Cam Newton Stats - Passing: Dispelling The Myth He’s A “Runningback Playing QB”

[OneBadCat]

The running QB thing still gets tossed around quite a bit. It’s just an ignorant way of throwing shade at Cam.

Cam is probably the most unique QB in the game. I think you have to look at him differently when you judge his game. Is he as polished as I would like as a passer? Probably not but he’s shown he can put up 35 passing TDs. 

If Cam was strictly a passing QB then he wouldn’t be utilizing the talent that makes him so dangerous. Sometimes the threat of his running ability also opens up the passing game. No other QB has that kind impact on the field.

Not only that but he has shown time and time again that the most important stat for him is wins.  He is a cheat code of a QB. Who is so dangerous that what he does on the field looks simple and cut and dry but really he is a master of his own game.

Cam has had plenty of weapons. Two 1,000 yard targets and a 1,000 yard back...2015 his weapons were good enough for the Super Bowl. Cam has been given the greatest weapon n of all that QBs like Brees and Brady never had, an elite defense. Can you imagine Brady with an elite defense. Or this QB with that or this or blah blah blah. Not every QB has a complete team and the elite ones don’t need it to win. 

The only things Cam has not been given is a oline over the years. If you want to call Cam elite he is going to elevate players like Brady and Brees and make them look like weapons but in reality this forum blows up dumb poo about Cam and no weapons.

Oline a sub par coaching/scheme are the issues with Cam.

I’d like to submit into the evidence one Ted Ginn, Jr.   The defense rests, your honor.

They just can't stand for Cam to receive praise for ANYTHING.  Bitter bastards.

lol no one says that. I generally find your posts to be entertaining and fairly informative but, here, your premise is flawed and your thread is unnecessary.

You think Vick was an rb that sometimes threw? He was a pretty good QB, especially that year he came back for Philly - Actually, his completion percentage that year was higher than any that Cam has ever posted. There rushing yards per season looks the exact same aside from two years where Vick posted 900 and 1000. 

 

Edit: I will agree with you on the notion that there isn't much happening in this organization that is helping him out.

For today’s supposed “Michael Vick” - a runningback who throws sometimes - Cam Newton has been doing great so far in his career.

So far, Cam Newton has played in 103 career NFL games. His passing yards have landed him in the top 15 all time for other quarterbacks in the same timespan.

As far as passing yards before quarterbacks pass the age of 29, he beats our Aaron Rodgers, Eli Manning, Ben Rothlisberger, Phillip Rivers, and Tom Brady to name a few. 

He only needs 176 passing yards to surpass Brett Favre in this category.

Just this past Monday night, he surpassed Archie Manning for career passing yards. He’s on pace to creep into the top 20 or higher by the end of his career.

Reminder: if Cam Newton had 2011’s level of talent around him every year, his passingn stats would be beyond the roof and near unfair. So many drops, incompletions, and bad mistakes by his poor cast, and he’s still putting up monster numbers.

Let’s appreciate the fact that Cam Newton’s our QB.

Archie Manning and Dan Marino were the Cam Newton of there times. Good QB's with little talent around them.

Will this board EVER stop trying to defend Cam, hush his critics, or debate anyone who talks smack against him? Jesus. We have an amazing QB. Can't we just enjoy what he does for the team? When will the inferiority complex this board is seemingly saturated with end?

Maybe the Cam "defenders" will finally retire when his haters in the NFL media and in his own goddam fanbase finally retire first.

@Still Brooklynbeing one of the long-time perfect examples.

Brady's never had an elite defense?  Lol what?

Brady's had a top 10 defense for most of his career bro.  Some crazy poo like 13 years he's had a top 10 defense to back him up.  Several of those years it was top 3 in the league or outright the best in the league.

Brady has also had the greatest thing a QB could ever have his entire career too.  An elite head coach.  And not just any elite head coach... but possibly the greatest fuging head coach of all time.

And Brees had a pretty damn elite defense in 2013.  It was like top 3 or top 4 in nearly every category that year IIRC.  They finished 11-5, 2nd place in the division and got knocked out in the divisional round.  Had a top 5 defense in 2010 and finished 2nd place in the division, 11-5 and knocked out in the wildcard round.

Hell, speaking of coaches I'd take Mr. Vicodin over Rowboat Ron any day of the week and twice on Sunday.

Even though they filmed our poo and cheated you can see the Pats defense who shut us down in the first half of the SB. They win by FG...seems like a defensive game to me. They also played this team called the Greatest Show on Turf....you don't beat TGSoT with trash defense.

Anyone still clinging to this idea that Cam is a RB playing QB is just too damn dumb to be helped.

Love me some Cam, but its hard to judge this list with all the changes in the rules to help the QB.  Notice most on this list are still active.

I like Cam as well, but some of the qb's played when defenders could mug a receiver.
