David Newton: Cam is earning respect

[top dawg]

OK, when I first saw David Newton's short little piece, like so many others this time of year, I just said "yeah yeah" and said it's barely newsworthy. But then I thought about it, and actually it's pretty damned good. 

 

When your peers think highly of you, especially as an NFL player and QB, it means something.  Not to mention that Cam Newton has legitimately made a great leap on the field from his rookie season, and a huge leap off the field regarding his leadership and maturity.  Kudos to Cam!

 

The two-time Pro Bowl selection came in at No. 24 on the NFL Network's list of the league's top 100 players voted on by his peers. That's up 22 spots from last season. 

 

 

 

Thank goodness that he is ranked higher than Kaepernick! Can I get an Amen?  

 

[Now for the trolling part, which I never do]

 

And thank you, football gods, that he is ranked ahead of the demigod that is Andrew Luck. :P

 

Seriously, Cam deserves the ascension in regards to the respect of his peers.  

 

Now, if only other NFL fans would stop "hating" on Cam due to historical Cam bashing by media sharks and pilot fish...

 

Continue to kill 'em, Cam!

Luck dropped one spot to make room for Cam. Love the irony....irony, right?

 

 

Peer votes. It's seems like anybody that want to complain about the list is just a homer.

Wilson in the teens? Jimmeh could have rode to the SB like Wilson did!

Being likable goes a long way. Wilson is likable...so far. Cam went up because he is likable... Kaep...#81 says something.

To me Wilson is fake and arrogant. You can just look at the guy and you can tell he thinks he's the shiznit.

Don't kid yourself....Wilson is a heck of a qb.

Put him on an average team and then judge him. I've seen Can with absolutely nothing.. No O no D, and he breaks rookie records.

What about Luck? He's on an average team that got worse as the season went on and still got into the playoffs with a good stat season too.

 

 

these comparisons are so silly

 

Wilson has a ring. When Cam gets his ring he should be #1 soon at the rate he is moving up the list.

I respect luck. Luck and Cam are the best young QBs. Kaep and Wilson and ride their stacked team

[Mr. Scot]

Newton's articles are pretty much always worth the read.

We would have beaten Seattle if it wasn't for that unbelievable play by Wilson.  I'm not getting into comparing Newton with Wilson. Obviously I'm a Newton fan. I'm just saying your slightly delusional if you think Wilson is merely average.

Wilson is too damned positive and upbeat IMO. Seems forced. He's the new Peyton Manning when it comes to annoying positivity.

AFC South team vs an NFC South team. apples to oranges. Luck's team is average i agree with that, but he is in arguably the worst division in the NFL. Luck went one and done last year in the playoffs and would have done the same thing again this year if they would have stayed healthy. The chiefs were up 31 to 3 at half time. No Jamal Charles, Knile Davis, Donnie Avery, Brandon Flowers, or Justin Houston. If The chiefs stay healthy they win that game in a blowout.

As soon as Wilson gets paid he divorces his wife. That says something to me.
