Newton the Passer vs Newton the Runner

[Mr. Scot]

peyton manning and tom brady are silver?

Would you want to have to defend against Manning or Brady if they were also running threats?

You'd have opposing DCs in straitjackets.

I thought a QB that can just pass real good is Golden. Shouldn't one that can do both, be Platinum or Diamond?

not with the league changing like it is.

it's a given that the league is turning into a more pass heavy league, but defenses are countering this by getting much more creative with their schemes and trying to create as much confusion for the QB as possible by disguising blitzes that can come from anywhere while they are working at covering all the receivers. QBs going forward are going to have to be more mobile and make things happen more with their legs.

Exactly... so shouldn't Cam be Platinum or Diamond?

[Mr. Scot]

Eeeeehhh, fine. I'll go with platinum in order to keep it in the realm of precious metals :sosp:

Your true colors already showed Mr. Scott...just another white man trying to fit a black QB into a white man's old school and racist definitions when everyone knows diamonds are better than gold and now you're trying to change your tune........bet if he was white you'd have already called him diamond or platinum....

I'm not really that into jewelry or precious metals myself, but comparisons based on PC microprocessors or HDTV screen resolutions don't translate well to a broad audience.

[Mr. Scot]

"Nobody wants to cheer for losers, simple and plain...

Not sure I buy that statement.

There are still Ram fans out there.

(sorry Meat) :(

dude what?????

I'm pretty sure he was joking.

[Pantherball]

dude what?????

Didn't expect you out of all people to bite.

[rayzor]

maybe. i seriously don't know what he was talking about, though.

You know its sad when comments like that can still be mistaken for anything other than total sarcasm.:wink5:

I still don't think Carolina fans really understand how destructive he can be as a runner......I think he will break it out in full effect at least once this year. With the vertical scheme we are running....Cam could literally freelance it into the Cam show if he wanted one week (he really just doesn't seem to want to run......which is good....but at least one game where he went off would be HIGHLY entertaining)

His running ability has really helped us extend drives and put points on the board. I agree, we havent even seen the tip of the iceberg of what he can do rushing the football. I think he has a strong chance to break the TD record and post 1,000 yards in a future season.

The way this board gets sometimes, I think Rayz can be forgiven for missing it :lol:
