Over the last 3-4 seasons, this narrative has emerged that Cam Newton is a “running quarterback” and many experts question his ability to succeed as a pocket passer. Mike Shula’s scheme and personnel didn’t do Cam Newton many favors, though in 2015 Cam Newton did win the NFL MVP award and you’d have thought that would silence the doubters.
