So . . . About Sunday.

Ma'am, it ain't "guys", it's "guy". Singular.
There are a couple of reasons Newton was shown the door:
-
Newton is a read-option QB. The older those guys get, the hits take their toll and we all know that the best ability in the NFL is availability. Cam is dealing with yet another Lis-Franc problem. One bad step, and he's gone for the season. And he still has the shoulder problem, which I think still affects his throwing.
-
As a read-option QB, Cam admitted he had a problem reading defenses and assigning blocking coverages under the Patriot system. On most NFL teams, the center assigns the blocking coverages, which is why when a team loses their starting center, they fail to cover the spread in the next game 80% of the time. Cam was having to assign blocking and do full-field reads on passing plays. In Carolina, the center assigned blocking and Cam read the Mike and safeties, then went through his progressions on a half field.
Can Cam still play somewhere? Maybe, as a backup. Depends on how bad he wants to play and how bad a team needs him...

My post referred to you and Loki. Guys, plural.
Talk about Cam or anything else footballish if you want. But I'd like it if you left the back-and-forth sniping at the door in here.

Bucs! 48-25, yay them.
In my noob opinion they played the better game, although the Atlanta QB gave them a run for their money. Although those dirty good-for-nothing rotten sonsabitches sacked Brady not once, but twice, may their worthless souls rot in hell forevermore.Other than that, it was fun.
