ESPN has 10 QB's above Cam for this season.


Recommended Posts

11. Carolina Panthers

There are so many questions around Cam Newton right now, not least of which is his timetable for recovery from offseason shoulder surgery. One season after he rampaged his way to a Super Bowl and a league MVP award, Newton saw his completion percentage dip to a Mark Sanchez-ian 52.9. The worst season of Newton's career coincided with fresh concerns about his ability to protect himself -- and the ability of his team and the officials to protect him -- on the field. The shoulder surgery this offseason kept those concerns front of mind.

Carolina's backup situation is better than those of the other teams in this tier, given that Derek Anderson seems to know how to keep the ship afloat when Newton can't play. But the Panthers sit behind Indy and Seattle in our rankings because the health concerns with Luck and Wilson are projected, while Newton's are current.

1. Pats

2. Rodgers

3. Matt Ryan

4. Matt Stafford

5. Big Ben

6. Drew Brees

7. Rivers

8. Eli

9. Luck

10. RW

Gotta write about something....so pull things out arz to get clicks. If most of the guys ahead of him had the same Oline and WR Corp Cam did, they would have shat the bed too.

Ryan, Stafford, Luck?  Ummmmm... NO, lol.

RW and Rivers?  Debatable.

Brady, Rodgers, BB, Brees, and Eli?  Probably.

Lotta clicks for whiny butthurt panther fan bitches.

 

I would have him around 9-10. Ryan went to the Super Bowl last year and was pretty damn good, so currently he is the better QB, title is THIS season projections.

 

For ESPN this is pretty accurate. Why the hell would they rank him higher because he had a bad shoulder but supposedly would have done better if not? Rankings have little to do with subjective fanboy bullshit just like the other QBs.

What do 7 of those 10 have on common? Lost their last head-to-head with Cam.

The only QB's I have a real issue being rated higher are Luck and Stafford.  Neither have accomplished anything.

Wilson, Rivers, Ben (health reasons), Ryan and Eli are debatable IMO.

Brady, Rodgers and Brees are reasonable.

Cam should be 9th at worst.  I'd personally put him at 8. 

Brady, Rodgers, Brees, Ryan, Rothlisberger, Eli, Wilson, Cam, Rivers, Stafford and Luck.

Eh doesn't really move the needle of importance for me. He had a bad year. Most media won't give Cam the benefit of the doubt when it comes to injuries, oline and lack of weapons. That should be obvious by now. They will give Luck, Eli and Rivers all the excuses in the world but would never dream about doing that for Cam. 

Everyone is saying that Cam will never get back to the 2015 form. To that I will steal a line from one of Cams interviews and of course a great song. "If you don't believe me, just watch."

    • 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.
    • If Canales has helped Bryce a “poo ton” and this is what we have then what’s the fuging point? And the offense wasn’t humming with Dalton in there either, except against the raiders who’ll likely be firing their coach after this season.  XL is probably the fourth best looking receiving option on the team right now behind thielen, Coker, and sanders. I don’t think anyone would disagree with that. Who cares about total receiving yards when everyone else has missed time and there’s like 180 yards of receiving a game to go around   and lmao they were “believing” shut the fug up. They lost and for the most part those games were all the defense shutting down the other team. The chiefs turned around and gave up an actual impressive stat line to Aiden O’Connell and I not even the most delusional raiders fans think that means anything. Bryce did nothing against the eagles, the Bucs are a mash unit, and any one of us could have done that Bryce did against the giants and saints.  And as far as who they’d get, they didn’t have any trouble hiring the guy you’re tripping over yourself to defend. They also could have hired Dan Quinn, who’s actually succeeding with a young qb.  And people are acting like the risk of getting paid for not working for five years is a negative. Canales is going to spend the next half a decade getting paid to watch porn in his Bible camp office.
    • the Dallas game definitely quelled the hype. his biggest issue will always be his size, and that shows when he gets sacked. he's simply not big or strong enough to protect the ball. even in the KC game, he fumbled it on a basic sack and thank god icky landed on it. INT's are going to happen, most fans don't understand that tipped balls and wrong routes account for most interceptions. but the wet-bar-of-soap type fumbles upon contact are a huge reg flag. the common theme with players like Darnold and Mayfield who previously played for us and are now excelling makes me want to practice patience more when it comes to the QB position. I think Bryce bought himself another season, perhaps with more weapons. I do like the idea of adding a QB whether that's a FA or mid round rookie. if the same mistakes occur next season and we see no further growth or most importantly, wins, then it will be time to move on. just a quick reminder though, football is not an individual sport. QB is just one position, albeit the most important.
