QB Pressure

[SgtJoo]

Carolina Panthers: When Cam Newton is not under pressure, he has a below average Accuracy Percentage of 75.7%. When he is under pressure, his Accuracy Percentage drops to just 70.8% which is the third-ranked figure behind that of Rivers and Peyton Manning. The difference of just 4.9% is the second smallest difference in the league.

Wording on that seems off :unsure:

"Below average"?

I'm guessing it's one of PFF's stats that corrects for drops and the like, which bumps most QBs up into the 80s in terms of percentage completions.

IMO, the reason is because of Cam's bad habit of not stepping into throws.  When pressured, a lot of times he can't step into throws.  However, when he isn't pressured, a lot of times he simply doesn't.  Most of the time when he misses, it's because he's not stepping into throws but he does both when pressured and when in a clean pocket, so the pressure really isn't impacting his misses.
