Let's present a scenario.

There is a starting QB that has 28 total touchdowns, over 4,000 total yards, and is his teams leading rusher on the season. Despite losing his TE for half the season and having to throw to practice squad level WR's on top of being unable to establish a run game through the RB's throughout the season he still manages to direct his team to 11 wins and a playoff berth.

Would you praise that QB for his ability to overcome significant odds or would you nitpick his game at every opportunity and claim he is above criticism because all those odds that were stacked against him and his offense finally came crashing down on everyone in the final game of the season?

We are going to add in his rushing stats and you get on people for defending CMC with all purpose stats. 

I'm not saying Cam is a bad player. But in  the context of this thread, he had one of the worst seasons of his career as a passer and last year was about the same. Dorsey doesn't come off as someone that can demand respect from Cam. I would prefer to see new coaches on offense that can get more out of this offense.

You couldn't wait to make that dubious comparison could you?

First of all, one player is a QB who is literally carrying the offense, the other is a RB drafted 8th overall whose actual rushing yardage is so low people are throwing in his special teams yardage to boost his numbers.

Man you've gotta come with something better than this. Geesh.

Fans here on the huddle are even to this day nearly a decade later still hesitant to want to include Cam's rushing totals in when evaluating him as a QB. So seeing someone who is also an outspoken Cam Newton critic to the point he even questions his work ethic trying to posture to me about CMC getting treated unfairly regarding his own total yardage is so ironic I just can't even handle it right now lol.

      Texas A&M Nic Scourton vs. Purdue Nic Scourton

      I’m honestly not trying to argue with you or talk bad about Scourton, I like him and I’ve watched all of his Purdue stuff/videos you linked previously. Just like I’ve watched all of Princely’s Florida stuff I’m only pointing out the weight thing because I’m excited about the idea of him being 255-260 and being more of a stand up edge here in Carolina like he was at Purdue versus at A&M And like you, I have a crap load of experience doing the whole cutting/weight/fitness thing and I know how crappy/sluggish I feel when I’m holding as little as an extra 8-10lbs of unnecessary weight. So for Scourton to come out and say he’s 255-260 now and feels good that’s exciting based on what he’s put on film at 280 and not feeling his best

      I hate seeing this. I'm not sure he was ever going to make it in the NFL without the injury but that injury knocked FSU out of the college football playoffs and cost him and them and opportunity on the biggest stage in college sports. The injuries are the worst part of this game. They've created a nearly unending list of "what ifs". Hell, every HS, college, and pro team out there has a long list of them. It's also a good reminder that there's no such thing as a routine major injury. Even though sports medicine has improved dramatically in recent decades, major injuries are still somewhat of a coin flip on how a guy is going to emerge from it.

      I don't know what Texas A&M was doing with their edge rushers. They had two freaks in Scourton and Shemar Stewart and yet instead of turning them loose they asked them to play 20 lbs overweight and just set the edge. That's full-on coaching malpractice at any level. Much was made about Shemar Stewart's lack of sack production, but while he wasn't my favorite prospect this year a lot of that was clearly what they were asking him to do. The good news with Scourton is that, unlike Stewart, did manage to be a huge factor as a pass rusher despite this and despite playing 20 lbs overweight. If he can stay around 260-265 it should help him re-gain some of that explosiveness from his Purdue days.
