Bo Jackson on Cam Newton

[Toundra]

It's quiet simple, now you have to say Cam Newton instead of Chuck Norris.

This is unbelievable but, Cam Newton > Chuck Norris!

Not so fast. Chuck Norris has already intercepted Cam Newton's first regular season pass and returned it for a TD.

It's clear Cam and Bo are like father and son and his comments should be taken as such. But I'm sure a lot of folks will get their underwears all in a tangle over what he said because of who he said it about.

Thru Week 2: Bo still Knows

Bo knows everything but speed......Cam is NOWHERE near as fast or elusive as Mike Vick.

[smitty_89]

I have new found respect for Bo, he was spot-on with his assessment of Cam. fug everyone else.

We need to have an internet forum etiquette class for all the new people coming in. Force them to take it before they are allowed to post.

Tip number one guys: Your opinion on Cam Newton isn't so important that it needs it's own thread with 8 others just like it.

:lol:

I would say Newton is a little slower... but less elusive?

Yeah. I don't see any other QB in this league juking two Green Bay Defenders for 8 yards on a 3rd down besides maybe Vick.

I dont think one of those guys touched em.

Newton is definitely not Mike Vick fast, but he's bigger and his strides cover more ground. Bigger means there's more to grab onto and tackle, but also means he's stronger and more able to pull away. Wash there. Daunte Culpepper is a way better comparison for me, though happily Newton is better at protecting the ball. For pure athleticism and running, overall Vick is probably more dangerous.

As a passer, I think you have to give the edge to Newton, and down the road quite possibly a significant edge. He can see the field better than Vick will ever be able to, and his pass distribution is far superior to where Vick's was at this stage in his career (largely because Alge Crumpler was the only guy Vick could consistently see over the line).

More importantly in regards to size, Cam is less likely to get injured or at least thats what I hope since its hard to know with injuries. But Vick is definitely more injury prone with his small frame compared to Cam.

My hope as well, though it's early yet.

I do think Newton is playing smarter football than Vick did his rookie year.
