David Newton outnumbered 1 to 3....

[dpm0409]

The other NFC South ESPN staff writers agree on Julio being the divisions best offensive player......except for David Newton.  While trying to temper your Panthers homerism, what say you?  Agree with Newton or the other writers?  Or a different player all together?

[Jeremy Igo]

Best offensive player? Yeah, probably. 

 

Best overall player is Luke Kuechly.... and its not close.

Julio the best? J_No.24 says:

Best WR?  Yeah I see that.

Best Offensive player?  idk... is he a better offensive weapon than Cam?

Probably not, but its hard to say. Cam has spent most of his career running for his life with no one to throw to. 

 

Who knows what he can really do?

Id put greg olsen up there for offensive player.

All together, yeah gotta go with luke.

[Jangler]

The Panthers are winning because of Cam, how are the Falcons doing with JJ?

and yeah, Luke is the best players on field in most games. Amazing for as young as he is.

Pat Y said Julio is the best player in the division. When did they legalize methamphetamine in Tampa Bay?

[Jase]

Jones career stats against panthers:

19 catches on 46 targets, 317 yards, 3 TDs

It's almost like there are 10 other guys on the field at one time that help determine how well a team does...

[Darth Biscuit]

Probably not, but its hard to say. Cam has spent most of his career running for his life with no one to throw to.

Kind of why these positional comparisons are kind of dumb imo...  can you really compare a WR to a QB?  QB has a lot more chances to impact a game.

[Kurb]

First, fug you guys for getting me to click a ESPN link.

 

Jones is probably a top 4 WR in the league. 
Outside of the game where he killed Green Bay, what other games has he taken over? (honest question)

 

Hard for me to say there is a harder to defend player than Cam Newton.

I agree with this.  It's apples to oranges.  DN might be a little loony sometimes, but he has a solid argument here.

Also known as the game where Green Bay dropped like 38 on them in the first half (38-0 IIRC) , and then just sat back and coasted the rest of the game where Julio tore up a defense that quite literally wasn't even trying anymore.

Falcons and Julio fans have turned that performance, and game, into some sort of myth.  It was annoying how big of a deal they tried to make that game out to be afterwards... lmao I've literally never seen garbage time and stats get bragged about so much.  A game they lost.

They even tried to use that as a reason they were going to whip our asses week 17 last year.
