electricrelish Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 I haven't watched this game at all but what happened to the Panthers since their red hot start? No one has said anything about the 3 int's from Cam. Cam didn't get the win, but for the 2nd straight week he put up QB1 fantasy numbers: 432 yds passing, 1 TD, 3 INTS, Rushed for 53 yds, 1 TD.

tosberg34 Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Cam didn't get the win, but for the 2nd straight week he put up QB1 fantasy numbers: 432 yds passing, 1 TD, 3 INTS, Rushed for 53 yds, 1 TD. and for the 2nd straight week GB defense was shredded beyond recognition.

Grits and Shins Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 I must admit Cam has surprised me ... but I still expect inconsistent play from him this season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SecondString Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 (edited) As a huge SEC+Auburn+Cam Newton Critic I'll be one of the first to admit - I'm impressed. Immensely. Yes, amazing. I've been spouting how he will struggle, no rookie comes in and wreaks havoc , college is one thing, the NFL is another, etc. I take it all back, this guy is amazing, and I believe he is the real deal. I liken it to when Tiger Woods turned pro. I, like most others, didn't believe that any one golfer could come in and dominate the game. I was wrong then too. Every now and then, you get that special kind of athlete, and I believe Cam is one of them.

cbs0121 Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Well, I was actually at this game and here's what I saw in regards to Cam and the Panthers offense - 1. Cam has incredible physical tools. His arm is really as good as advertised, and even most Packers fans were stunned by his late game bomb to Smith over two defenders. Play of the game in my book, even though it was too little too late. He reminds me a lot of a speedier Roethlisberger as far as his mobility goes. 2. Carolina's o-line can't open up holes for DWill, but man can they block for Cam. The first quarter saw the Packers throw a bunch of blitzes at Newton and all of them were picked up beautifully, leaving men wide open down the field and Newton hit em. It was vs. the blitz that Newton made most of his big plays and the guys up front deserve a lot of credit. 3. Newton was pretty terrible though when the Packers went to dropping seven in the second and third quarters. He's still got a long ways to go when it comes to breaking down NFL defenses and I could see him really bad against a team like Chicago that sits back in cover two and makes him throw into a tight window. 4. He overthrew an open Nanee in the endzone on back to back plays late in the game. As accurate as he was on deep balls, he still needs a lot of work on the short to intermediate routes. Overall, I'm impressed but not yet completely sold on the guy developing into a top signal caller. Nothing against what he's done to this point, but he's still got a long ways to go.

nelsosi Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 (edited) I've watched both his games in their entirety, and am absolutely blown away. When he figures out how to read coverages better, and not force plays that aren't there, he is going to be a force. The easy comparison is to Vick, but Newton is bigger, doesn't panic in the pocket as quickly, and has (already) much better passing fundamentals.

MrTed46 Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 I just promoted him from my taxi squad... start benching him guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bankerboy Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 It also appears that he needs to learn where his hot reads are..and to take the occassional pass to the RB. Once he figures it out, he definitely looks like he'll be amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bankerboy Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 His RB's had 12 receptions of his 28 completions I'll have to go back and take a look. Yes, he had passed to his RBs...I meant to say "check/downs" v. designated plays... Maybe the forced throws this week jaded my memory a bit...you may be right.
