Cam just finished his 5th year in the NFL. I'm not saying experience doesn't continue to accrue, but we're well past the steep curve on the Newton learning curve.

Brady was acutely aware of rushers the vast majority of the time.


That's the double-edged sword of the Cam phenomenon. He normally attacks the defense, not the other way. Either he was hurt or they took a terrible gameplan into the game - he didn't attack the defense, he didn't change the game with his feet. The 1 14-yard scramble in the first half was about it for the Cam-type plays. He hit a couple of nice passes but, for the most part, he didn't look like the NFL MVP at all.

Did they run the read option once the entire game?

I think a good bit was on the play calling. Denver has possibly the most ferocious pass rush ever seen. Carolina is the one team in the NFL with the perfect weapon to slow it. Run Cam more. QB draws, that triple option they ran once for 12 yards, some roll outs with a run pass option.

Carolina did almost non of that. It was a straight pocket pass or a run up the middle 95% of the game.
