very good.  Tonight is a big test on a big stage.  If he plays well tonight it will go a long way to convince folks he has turned the corner.  If he struggles or get outplayed by a rookie making his 3rd start, you can expect the criticism to continue.

 

It is really up to him to dispel the negative press.  He can do that tonight.

there..

That is bc usually, he gets zero assistance. Tonight Williams will probably have 15 carries for 35 yards or something like that

Then he is forced to pass all game with a poo OL

That is his life against good defenses
