Considering he has had a couple picks that weren't entirely his fault, the reams we've played, the team around him, and the game he had to play in a monsoon, I'd say Cam is already better than around 13 of those ahead of him...

At this point in the season, I don't see how one can make a valid argument that the top 3 QBs in the league aren't Brady, Brees, and Newton...

Rodgers above them all

Aaron Rodgers? :confused:

After yesterday, that kid is ready. He is keeping plays alive and making some insane plays throwing the ball. Get LaFell out there at number 2 full time and see if he and Cam can build on something they already got going! That was a sure TD for LaFell if he hadn't slipped in the end zone.

Rodgers is a very good and efficient QB, but its true, people do underrate his supporting cast, specifically his receiving core. Even though he's one of the best, I dont look at Rodgers as CARRYING the Packers the way Brees does the Saints or Brady does the Pats. Pack can still win when he doesnt put up huge #'s.

and like 21 in completion percentage

Meh... He has a great supporting cast and hasn't had that much opposition... Plus, they've played us...

Don't get me wrong, he's up there too, but Cam is playing better than almost anyone except maybe Brady...

LOL

No doubt. Even their rookie WR, Randall Cobb, is already looking like a star. If we had a guy like that, it would help us out tremendously. Just imagine Cobb returning punts for the Panthers instead of Armanti Edwards, not to mention that he's already a good WR to boot.

No he isn't. Cam is playing great and showing he has the potential to become an elite NFL QB (and there are VERY VERY few).

But Cam isn't playing better overall football than everyone. He is a rookie....with a LOT on his plate. Redzone play......weighs in more heavily than inbetween the 20s.

Rodgers, Brady, Brees, Rivers, Schaub and a healthy Peyton Manning are all guys that I would take over Newton without question. To say otherwise pretty much requires a peek through the homer glasses.

On the flipside, I would take Newton easily over Vick, Roethlisberger, Hasselbeck, Stafford, Romo, Kolb, Campbell, McNabb, Orton, Sanchez, Grossman, Cutler, Alex Smith, any of the rookie or second year guys and any of the WCO products.

Guys like Josh Freeman, Matt Ryan, Eli Manning and a few others, it'd be a coin flip.

But is the question who you would take Cam over for your franchise......or who has been playing better football for 4 weeks.

Well I framed it in my mind as "who is the better quarterback".

As far as who I'd take over Newton in reality right now, when you factor in age and years of play, probably about the only two guys I could see swapping for would be Josh Freeman or Aaron Rodgers, and with a gun to my head probably only Freeman (great as Rodgers is, he's in his seventh season).

Are guys like Brady and Brees better? In the short-term, sure, but Newton's got his whole career ahead of him.

I admit I may not be the most objective because I am a homer and watch every snap from newton and not have the luxury of doing that with all the elite QB's.

That being said Cam is top 4 this season so far.

Here's my list for this season so far

1.Brady

2.Rodgers

3.Brees

4 Newton

      High look overview...

      By musicman · Posted

      Start with Bryce, this is like his rookie year. The 1st 2 games proved her was wired wrong and it looks like (we hope) he needed a time out to reset and be the player that was drafted. He's still about a year or more away from being a top 15 QB, if the Panther give him another playmaker or 2 (a top WR and a decent TE) and maintain that line. Canales deserves credit as playing that card correctly to motivate (or refocus) his QB for one last shot to decide his and the Panthers immediate future. As a Panther fans we should hope he keeps improving as we invested so much to get him. CJ Stroud will never have a season like he had, even if he stays a top 10 QB. He's got great character so I'm rooting for Bryce to continue on his positive journey. Canales is playing the week to week thing with bryce perfectly. Nothings guaranteed, earn it weekly which builds consistency and consistency is greatness.  Keep the O-line. They've got to extend Brady C, along with Mayes that have a real good 7. Great job Morgan starting with the big guys upfront.  I really hope they draft a DE or OLB in the 1st round. Getting Brown back with A Robinson and what DJ has shown that we can have a decent D-line. Need a CB in the early rounds/ or a time FA to go with Horn.  The future as to next year being good enough to challenge for the division is within reach. Just show progress (win or lose) every week. Kudos to Dan Morgan. Plays GM like a LB. Tackle the problem and move on, don't just hope it works out. Find guys with your playing mentality and work closely with your HC to share a vision. Teamwork starts at the top and flows down.

      Canes vs Panthers(Back to Back Games Thread)

      By Panthers Fan 69 · Posted

      Since we play the Panthers today and tmrw, we will have one gigantic double thread for both games. Today’s game is at 3pm and tmrw is 7pm.    After beating the Rangers and sending the those yankee bastards back to Cary, we get the Champs in the house.  Clean up the defense, no more lazy clears, and score baby score.  LFG CANES!
