Title: Cam Looks Lost in First Start Post by: Marshal Dillon on August 20, 2011, 07:28:58 AM I really don't think anyone can expect a rookie to look good, but I think Cam is going to have a whole lot of these kind of days.
Cam Newton appeared hesitant Friday night in his first NFL start. It's not a look he wears well. "Of course my head was spinning many different ways," he said. Newton, the Carolina Panthers' prized rookie quarterback, wasn't a passing or running threat in Friday's 20-10 loss against the Miami Dolphins. In fact, he was a bit timid. He didn't wear that look well, either. http://www.foxsportsflorida.com/08/20/11/Newton-not-yet-ready-for-starting-role/landing.html?blockID=551058&feedID=3722 Title: Re: Cam Looks Lost in First Start Post by: 2Stater on August 20, 2011, 07:41:31 AM Quote Asked if he's done enough to win the starting job, Newton's answer was simple. "No, sir," Understatement of the year! Title: Re: Cam Looks Lost in First Start Post by: Jamos on August 20, 2011, 08:28:28 AM Scam gets no sympathy from me.

I am just guessing but the problem could've been the complexity of the calls from the sidelines. No more #13 plays like he told Gruden on espn. :-\
Title: Re: Cam Looks Lost in First Start Post by: pmull on August 20, 2011, 03:02:12 PM He has never ran an offense that required him to read defenses and make good decisions. At the barn he did not call the plays in the huddle or change plays at the line of scrimmage. All that was done from the bench. It will take him several years to learn what a pro style QB needs to know.
