I will do my personal best to keep all bias out of this article seeing as I have ownership of Cam Newton in 75% of my leagues.
Fuck Cam Newton.
Dating back to the 2018 season, Cam Newton has failed to score a touchdown in four straight games now. In that span, he’s averaging 6.0 yards per target. He’s thrown seven interceptions over his last five games, and in the two games, we’ve seen him play this year he’s totaled a WHOPPING -2 rushing yards on five carries.
Fuck him. He fucking sucks.
Clearly, his shoulder has not fully healed as he’s struggling to throw the ball downfield, and any time he does, it’s generally 5-10 yards off from his intended target. It looks like he’s shot-putting the ball downfield using all elbow/arm instead of trying to actually use his shoulder in a normal throwing motion.
It’s also evident that he’s not completely over his foot injury from the preseason game against the Patriots. He’s not running anymore which made him a lock for Top 10 QB finish each year. Take away his rushing numbers and he becomes a top ten QB only once in the past eight seasons.
Basically, Newton currently looks like a complete shell of his former MVP-self. He’s not healthy, and if you watched last Thursday’s game you could see his demeanor/attitude was so piss poor. It’s like he didn’t even want to be out there. It even looks like he’ll get that wish by missing this week’s game in Arizona and possibly more.
But by all means, keep dressing like an absolute DOUCHE for these games while putting up shit numbers. I honestly cannot wait to hate cut the everlasting shit out of you. Asshole.
