I'll be the first to tell you that he has been night and day this season. Sometimes he takes the field and plays lights out, and sometimes he takes the field and looks like a Rookie in his first game (even though he did exceptional in his first ever NFL game). Granted, the last 3 teams he's played haven't been world beaters on defense (Philly, Kansas City, and Tampa Bay), but he's picked up his play pretty well.

vs Tampa Bay
Passing: 16/29, 252 yards, 1 touchdown
Rushing: 11 rushes, 40 yards

@ Philly
Passing: 18/28, 306 yards, 2 touchdowns
Rushing: 14 rushes, 52 yards, 2 touchdowns

@ Kansas City
Passing: 15/27, 232 yards, 3 touchdowns
Rushing: 7 rushes, 78 yards

After seeing all of that, however, I'd say the most important stat is the fact that he hasn't thrown any interceptions OR fumbled one time during that span of games.

Let's try to keep flames to a minimum and have a real discussion for those that decide to comment.

It's easy to succeed when there is no pressure and nothing to play for.

He sucked when it mattered.

When is he getting out of Carolina? I can't wait to see him with a real team, doing damage.

Nothing is wrong with cam.

The supporting cast on offense is below average. Smith catches the hard passes and drops the easy ones. The fat fullback is a better weapon than the overpaid runningbacks. The best receiver is the tight end. The oline is patched together. The defense is the worst in the league. Rivera needs to be fired, terrible coach.

It's not Cam's fault Ron Rivera is a moron.

Cam Newton is a damn good NFL QB, but this year, he hasn't done shite against good competition. It's not saying much if he dominates teams like Kansas City and Philadelphia, those teams are terrible.

What.. that's not very impressive.

Tampa has the worst secondary in football and he went 16/29 250ish and only 1 td and no rushing td?
