Cam Newton coming back to earth!

Cam Newton

13 games 59.7% comp 3573 yards 15 TD's 16 INT's 81.1 QB rating Team record 4-9

Yeah we all know he can run but can he throw? Seems to be struggling with that overall.

Re: Cam Newton coming back to earth!

Not trying to be a Cam Newton apologist here, nor a (loser) stat geek, but If I recall correctly Cam has given his team considerable leads in most of their games. I mean, do the panthers have a defense on the payroll or what? Aaron Rogers couldn't work any magic with that non existence of a defense...

Re: Cam Newton coming back to earth!

A 59.7% completion percentage, 16 picks, and a 81.1 QB rating has nothing to do with the Panthers defense.

Just sayin' :P

He's no Tim Tebow!

Re: Cam Newton coming back to earth!

Strangely, those numbers are pretty close to Ben's were the last time we won the SB.

...but no where close to Ben's rookie year.

It's a TEAM game... Where would Ben be without his defense.

And neither do his 13 rushing TDs, 45 rushing YPG and 4.9 YPC

Just sayin' ... :P

Have you watched him this year? The guy has it all...

They have led in 12 of 13 games this season at the half. They lost their 2 best players on D and have to score 30+ to win a game.

A rookie QB, rookie HC, new OC and DC on a team that was 2-14 last year. Not exactly sure why everyone expected a playoff run this year.

I know all this because I live in Charlotte is trust me... it's much better than last year. The games are exciting and aren't over by the end of the 1st quarter. I'm giddy the guy is a Panther since I have to watch them most Sundays if I stay home.

Re: Cam Newton coming back to earth!

Cam is going to be ROY. Panthers wouldn't trade him for any QB in the league not name Aaron Rogers. If Cam re entered himself in this upcoming draft with all these QB's he'd still be the first player taken.

I'm still trying to figure what "tweedle-dee-dumb's" point is.............

When your D is giving up 30+ a game it forces the OC to be more aggressive. It has everything to do with the D if you watched their games.

Cam is definitely responsible for some of those picks but if the coaches felt as though they could ball control and win 10 to 7 like Tebow they would probably do it.

Also remember the offense was blamed a ton for blowing 4th quarter leads in 2009 so yes, the D is responsible for all of Cam's woes.

He's a QB in an era that relies heavily on throwing the football. What he does a runner, really is irrelevant. How many games has that won him? How many championships has that won Michael Vick? Or Randall Cunningham? Or Kordell Stewart?

He could run for 1,500 yards. Big deal. As a passer this year, his numbers are below average. And they are on a steady decline.

Could careless. Look at his throwing numbers. And look what has happened with him the past 4 out of 5 games. Notice a trend? 4 TD's 7 INT's, 57.5, 57.9, 57.1, and 48.7 completion percentage.

And no...he doenst have it all. He lacks the biggest and most important thing a QB in this era needs. The ability to make good sound decisions.

And this time next year when Carolina is still losing it will be interesting to see how he handles adversary.

Re: Cam Newton coming back to earth!

2011 TDs(Pass+Rush), Turnovers (Fumbles + Ints), Yards (Pass+Rec+Rush)

Newton 28 TD, 19 TO, 4164 Yds
Ben 21 TD 17 TO, 3596

Never mind rookie years, Newton compares favorably to Ben this year.

Cam has been very impressive to this point.
