Cam Newton career stats vs Seattle

rightbench · Jan 12, 2016

Cam Newton vs the Seahawks in 5 career games.

2012 Week 5: 12/29 41.38% for 141 yds 0 td 0 int 7 rushes 52 yds

2013 week 1: 16/23 69.57% for 125 yds 1 td 0 int 5 rushes 38 yds

2014 week 8: 12/22 54.55% for 171 yds 0 td 1 int 12 rushes 24 yds

2014 week 18: 23/36 63.89% for 246 yds 2 td 2 int 11 rushes for 37 yds

2015 week 6: 20/36 55.56% for 269 yds 1 td 2 int 7 rushes for 30 yds

I just don't see this guy being scary for us. I think he has the potential to make big plays, but he's never really done anything vs Seattle. If our defense can tackle running backs like they did last week and keep Carolina out of 3rd and 1 or 2, and force Cam to pass, it seems like he should remain within his averages against us.

They haven't added any weapons. If anything, their RB is a bit hobbled from his foot injury and Tedd Ginn has been hurting to.

On paper and based on recent history, we should expect Cam to have a line of:

16.6/29.2 56% completion for 190 yards 0.8 TD 1 Int and 8.4 rushes for 36.2 yards.

I completely understand that paper has nothing to do with Sunday morning but with 5 games in 4 years against essentially the same exact defense, this is an average day for Cam. Not really scary. 3 of the games in these statistics were home games as well.

Each game these teams have played since 2012 have come down to 1 or 2 plays.

Wouldn't be surprised if it's the same way Sunday.

2012 he played bad. It was also eons ago in Cam's development.

2013 don't let the numbers fool you. He played well with limited possessions against a great D and easily coulda/woulda/shoulda won the game. Olsen had some uncharacteristic drops.

2014 he had busted ribs and an ankle coming off surgery that had just been twisted by Burfict. Benjamin also had a TD drop in addition to the spectacular catches. The Panthers OL was also much worse and the Hawks, simply put, were better. In the playoffs he was a mere month removed from the car accident. Cam took chances and lost but I don't think he deserved the lions share of the blame.

Cam doesnt need great numbers to win. Dude is a playmaker, and it only takes a couple timely big plays to win. Or a great quarter (week 5, ugh).

My post was simply to say that in my opinion, we match up and play against Cam very well, every time we see him. I hear so many Panthers fans saying they're going to win by 3 or 4 scores.

As with every other game against them, I see it being a 1 possession game all the way through and winner probably is the team who scores at the end of the 4th.

It was week 6, because we were on a bye on week 5. Which is the same case for this game... As some are saying it only takes one or two 2 plays to win a game.

Sounds like someone else we know.

If "so many" Panther fans have said that, then "so many" Panther fans are morons.

If I remember correctly, only twice (2014 Week 2 at SD by 9—2015 Week 2 at GB by 10) have we lost a game by more *than 1 score since the Pete/Wilson era started.

*Edit: clarification

rightbench · Jan 12, 2016

I agree. Rather hilarious that most every team's fans say they're gonna blow us out. How many seasons of it not happening does it take for LOL to immediately have to follow a statement.

12thbrah · Jan 12, 2016

Hawks are one of the few teams that have the personnel to limit Cam. Cam had an MVP year but he's been feasting on cupcake defenses since week 6.

Both sides are doing this, not just one...

There's goofs in both fanbases no doubt. But we hear this every week how this time will be the time their team does X or Y and it'll be enough to blow out the Hawks. I think most every rational fan would agree that this will be a knock down drag out 3 or 7 point victory outside of fluky Turnovers or something not truly in either teams control.

Until 1 team or the other pastes their opponent, it's silly to think otherwise.

I disagree with the bolded part. The Hawks are the same they've been for the last few years. If you're going to advise us not to let the Cam numbers fool us, I'm going to have to make the same caution to you about our record. Those extra losses are a byproduct of partly luck and randomness, and partly a weak link that is no longer on the team (Cary Williams). In each of the last few years we've played several games where an unfortunate bounce could have lost us the game. We could've been 10-6 in any of those years with this year's luck. It can happen to anyone. Conversely, the Panthers have had most of the breaks go their way this year. For a 15-1 team, they've been in a lot of close games. They've won 7 games that were decided by one score. Bad luck could've turned any of those into losses.

We finished the regular season #1 in DVOA at 38%. Last year we finished #1 in DVOA at 31.9%. In 2013, we were #1 at 40%. In 2012, we were #1 at 38.7%. I'm not touting this stat as a reason we'll win, just as evidence that we are the same team we've been the last few years.

2015 week 6: 18/30 60.00% for 241 yds 1 td 0 int 8 rushes for 53 yds (QBR: 96.7)

Total: 97/142 68.31% for 1249 yds 7 td 3 int 24 rushes for 107 yds 0 td (QBR: 104.3)
Record: 3-1

**Bonus stat**:
Seahawks average margin of victory in regular season games: 2.25 points
Seahawks margin of victory in the one playoff game they've played in so far: 14 points

Playoffs are a completely different story, my friends. All that other regular season trash goes out the window. That'll be the x-factor, who's got the stones to play big boy football come playoff time?
