Cam Newton praise from an unlikely source

The Steelers limited the number of passes he threw for a while there.

I mean, maybe his first two years there but he has only been only 400 passes attempted two other times in his career and both were him missing more than 4 games(2010, 2019). He's had seven years over 500 passes attempted and they have risen pretty dramatically over the latter half of his career.

Steelers fans would go to war for Ben ..

Panthers fans are like .. might be smart to move on from a 30 year old franchise QB ..

And Cam Newton is leading the Walter Payton Man of the Year vote .. Ben was accused of rape ..

You people are pathetic

Cam is #1.  It even says so on his Jersey.  #changemymind  #fightmeirl

You think Cam is better than Ben .. but you think that the Panthers should move on from Cam when he's 30 .. yet Ben will be the starter of the well-run Steelers organization at age 38 ..

Ben has taken just as much of a beating in his career as Cam, and has had some injuries .. but yes, let's just get rid of Cam who's better than Be, when Ben's team still wants Ben

Who would be better- Pittsburgh with a healthy Cam or us with a healthy Ben?

When AB and Bell were healthy, too.

Pittsburgh with a healthy Cam obviously

But we've yet to see Cam's best .. I firmly believe that .. with Cam, the best has yet to come

I'll concede the fact that Russ was "better" 

However, the fact Newton had to deal with Shula during his prime is truly sad. Russ is going to be great no matter what. 

I still think with a great play caller Cam would have been better.

definitely.  Just look at Cam early last year to see what a competent OC could do for him...

Yeah, Ben has actually taken a shelling over his career. He actually did some of the things Cam is currently doing to add some longevity. He slimmed down and stopped scrambling as frequently. 

The biggest thing Ben could do to prolong his career is get rid of the ball quicker.  He holds onto it for ages sometimes, leading to taking more hits than he should.

He is definitely at least in the hall of very good.  I don't see how he could be overrated.

He actually did get better at that, whether through scheme, improved OL play or his own improvement. If you look at this stats his sacks taken and sack percentages have gone way down.

It’s the remove Bruce Arians effect. That’s all that changed.

And arguably shouldn't have.

Even if he is overrated, getting somebody better would have been difficult.  The draft is a crapshoot, and free gency means expensive.
