Can’t deny stats 

Real deal .. Cam just needs to show everyone that he can win the big game to solidify a history  of dominance. 

Unfortunately stats and field cred disappear pretty quickly if you don’t have that signature/big baller  win.

The league is different now than it was before and it has changed in a lot of ways.

The times they are a changing. The more things change the more they stay the same. Time may change me but I can"t change time.

Different league now and then 

You’re right it is different, but should that matter? If it were that big of a deal, why does everyone go nuts about Brees breaking Marino’s record a while back? It was a different league back then too right, but not one discredits Brees. Same said for these stats. New players stats are always compared to older players, it’s not uncommon. I’m Cams first 8 years he has less ints than Jim Kelly in his first 8 years. Modern NFL passes way more, so by that logic, wouldn’t Newton have more INTs?

heres their comparisons:

Can't even begin to compare the two.

 

In Montana's first full season as a starter, 2 quarterbacks threw for 4000 plus yards.  In Cam Newton's first season, 10 of them threw for 4000 yards and three threw for 5000.  Of the top 10 qb's yardage wise in 1980, only two of them completed more than 60% of their passes.  In 2011, all of the top 10 completed more than 60%.   In 1980, over half of the top 10 qb's in yards had more than 20 interceptions.  In 2011, only 1 did.    The rules and styles were just different than they are now.

No.

DB's could get away with more, and qb's were far less protected than they are now.   The average starter in Joe Montana's first season had 20 plus int's.   Dan Fouts had 24, and was considered by many to be the best qb in the NFL that year.  In Cam's first season, he had 17 and that was one of the higher numbers in the NFL for starters.

Oh I think Joe is the GOAT and in no way do I think Cam is Montana. I just thought it was a neat comparison and Cam deserves more credit than he gets poo.

I think if Cam's arm is healthy, he is one of the better qb's in the NFL.  

I am just not a fan of comparing qb's from different era's.

      Easily. To be able to plug in a backup LT without much drop off from your starter? That could mean the difference between playoffs or sitting at home in January. Good/serviceable smart young and healthy LTs that won’t lose you a ball game at reasonable $$ don’t just come along every day. Picture next year… the team is scrappy and competitive, 4 and 3 record, second place in the South. Morale is good. devastating run game that Let’s our marginal defense get plenty of rest. We play the Bucs and win, going to 5 and 3, but we lose Ickey to a high ankle sprain. Atl loses that week and are now at 5 and 3 as well. There is no Ickey and no BC because we let him go… and we go in to Atl the next week for a battle of first in the south. Week after that is the Jets…. Now they lose both by 10 and 3, respectively, and fall to 5 and 5 going in to their bye week. Atl is at 7 and 3. Out of typical Panthers desperation, they try to rush Ickey back in to the lineup with a saints game coming up…  Back to good old Panthers football, always playing catchup. Another season at .500 and the fans sadly rejoice in mediocrity, when playoffs were in reach. This team always overestimates its ability to pick up quality o line depth in the draft or FA and it always blows up in their faces. Like Chuba, I see him as being part of the core that Dan is trying to build. Work on his contract now and see if we can come out with something mutually beneficial. I’d consider 3 yrs at $25m to be very fair.

      it would be great to have "double trouble" again, I even had a T- shirt for Williams and Stewart and the double trouble logo, was a great time to be Panthers fan. We shall see...
