5. Cam Newton

Fame Assets: In the last five months, he won the Heisman Trophy, won the BCS National Championship and was selected first overall in the NFL draft. Throw in that world-famous smile and you have a media superstar already.

Fame Deterrents: He has yet to throw an NFL pass.

Current level of fame: Phil Simms

Deserved level of fame: Vince Young

Nana Index: 45

LOL "Vince Young"

[CarolinaCatBrigade]

Vince Young doesn't deserve to be in the same sentence as Cam Newton. He is not worthy of such comparison.

I have no doubt that Cam will surpass Vince pretty easily.

I think everyone underrates vince young. if we get a vince young without the mental problems i think it'd still be a win for carolina.

[Darth Biscuit]

That's the problem though isn't it? Getting him without the mental problems...

Take away the herpes and this chick is a real keeper.

Who the hell is Phil Simms?

[CarPanthers2010]

Simms is a CBS analyst. No surprise here, the #1 pick is popular. Hope he proves his worth.

i cant say he's the 5th famous face in the NFL. Brady, Manning, Rodgers, Brees are top 4 faces already and i think guys like Rivers, Ryan and Vick are more noticed right now. in time though (and if he's great) he will be top 5 maybe higher.

I couldn't agree more. Vince Young has been nowhere near a failure on the field, in fact he's been quite the opposite in terms of winning percentage when he's allowed to start. The problem with Young, seems to me, is he's legitimately mentally ill. Not as in, "this guy's a jerk," more like "this guy has very serious mental problems and belongs in a facility."

Rivers and Ryan might be elite QB's, but I don't think they are famous faces outside of big NFL fans. I could ask my wife's friends to pick Manning and Brady out of a lineup no sweat, but they couldn't ID Rivers or Ryan. Maybe Cam now, but there's an obvious bias there.

No, if you're suggesting he might have Vince Young level mental problems. That's pretty rare.
