how long have you been watching football?
it doesnt seem like you have been watching very long. you dont seem to understand how momentum, chemistry, and development work. or how the opposing team can change its defense up when a tradition QB is in there because they dont have to guard against the zone read. it frees an extra eafety or LB up to fly around and make plays. that wouldnt have been good in wet conditions and a QB that hadnt taken first team reps in preparation for this game. not to mention that his carear TD/INT ratio is 53/55..... in addition, where did i say cam wasnt a team first player.
also, im not too sure you watched the same game i did.
cam newton IS our young QB. saying otherwise is just silly. he is 25 years old and has only played football at a high level for 5 years. his maturity along with his football skills are still developing, and it was his FIRST playoff win. the momentum we got from him finishing the game is far more valuable than your theory that he could have been hurt worse.that is the type of player cam newton is, and he has been displaying those character traits all his career. it is funny that you dont understand this, yet i am the person that hasnt been watching all season. good joke kid, i literally have every game from the last 5 years on my external hard drive.
the reason i was so aggressive is you sounded like all the other ignorant "bring derreck anderson in" fanboys that populated the panthers forums all season and im honestly sick and tired of it. if he was as good as all you fanboys keep saying, he would be starting for another team. even in his pro bowl campaign he wasnt that good of a QB, he just managed to get the browns to 10 wins. that is impressive i will give him that, but the only reason he actually made the pro bowl was that brady bowed out, lol. he got 29 of his 53 carear TDs that season....
name another team that would have done what you are suggesting in a playoff game. there arnt any, so why should the panthers have? they shouldnt. it is playoff football. a 2 TD lead aint fluff. watch a little more and maybe you will learn yourself something. you dont change up the chemistry in the middle of a game when your season is on the line. that is idiotic, sorry. almosy as idiotic as taking one of your best players out of the game before you have won it because you are planning ahead. that is kind of like running before you catch the football. it usually doesnt end well.
