Cam's QB Ratings

[Seltzer]

Cam is the 12th rated QB on PFF.  Their evaluation is still done by a 3rd party that is not privy to what the coaches wanted, assignments, etc., but it is surely a much better evaluation than ESPN's QBR.  The eyeball test would tell you Newton has played about like the 12th best QB in the league through 2 weeks much more than a guy near the bottom.

I really don't believe any evaluation (or anything really) done by ESPN at this point is a legitimate endeavor.  ESPN creates narratives, and then frames the story to fit.  ESPN cares about ratings, and the longer they go on the more apparent it becomes.  I don't think they even try to hide it for the most part, outside of John Clayton and a few others who I guess are supposed to help them maintain a modicum of football knowledge legitimacy.  Football injuries and controversies are the prevailing content for any segment on football.  Seriously, outside of the primetime games and the high ratings generating teams, I don't think ESPN even shows worthwhile highlights from games anymore that would actually allow you to understand how the game went outside of a couple splash plays (and this doesn't just include the Panthers).  Most Panthers coverage is relegated to injuries or controversies.  The most coverage the Panthers got last year was Newton's injuries (primarily the automobile crash)

I don't believe in ESPN's QBR either. It's a complete joke.

Cam is a top 7 quarterback.

Speaking of QB ratings..... LOL!  Gotta give David Newton some credit for actually following up this angle that we were all joking about ("Russian judge gives him a 3" etc...).  Makes for a really fun read.

I enjoyed the article. This HAS to be the best article David Newton has ever written.

It wasn't hard to top his others.

My QBR goes by the win column. Through 2 games, the win column is also 2. 

So Cam's QBR is 100%. Hot dog, that's pretty good.

I'll take wins and a healthy Cam Newton over padded stats and a loss anyday. We all  watch the games and know how much having him on the field makes us more competitive. This team usually takes a good bit of the season getting their gears turning. So, no worries.

[KillaCamNewton]

And Marcus Mariota has the highest in the league and Andrew Luck's is below 60. Looking at QB stats after 2 games is pointless

Said it before, and will say it again.

 

I don't think that Cam will ever light up the stat sheet...just not the type QB that he is.  He will be effective, and we can win without 30 TD passes per year.  Check out Elway's early career stats.

I don't recall seeing Cam throw 3 INTs  and committing a fumble.

There was another thread where a poster mentioned where our #1 WR currently ranks in receiving yards.

With 95 yards, Ginn is 67th in receiving yards, with 6 of all those players ahead of him being running backs.

wow

[Cammmmm]

The stat I love the most is 2-0.
