Cam Newton The Lebron James of the NFL

I have to agree. When you look at the pure talent and all the things he mentioned he is the closest thing to LeBron James this league has ever seen. How lebron can play multiple positions most people say cam could be successful at tight end maybe even running back. But wins in the NFL are more about team than nba. One person doesn't just carry a team. Sorry still struggling to embed if some one could give me a hand...

Cam's physical attributes AND athleticism are probably unmatched by any other QB in the league.  But judging by his W-L record, what's between the ears is what he's lacking.  However, at least there has been improvement with Cam on his mental side, but it's definitely his biggest hang-up.

​The teams overall win/loss record tells you that he's lacking in football intelligence?

​If he's the most physically talented QB in the league, but yet he falls short where it matters (W-L), then yes.  It's no secret that Cam's football IQ is ho-hum at best.

The biggest difference is something DG pointed out in a press conference about players he wants to add... Cam HATES to lose. Absolutely hates it and can't stand it. He'll do everything in his power to get a win for the team, put his body on the line, and he's willing to fight and die for that inch (in the words of Al Pacino). LeBron doesn't have that winning mentality. He gives up on plays when calls don't go his way, he has only won championships by bringing in the best instead of beating the best, not by giving it everything possible, etc.. Cam can physically be compared to LeBron, certainly. But he compares mentally to guys like Jordan, Isiah Thomas (pretty much that whole Bad Boys team), etc. Not LeBron. Cam is Jordan's mindset in LeBron's body.

​No secret amongst who exactly? Would you care to offer some examples?

Newton obviously has things to improve on, accuracy mainly, but I haven't heard anyone (except trolls) calling into question his football IQ.

​There are threads on this very forum that site sources where Cam's audible "permission" is very limited.  All you have to do is watch game film of Rogers, PM, Brady and you'll see a major difference.  They can dissect the defense at the line and adjust accordingly at the line.  Either Cam can't do it (as well) or isn't allowed to do it as much.  I can be pro-Cam and still be critical without being a troll.

    • You and I both know there isn't a coach we could or can still hire that can "fix" Bryce Young. Even at mighty Alabama with one of the best modern coaches in college football history Mac Jones was still a better QB than Bryce Young. Mac Jones.... We already know how you feel about Canales on a personal level so in that regard you wanting him fired is not news. You don't have to disguise it behind this shroud of rabble about not fixing Bryce Young. To his credit he somehow had us competive against the Chiefs and the Eagles on the road with #9. But no coaching staff can overcome their starting QB turning the ball over 4 times. We definitely have developed some of our younger offensive pieces. And as far as Evero goes he has earned criticism and if he's fired so be it but in his defense many of us said in the offseason this defensive roster was a disaster waiting to happen given the resources we spent on the offense while neglecting the defense. That was Dan Morgan's plan. He swung too hard toward offense to salvage the Bryce Young trade. That's on him. We can scream about XL all we want but at least he's actually been on the field for the most part. The Brooks pick was a luxury pick at the time and now it is a Hurney level blunder. Dan Morgan has gotten a lot of early praise here when in reality he's unequivocally deserving of significant criticism. But if you say that some people get up in arms because he's a former Panther. Big whoop. He has just as much to prove this upcoming season as Canales. That's why to me in my own personal opinion I say one more season and then if it's more of the same say goodbye to both.
    • It's a decent vid with compelling reasons for his opinion. But, my thing is is that you simply can't draft McMillan thinking he is a surefire WR1. There are questions. His 40---rightly or wrongly---will play a part. I'd think that his splits (which will speak more to his game translating to the pros in my mind) are more important.  As much as you're trying to sell us that McMillan is a don't-overthink-it-type-of-player, I wouldn't say that's the case. Workouts will play a part in all of this.  At this point, I like the thought of Tetairoa. That's as much as I can give you right now.
