I don’t think it’s all doom and gloom for him. He had one hell of a defense throw everything they could at him, and the Broncos got many lucky breaks. The only real issue with Cam was NOT DIVING ON A LOOSE BALL. Otherwise, a great ending to a fabulous season.
He's has more real issues than that, both on and off the field. When he receives even a little pressure, his passes are unusually errant. Way below average for QBs. All year he's had all the time in the world to sit back in the pocket and survey the field. It won't always be that way.
Also his attitude. Did you see his postgame interview? Sulking and standoff-ish. Like a child. Then he bolted in the middle of it. And he's not rookie anymore, so that's no excuse anymore. 5 years in the league now.
There was another play where his running back reversed field and came back to the other sideline.
Newton was standing there, and I said aloud, “C’mon Cam get out in front of him and block.”
Newton’s a big QB, and I’m sure he could have made a difference for his guy working in a broken field.
