Cam's just inaccurate and that's an extremely difficult thing to cure. People keep talking about his ceiling and I guess that's fine, but it seems to operate under the assumption that your ceiling is governed by how hard you can throw.
Cam Newton's ceiling will be dictated by his ball placement and through his first 4 seasons in the league, I've actually seen that regress rather than improve. I don't see any utility in talking about his upside until such time as he's able to actually throw a football where he wants to.
If he can't, he's just another Randall Cunningham.
It's really easy to say 'man, if he can just get his accuracy down, he'd be a 250 lb Steve Young' but c'mon; that's like saying that AJ Jenkins could've been Jerry Rice if he'd have just improved his hands. The list of quarterbacks who have moved themselves a full letter grade as a passer is pretty short; most only improve slightly and few improve at all after 4 years of zero gains.

Spot on analysis. His horrible mechanics really showed against the 49ers in that playoff game a few years ago. He might have the worst mechanics out of any starter in the league.
Looking at his stats they are the same as Smith's with more turnovers.
