Panthers Don't Know What To Do With Cam
The Carolina Panthers lost opening day after having a defensive gem but the offense was as good as a piece of coal. Cam Newton is the so called modern day pro quarterback. Accuracy lacking he is liable to miss a wide open receiver by five yards or run fifty for a score. Don't know whether they are scared he's going to get hurt but it just seems to me they have a bit in Cam's mouth just like you would use on a horse.
My question would be why. I am of the belief that if we are going to spend all week preparing to win why not try to win on Sundays. The Panthers seemed content to look good losing. He might get hurt but I would turn him loose like RG3 was used last year. As a fan I don't mind pulling for a loser as long as they are trying. I don't see that from the Panthers with Cam as quarterback.
1/3 of September is over and Brian Goodwin has yet to be called up to Washington. The reason Harrisburg his AA farm team is playing for the Eastern League champion. They won their first round in four games and Brian had an excellent series. Brian finished the regular season hitting 252 getting 19 doubles 11 triples and 10 homeruns. The playoffs if it goes five games will be over Saturday.
Hobbs Johnson's season is over and I don't know how he could play any better to earn a shot a AA next spring. He made seven appearances once he arrived in Wisconsin pitching 13 innings allowing just one earned run. That is an ERA of .067. He struck out 23 of the 39 batters he got out. Hobbs walked only four and he did not give up as homer all summer. If you add his four appearances while in Helena Montana he pitched 20 innings and gave up 2 earned runs. This all happened after Hobbs pitched a master piece against N C State in the College World Series.
Is the baseball career of Xavier Macklin over? Spending his second summer in three summers in Vermont of the New York Penn league the short season rookie league for those who just signed pro contracts after the June Draft. X was there after having major shoulder surgery and missed all last season. The next to the last game of the season he hit his first pro home run but hit only 155 for season in which he only play one out of three games. I doubt that Oakland will keep him another year.
