Newton apparently posted a relatively low ESPN's Total QBR rating (56.6, ranked 16th). He also posted a 4.2 percent "bad decision rate" which was 5th highest in the league. While I agree that defenses were affected due to the lack of OTA's and got lit up early in the season by passers around the league, Cam was limited by the shorten off season as well but I guess that doesn't matter huh?
