Cam was pretty wild in the passing game when he first came out of college. It showed in his first Pro-Bowl. No evidence of it now. I guess his OL is blocking pretty well for him. Arizona wasn't covering well. Wasn't jambing them at the line so they ran free all night.
The main reason they lost was it's hard to throw an accurate pass with a dislocated index finger. Carson Palmer kept throwing into double-coverage with no accuracy. This was their bread and butter during the season, but it bit them in the ass because of inaccurate passing. Every pass amounted to a Hail Mary.
Do you think there was a "choke" factor involved? (Carson Palmer)
I think any team would have lost to the Panthers, they played well in all areas. The line held well, Cam was on, the running game was excellent. The defense was clicking and reading plays well. The Special teams also play very well. Tough to see a real flaw today.
I can't see anyone still under rating this Panthers team, this is one of the best all around teams in years.
If the cardinals had a quarterback that could have helped them i think the outcome would have at least been close. One thing Manning might not do that Carson seemed to have a problem. Manning might recognize Denver's uniforms.
One thing that Newton does do is almost force the opponet to have someone spy him on every down. Takes away from pass coverage. But we have seen these types of QBs before and they can be stopped.
yeah this time the broncos will be facing a mobile quarterback so they will really have their work cut out for them.
