Cam 5th most famous face in the NFL already???


Recommended Posts

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

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 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.

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.

    • I'd give it a C mainly because of Brooks.  If we just didn't have a 2nd I'd argue B to B+ tbh. Brooks was a bad gamble, tho one that could still pay off long term. Yes XL only has 400 yards but... Look who is throwing him the ball. And I think he isn't a "true #1" but he's been able to consistently get open. Hands definitely need to be cleaned up.  But he should end the year with 500-600 yards. Like you said - Sanders looks great.  Get him a better QB / more time with a QB and I think he's gonna impress. We added a couple rotational players on D that have both made plays and show promise for the future from later rounds. So I'd say, Brooks really hurts this drafts grade. It'll be interesting to see how it progresses over the next 3 years. I've overall really liked Morgan's FA acquisitions, so...
    • Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way. 
    • We're in a great position to see just how big of a misstep it would be, having made so many ourselves
