You think Matt Ryan in any universe is better than Cam Newton lol. Hell, if the NFL wasn't so gung-ho to hand the MVP Trophy back to the "traditional" Quarterback (Ryan) he wouldn't have even gotten MVP over Julio that year.

Ryan owes the biggest accolade of his NFL career to Cam imho.

Your "facts" have been all over the place starting with how your opinion on whether or not record matters depends solely upon whether or not you personally like the player being discussed. If it's Cam, only the win/loss record matter. Well, not exactly. Only the losses actually matter. You'll just ignore the fact that Cam has a winning record as a starting QB on a franchise that has an overall losing record. Cam has no back to back winning seasons... ignoring the fact that the Panthers don't have back to back winning seasons in their entire franchise history. Oh, we're talking about CMC now? Toss the record out the window. Yeah, we were 5-11 last season, but just look at CMC's stats! I agree with you on one thing - football is the ultimate team sport.  You can have outstanding individual performances in losing efforts. Just don't move the goalposts around to fit your point of view based on the player you're discussing.

Well the numbers agree with me. You can't argue those. I tell you what. Pick ANY top tier QB and compare them to Cam. Again I offered up Russell Wilson but there have been no takers. Heck.. do Brees, do any Tier 1 QB who has been in the league as long as Cam over the same period of time and compare. I'll wait.

You right I am not. You guys just dont like the facts. So give me facts that show Cam is as good as you guys say and compare them to his peers. Say Russell Wilson... similar styles right? sort of any. Dont show me no franchise record BS. Please. And if I am wrong I will shut up and admit it. 

Lol. Go back through this thread and literally read my arguments. You are doing nothing but proving exactly what I just said.

Lmao. Dude, you are hilarious.

The numbers? That Matty Checkdown who has been infinitely blessed and surrounded by the best offensive talent in the history of this league is marginally a better statistical QB than Cam?

LOL! Man this is dumbest thing since Icege last statement. Really? How about Brady with the Greatest WR of this generation, Moss, Elderman, Welker. How about the Big Ben with AB, Bell? How about Mahomes, with Hill, Kelsee? 

But I digress... do your comparison, support your claim, and if I am wrong I will shut up.

Fine. I'll actually entertain this and do the groundwork one time.

Let's look at Cam and Russell Wilson. They've started a nearly identical number of games. 128 for Wilson vs. 124 for Cam. 

Wilson has 29734 career passing yards vs. 29041 for Cam. That's 232ypg for Wilson and 234ypg for Cam. Virtually identical.

Wilson has a sizable advantage in TD passes with 227 vs 182 for Cam. That's 1.77 per game for Wilson and 1.47 for Cam.

But, Cam has a sizable advantage in rushing yardage with 4806 vs. 3993 for Wilson and a HUGE advantage in rushing TDs with 58 for Cam vs. 19 for Wilson. Overall, Wilson has accounted for 246 TDs vs. 238 for Cam. That's 1.92 per game for each.

Wilson has an advantage in career completion percentage at 62.3% vs. Cam's 59.6%, but interestingly enough the highest single season completion percentage between the two goes to Cam in the one season he played in Norv's offense instead of Shula's "please save me Cam" offense. Cam, the QB who "can't evolve" and "isn't accurate" completed 67.9% of his passes that season.

The biggest advantage Wilson holds is INTs with 68 career INTs vs. Cam's 108. That's 0.53 per game for Wilson and 0.87 per game for Cam.

It's worth noting that Wilson enjoyed the luxury of playing with a 1000+ yard rusher in 5 of his 8 seasons. Cam enjoyed that same luxury exactly once while leading the Panthers in rushing yardage and/or rushing TDs in virtually every season that he played.

Russell Wilson is a fantastic QB, but the overall numbers are probably much closer than you anticipated while Cam has historically carried the far higher offensive burden for his team over the course of their careers.

Tony G, Julio Jones, His Offensive Line, Turner, Shanahan's kid, Michael Turner >>>>>>>> anything Cam has ever had in his entire tenure here. EVER.

idc what you stupid homers says Tony Gonzalez might be a prick but he >> Greg Olsen any day of the week.

Pretty much what I thought. Cam is a great rushing QB and an avg passer at best. Also Its interesting you used Wilson's playoff passing completion % but used Newton's regular season completion %. It should be 64.5 (Not 62.3) to 59.6. And no the highest completion percentage in a year does not got to Cam. Russel Wilson completed 68.1 in 2015. And it's telling you keep hanging your hat on that one season. To that point... Cam has NEVER had a passing rating 100 or more in a season. Wilson's CAREER QB Rating is over 100. So stop getting mad about what is fact and move on.

To add on, those 50 less interceptions posted by Wilson are a huge difference. The kind of difference that can make it break a career.

Edit so I don't get attacked: I am a huge Cam fan. Own the jerseys, loved him coming out of college, relentlessly argued for him over Luck. But I have the awareness to admit he is not the best passing QB out there.

      I kinda hate getting our pick spoiled but at least the Huddle has more Time to debate

      By PleaseCutStewart · Posted

      I don't care about offensive production for a team that literally only threw to him and the running back. I care about what I see on film:   Dude cannot separate on his own against talented LBs/S and had to be schemed open; his route running is below average; while pretty athletic, he doesn't have elite athleticism or speed; his blocking form has quite a few red flags (dude should be a dominant run blocker for his size). He was talented enough to get open in college against a slower LB/S; that won't be the case in the NFL. Not to mention, the dude pretty much was nonexistent until this year for Penn St. If I am drafting a TE in the top 10, choosing a 5th year senior that didn't do anything until his last season should be pretty alarming. Not saying he is going to be a bad player - I think he will be a solid short/intermediate possession TE in the NFL. I just don't understand the logic of taking him top 10

      No one is arguing where we were on the season.  After the benching Bryce was one of the top deep ball passers in the league.  It's a skillset he has just shown he is capable of doing.  I believe he led the league in week 12 and was one of the top ones for that final quarter.  Dance around the topic and argue the stats all you want, I'm just going by what I saw on TV and read about.   https://x.com/PattonAnalytics/status/1877044086709854343 https://www.si.com/nfl/panthers/news/bryce-young-best-against-pressure-throwing-deep Hey it surprised me as well, but I'm not going to hide my head in the sand and try to ignore what is clearly right in front of me.  People have a hard time admitting their original thought may have been wrong.  That's just the world we live in.  We will see if Young can keep it up next year or not, but signs are point to DC running his offense regardless of who is QB.

      You are right, but as of late there has been more rookie TEs making immediate impact on teams. McBride, Laporta, Kincaid and obv Bowers.  My true opinion is the team has so many holes they can go multiple directions including Safety. So it just comes down to out of all the talent in the draft who will make the immediate impact. Wr? TE? LB?
