Panthers: Cam Newton 'Doesn't Need Changing' 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Fri Feb 16, 2018 2:54 pm

The Carolina Panthers don't want Cam Newton to change the way he plays.

New quarterbacks coach Scott Turner doesn't want to see Newton's unique talents going to waste.

"What he has done has really refined his game, really become a pro, but he's going to play his way," Turner said. "He's going to run -- that's what makes him the dynamic player he is -- but also making the throws in the pocket, going through his reads. All of those things come from experience, and he's played seven seasons now."

Newton has struggled with fits of inaccuracy during his career. For his career, he has a 58.5 completion percentage. The past two seasons he averaged a 56 percent completion rate on 1,002 pass attempts.

"A lot of things go into that -- your eyes, your feet and ultimately your decision making. If you can get those three things down in regards to your completion percentage, a lot of times instead of trying to make the high-degree-of-difficulty throw, you can get the ball to the back or tight end," Turner said. "He doesn't need changing; he just needs to be the best version of Cam Newton."
