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

[MWCarolina]

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 think Rivers is a famous NFL face, take away bias and i cant say he's top 5 famous face, i only mentioned QBs. Larry Fitzgerald also is a famous NFL face, Newton is a famous NFL face, but i just cant say he's top 5 yet.

I'd say Newton is more recognizable than Rivers or Fitz, easily. I don't think it's even close.

Cam has been saying all the right things so far. I think he will use this as a reason to work even harder and be even more low-key to prove he does not feel entitled to anything he hasn't earned yet.

"Deserved level of fame" wth does that even mean? VY's not famous at all, I seriously doubt anyone who can't name every starting QB in the league or doesn't follow Texas college football could point him out. Are they saying that Cam doesn't deserve any more fame than your average QB? If so, why pick VY? I smell racism. :wink:

On a more serious note, how many of these other guys have been chased by the paparazzi like Cam already has? Serious question, I don't follow TMZ or any of that garbage. I only know they went after Cam because of this forum.

Disagree because Fitzgerald makes the Cardinals recognizable and is one of, if not the best reciever in the NFL with Andre Johnson a close 2nd. As for Rivers, he came out of a draft full of QBs that included Eli Manning and Ben Roethlisberger and i think both of those guys are more known and recognizable faces. Newton is going to be recognized, dont get me wrong, but i cant say he's top 5 with many other players being more known.

:cam:

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

Nooooo..... I was suggesting that getting Vince Young without mental problems would be tough... I don't think Cam has mental problems.

This is probably why

baby baby baby ohhhh

i couldn't pick fitz or, esp. andre johnson out of a line up.

[Awesomeness!!]

Vince Young is actually a very decent NFL QB, but I seriously think that dude needs some mental help. He just isn't......"there"..

[jherald]

I know. He's everywhere! If he turns out to be a bust, then he'll be a major bust. The media will see to that.

And for the record, I'm a huge Cam fan. Not only because he is a Panther, that's just an added bonus. I loved him at Auburn as well.

well ask Cardinal fans or fans in other states and they can pick Fitzgerald out of a lineup quicker than Newton. Sorry, but that's my opinion. i think Newton's face is popular, no doubt, but not over Fitzgerald and others i have brought up

i wouldn't ask cardinal fans, because of course they would recognize his face.

as far as fans in other states...i doubt they would find fitz more recognizable than newton. they might recognize the name...but the face isn't particularly.

i'm not all that much of a casual fan. i'm really familiar with pro players and have been for years, still...i've got no idea what these guys look like when the helmet is off. i doubt most people do.

disagree or not, more people are going to recognize newton's face quicker than fitz. newton's just a popular figure and he's getting a whole lot more publicity than fitz. probably safe to say that newton has gotten more publicity this year than fitz has gotten at any one point in his career.

Exactly. I'd add he simply has a face you don't forget and spot instantly, regardless of accomplishments, publicity or even good looks.

For example, I bet I'd recognize Willem Dafoe at an airport before, hell, just about anybody.
