Is Cam Newton Really A Franchise QB

[MurkN]

I know what we could use to clean up this thread.

 

[UpstatePanther]

No. We should trade for Blaine Gabbert asap.

 

i agree. lets get rid of our thuggin, immature, never-be-nobody QB for someone like Andrew Luck or Blaine Gabbert

The question is completly legitimate. That's why it generates such over the top contempt among certain Huddle members.

 

Newton was ranked as the 15th or 16th best QB in the league this year by NFL GM's and scouts.

 

He has never finished higher than 15th in NFL passer rating.

 

He has never finished higher than 14th in Total QBR.

 

He is still young and can obviously improve, but the "breakthrough" season as a consistent pocket QB has not yet materialized.

 

Certainly his mobility gives him a boost, but how long will that continue ?

 

He will be 26 next season with a lot of miles on the odometer. 

 

It will be an interesting dynamic as he seeks a long term contract with a ton of guaranteed money up front.

The only answer to this question that really matters is Dave Gettleman's.

Carolina Panthers general manager Dave Gettleman said Cam Newton has proved he is a franchise quarterback.

"He proved it to me," Gettleman said Tuesday in his first public comments to the media since training camp. "He proved it this year. He flat proved it."

Cam has more total yards, more TD's, a better QB rating and less turnovers than both of the top 2 qb's in league during their 1st 3 years starting

 

So far Cam is headed towards being the GOAT.  I'd consider that being a franchise QB.

It is a totally different league than when they started. Cam is not headed to being an all time great.

This thread is a perfect example of why we need to bring back "neg rep". I don't want to respond. But I want to let it be known it is a stupid thread.

Loved the gifs though. So sometimes a crappy thread has its virtues.

I find it funny how you selectively respond to posts. I and other posters have made some great arguments but you seem to have made up your mind about Cam. So I don't even know why you made this thread.

Clearly some you Panther's fans want a white quarterback.  That's what a lot of you guys are really driving at with your idiotic threads, posts, etc attempting to criticize Cam.  All the hatred that gets heaped on you guys is fully warranted.  The same asshats who make excuses for guys like Sam Bradford will be the same guys not giving Cam an inch of wiggle room.  You guys are pathetic.  Seriously, kill yourselves.

I kind of have to agree. I just find it interesting that the QB the op wants is an unproven QB who just happens to be white. I mean I HATE using the race card, but at this point I don't see what else it could possibly be. NO QB has ever been criticized as much as Cam and that's AFTER Cam has come out and rewritten the record books while getting this team back to the playoffs and while growing the franchises national recognition. I'm sorry, thinking Cam isn't a franchise QB isn't a talent issue, it's a personal issue with the one who holds that opinion. I'm not gonna say you're racist if you think Cam can't be an elite QB, but you don't think that based on his talent and ability, it's something else.

LMFAO!!!!
