Cam Newton polls as NFL's most underrated QB by defensive players

Cam Newton may never get the respect of certain talk show personalities. People in the know recognize that he’s one of the league’s top talents, though. Specifically, the guys who are tasked with stopping him.

According to an anonymous poll conducted by writers at the Athletic, 14 percent of defensive players think Newton is the NFL’s most underrated quarterback, more than any other QB. The poll included answers from 85 defensive players from 25 teams. The always criminally overlooked Philip Rivers came in next with 11 percent of the vote, followed by Alex Smith at eight percent. Apparently, Russell Wilson, Mitch Trubisky, Lamar Jackson and oddly enough even Drew Brees got a share of the vote.

Cam gets plenty of respect.  It’s not him, it’s his shoulder.

More than a few defenses we played this season flat out stated they weren’t concerned with anything past ten yards, game planned for it, and were extremely effective doing it.

He also polled 3rd on players they would want in their locker room. 

Seems like everyone loves Cam except Panther fans :thinking:

Not true at all whatsoever. The stadium on game day is about 75% Cam jerseys. The fan base I’d say more than doubled drafting him as well...
