Cam Newton working to "rebuild" some of his throwing fundamentals

In 2019, then-Panthers quarterback Cam Newton changed his throwing motion following shoulder surgery.

Yeah it feels like Edelman isn’t quite giving him a rousing endorsement here and that says it all. Good luck to him hopefully his next team can benefit.

It’s Mac time baby. The future is here!

Not sure how you can read that article and come away thinking there's no way Cam starts this year. It alleges that he actually is making those improvements Edelman talked about.

It's not even July and I'm burnt out from the speculation.

The actual content comes from Reiss:

Quietly and with little fanfare, Cam Newton had been working with a throwing coach to rebuild some of his fundamentals this offseason. Some who shared a field with him this past week at voluntary Patriots workouts -- the first time players were on the field as the program shifted to its second phase -- noticed a difference. What does it mean in the big picture? The essence of the Patriots' offseason program is teaching-based, with the goal to give every player what they need so they can be in the best position to compete come training camp, so any pure evaluation is premature. But some teammates view Newton as getting off to a nice start last week.

BB seems committed to having Cam be the starter going into the season, so any improvement in his passing is a positive.

At least Cam is admitting to himself that he needs to fix negatives in his game. That’s a good start.

the target is not the ground

I hope he has improved a lot, but the biggest issue is also his decision making. I think he is taking too long to process the field now. It may have been playing with a new scheme last year, but I am not sure. I wish him the best. Who knows what our quarterback position will be at any point this season.

And he needs to.

Key word is “start”. Wish him the best and hope he’s a quick study. But he has never been the kind of QB he’s trying to become and Mac already is. I would not be surprised to see Mac star game 1.

Cam read new Pats LB Judon's comments about Brady grounding the ball and is working to throw more into the dirt.

 

[Wozzy]

They said this last season as well...

 

[Kdo5]

He needs to contrary to the homers who were buying into excuses for his terrible season.

Is the coach named Tom House ? Both Cam and Mac could benefit from working w Dr House

 

[Salsalife]

Makes me very happy to hear the QB coach is working on Cam's mechanics. If i had to add my 2 cents to the coach it would be his soft throws for 5 or 10 yards with touch is his biggest downfall. He had alot of balls batted down last year and so if he could practice a (Lofted ball) that would be awesome. He's got this new Freight train Rhamondre Stevenson and White who can catch short and if Gunner and Bourne can do Eldelman routes we will have a good offense i.m.o. Teams will switch to man and then our New Tight ends can get some throws in the seam. If we had Julio we could really take the top of defenses but he is to expensive now.

Of course he is

 

[VectorPrime]

It’s probably pretty difficult as a 10 year vet to reinvent your throwing motion in one offseason. So yeah I’ll believe it if I see it.

 

[BaconGrundleCandy]

Idk how many times I posted about this last year. Footwork, launch point .. Mechanics were up & down all year - a good part of his career. This isn't his first time going through this. Cam is a streaky player. I have no doubt he'll be better than last year. A healthy, on point Cam is a good problem to have. Even if it's just for a year.

If he's not a lot better, if he's only marginally improved from last year I'm hoping Bill pulls the plug. Offense is set up beautifully and holy smokes the defense could be good.

 

[Wozzy]

He's a "never been that accurate" QB to begin with, after two surgeries on his throwing shoulder.

Age won't end a career in football as quickly as injury will.
