Cam isn't the rushing QB Mike Vick was...

I really wish they'd stop comparing Cam to Vick.  Cam is a better passer through this point in his career, and he's a different style of runner.  Comparing Vick to Cam would be like comparing Jim Brown to Marshall Faulk, they play the position in totally different ways.  Fact of the matter is that Cam is a very unique talent, and I think instead of us comparing him to other players, we need to realize that in the history of the NFL, there has only been 1 Cam Newton and future QB's of his build and skillset will be compared to him.

Cam is like some ridiculous MEGA fusion of Big Ben and Mcnabb before I compare him to Vick.

I miss those scrappy battles between Dan Morgan, young TD, Pep, Ruck, etc going against the Speed Demon Vick.

A shame Vick had to do what he did. 

Maybe, but I sure as hell don't miss listening to the commentary during those games. My god, listening to commentators  made it seem as if the Panthers were lucky to have Vick grace them with his presence on the field.

Cam is a freak of nature, he's got a top flight running backs talent and skill set in a 6-5 250ilb frame with an explosive arm.

Since he came into the league you can actually compare his rushing numbers to big time running backs. 

But thanks to his position, he doesn't have as much wear and tear.

      Panthers need to move on from Young ASAP

      By strato · Posted

      38 seconds in tells me he is full of poo and is spinning for clicks. You know how they say in court, where if they lie once you can assume they are lying always?  To me Riddick is doing a pretty spiteful thing I think, by putting those words in someone's mouth. Unless he knows that is true. Which I doubt. An honest person would not have said that to Tepper, so he basically assaulting Canales. It is not Canales' fault that Young will not adhere to the the coaching he was obviously given. And of course I am referring to that Buffalo series and the very noticeable footwork change. Evidence that he had the opportunity to be a better player but reverted to his wonky ass 'techniques'. Because it is fuging hard not to. But that is still on Young for not getting that done. And unless he gets it done he is just a fraud. A wannabe NFL quarterback, playing at it. I mean NFL quarterbacks are kicking his ass, even the rookies.  If he works to change this steadily he may be able to get it ingrained in a couple more months. That is as optimistic as I can be for him.  Riddick though, I don't don't listen to sports talk any more except what youtube clips I like but I used to think pretty highly of him. This is pretty sad, to see this scapegoating.  I can put words into Canales mouth too: "Mr Tepper, I have a pretty good feel for working with these guys, and have had some luck with it. You know Baker pretty well. That's my work with him.  But I have to be honest, I'm not sure i can promise I can fix Bryce. He has many challenges. There are things we can do to help but so much of it is up to him. If he is willing to listen and work, I am sure we can make him a better QB. How good will be up to him."   blah blah blah blah

      When dementia gripped my grandmother (and eventually took her), we each spent time with her and would try to correct her to what was reality and what wasn't. It was very tough on my Dad who she lived with for as long as they could care for her.  It seemed like she had become detached from her own timeline and would slide up and down it wildly. As my Dad said, "somedays I'm me to her, somedays I'm my Dad, somedays I'm her father, somedays I'm just the guy who works here. I tried correcting her but it just upset her. I found out that the best thing is to just not correct her and let her live out where ever and whenever she is."  And I'm not going to lie, it gets tough and eventually they leave their own timeline and it becomes unmanageable. Hold on to yourself and the ones you love through it all. Prayers for you and yours, man.
