I do not want Newton, Do you?

I wish people would stop saying that we are comparing him to Aaron Rodgers. We aren't.

What exactly do you call making a thread titled "Cam Newton statistically similar to Aaron Rodgers"?

I didn't make that thread mind you. But saying someone is statistically similar in something like this isn't the same thing as saying they play the same style.

It is a statistical analysis of him breaking the pocket and abandoning his passing plays before going through his progressions and not just taking a one read and running. He threw the ball on 154 of 169 called pass plays. That isn't saying that he plays the same style as Aaron Rodgers it is saying that Cam Newton is no more of a run first QB on passing plays than Aaron Rodgers is.

It is designed to set a precedent not make a comparison.

But I didn't make that thread. See for yourself.

Cam Newton statistically similar to Jamarcus Russell

Choosing a very selective sample size and stats, I've determined those two players are very similar

In their respective bowl games during their final college seasons they posted these stats:

20/34 2 TDs 1 Int

21/34 2 TDs 1 Int

That settles it folks.

I didn't realize you used the royal "we."

Cam Newton 20/34 2 tds

Philip Rivers 23/37 2 tds gator bowl :party:

I didn't realize you used the royal "we."

It doesn't matter whether i said "me" or "we" the statistical comparison is for precedent not play style.

[TheRealDeal]

Those aren't as similar

Cam 6'6"

Russell 6'6"

Where do the statistic similarities end???????????

[teeray]

Aaron Rodgers in the Rose Bowl- 24/42 1 TD 1 INT.

CAM IS BETTER THAN RODGERS! SUPER BOWL! SUPER BOWL! :lol:

[TheRealDeal]

Still more similar to Russell

[teeray]

This may be the lamest debate ever . :lol:

I'm using facts and my facts are more accurate and applicable than yours.

Factually, he's more similar to Russell

Dude, the very argument you are making doesn't even make sense. The stats we are discussing aren't TD's, INTs, or passing yards.

And it isn't about who is more similar to each other. :eek:

[TheRealDeal]

I'm making a new discussion, picking and choosing stats I like to prove an overall point

Do you want to draft Cam Newton?

I am so surprised as to how many people are on the Newton bandwagon. He is not a championship quarterback because he is not a pure passer. I would think that I am speaking for the majority but apparently not. Cam Newton reminds me of JaMarcus Russell.

I do not want us to draft Newton because I still feel that Jimmy Clausen has not had an adequate opportunity to prove himself. Clausen started his rookie season for the worst offense in the league because of many different factors.

I am a Jimmy Clausen fan and supporter.

You realize that Russel showed up to the combine out of shape and overweight? RED FLAG!!! Plus the Raiders are idiots, especially with guy who couldn't be in top form for the most import initial interview in his life. You are comparing apples to oranges...

JC will make a great back up..one day. Like Moore did, then flopped when starting. Great SPOT duty. Most teams don't break down film on back ups...
