NFL.com lists: 3 guys give their top 10 QBs

Bucky Brooks, Elliot Harrison and Dave Dameshek give their top 10 QBs for the 2015 season.  One of these three have Cam on their list.  Who can it be?  My blind bet would be Brooks, he often has a soft spot for the Panthers.  NOPE.  His is probably the worst list of them all with Big Ben at #2 and Russell Wilson at #4 (wtf?!).  Elliot Harrison?  Uh uh.  His list is more realistic than Brooks' but Alex Smith at #10 is even worse than Russell Wilson at #4.

Our good buddy Dave Dameshek has Cam at a respectable #7, and even goes the extra mile by admitting what many pundits are scared to say these days:

7) Cam Newton, Carolina Panthers

Owning the mythical Best Rookie Season Ever and back-to-back NFC South titles doesn't do justice to his distinct skill set. Now that Newton's got two big WRs, his (in)accuracy issues should continue to dissipate.

If a healthy and happy Cam goes off this year? We are talking MVP. Oh...and probably three time winner of the NFCS with, dare I say, Playoff Success.

 

This team is pretty well set up to allow Cam to take us anywhere he can lead us.

 

A happy, and truly healthy Cam should be a scary thought for anyone not a Panther fan. And judging from early reports, he is looking as good as ever.

There was a time when I thought Bucky Brooks was a decent scout, but over time I've come to realize he's not that good.  And yes, that realization came before I read this list.

Dameshek is a Steelers guy, so Roethlisberger is always gonna be top of his list.  I have little doubt that if he thought he could get away with putting Roethlisberger over Aaron Rogers, he would.

The thing I see honestly on all three lists is that their top quarterbacks aren't necessarily the best, they're mostly just  the most hyped.  Dameshek including Newton?  I wouldn't bet he believes that much in him.  Probably just trying to be different.

Not a fan of these lists, or these writers.

How much of what these talking heads have to say is pandering to what the most neutral fans want to hear and then throwing in a controversial/unusual topic/prediction/opinion every now and then to stand out or appeal to certain fan bases.

Very much like this:

 

"Verrrry P**sy!"

Imma be honest y'all underrate the poo out of Russ around here

I like Wilson's future a lot, but he is a game manager who has benefitted greatly by having a dominant defense and run game.  It kind reminds me of Tom Brady early on when he won his first Super Bowls.  He has a long way to go imo to get out of the Andy dalton tier of game manager qbs, but definitely has the leadership qualities to do so.  As of right now, he is definitely not a top 5 qb.

​Funny you say that.... 

Dave posted a pic of the rookies yesterday and was complaining about the Browns uniforms on the Twitter. I being the person I am responds with something to the effect of well yeah but we all know the Panthers have the greatest uniform of all time don't we Dave?

Here's where things get weird... the dude private messaged me. "You poor thing. Surly you have better things to do." I actually like Dave and think he gives our team a fair shake. I told him I was just giving him poo and told him what I think he gives our team a fair shake. He responded with he LOVES Cam and (this part threw me off) the game day experience in Charlotte.... but all he really wanted to focus on was those damn uniforms and our reaction during that tourny.

I explained to him we are a small fan base with an inferiority complex so the fact he never finished the story and crowned us champions really got under our skin (according to him some of y'all went after him hard lol) He told me someone screwed with the voting blah blah blah.... so yes he never finished it cause someone made a bot and to him was cheating BUT he did give praise to Cam. And I don't think he would just randomly throw that out there.

^ cool story bro.

and I'm not being facetious.

I did like Dameshek before the whole uniform controversy.  Think he's a funny guy.  Didn't like being done dirty with the uniform thing though, surely he realizes that with that many votes we weren't the only ones using less than honorable means....

Cam is def a top 10 QB if Wilson is. I've seen QBs do better in other systems with better talent but not do what Can does with the ball. Cam is not Rogers or Manning in his prime but he is just as good as the others and getting better. Both team wise and skill.

Yeah I think his biggest hang up is that someone botted the votes... which was technically not against the rules since you could vote as many times as you want. 

But yes that pissed us all off and later in that back and forth I called him out on it. But it is what it is. He does give the Panthers as a whole a fair shake but if you look at what I said and what he responded with you can see how national media AND fans from the older bandwagon teams (in this case the Steelers) view our team. I said Panthers he responds Cam.... people outside of the Carolina's only see Cam when it comes to our team for better or worse.

    • i think i go in the opposite direction of most. my ideal retirement is living in some old downtown area in a flat above some shop or something.  life out in the country was just something i got real tired of. My kids actually miss some of living out there, which i understand. that was where they grew up for the most part. 40 acres with a 2.5 acre pond. it was beautiful, but also way too much (and too expensive) for me to keep up with. 
    • FLASHBACK: I remember back when ESPN was just starting--he was their anchor.  They used to show stuff like Rodeo and field hockey--I remember laughing when he went to a commercial mocking a cycling competition in Utah (or something similar--I made that up) and I laughed.  I told my dad, "We may have us a new anchor when we get back from commercial."  When they came back from commercial, Berman was looking very serious and he said, "Any comments by me do not reflect the views of ESPN....The men and women who cycle are dedicated athletes and we are honored to shine light on their sport." (Paraphrasing).  Dad laughed hysterically. My first memory of him--and that was like 1980.
    • Might not have a team without them. Although that probably applies to the Panthers, too.
