Merril hodge says cam newton a top 5 qb right now.

[The_Mango55]

Yeah Stafford is having a slightly better year than Cam right now, we'll see if he stays out there or gets injured again, dude's made of glass. If Cam isn't having a top 5 year he's right outside it.

uhm if u had never heard of him before, than how could u possibly be impressed?

no he is not impressive at this point.

I saw the highlights we were bombarded with, and watched some of his game film since it looked like the Panthers were in the running to draft him a lot of last year.

I'll admit I didn't think Cam would be this good and wanted Luck (and wanted to go Defense when Luck didn't come out), but I thought Blaine had bust written all over him from the start.

but...but...he sucks in the 4th quarter!?!?!?!!?!?!

here...let me throw a bunch of stats at you and overlook how sucky the defense is and how poor the special teams all through the game so that can prove i'm right!!!!!!!! WE'VE GOT TO FIX HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

oye....

We? I don't think you can fix anything, but stuff like this just puts more pressure on an young athlete and makes it worse. So I take it whenever it's favorable, ESPN and the "talking heads" are cool and it's ok to listen to them? But only when it's favorable, right?

Don't drink. Sometimes you gotta know when to stop drinking that kool-aid and wash your face with ice cold water to snap out of it.

Cam's a top 5 rookie for sure and having one of the greatest rookie seasons ever.

Cam Newton is NOT a top 5 QB right now. Please stop. Merril Hodge is drinking this, and you are buying right into it. Have some sense.

cam's overrated. cam's overrated. cam's overrated ....

*cool picture to help make a point or something*

cam's not that good. cam's not that good. cam's not that good.

essentially all there is to your posting.

Hodge has always been a Panther lover...especially a Steve Smith lover. For that, I approve of him.

so Hoge was an idiot a couple weeks ago...now smart?

Cam is a GREAT rookie. I personally have never seen a rookie QB this good from a individual stand point.

Sky is the limit.

As of right now....you can't put him ahead of someone like Phillip Rivers. A slow start by Rivers doesn't make his body of work in the NFL void.

I had this conversation yesterday. I could only think of a few names i would have over Cam right now. 2 of them started with a B and the other just won a superbowl.

Rivers has sucked this season, so far. Qb rankings through the season are based on how players are playing that season, not in past seasons. That's how I look at it anyway.

Stafford is more deserving of the 5th spot than Rivers.

I think it has something to do with the fact that Hodge refused to even admit Newton's positives in Cam's first few weeks.

It almost seemed like Hodge was trying to not admit he was wrong about the kid even though he clearly was. Merril called Cam inaccurate, non cerebral, and other stuff that Newton has shown he has but Hodge was almost like the kid going "la la la la la nope didn't happen I'm right lalalala".

I still don't like Hodge but he's finally opening his eyes to Cam.

hoge is still an idiot. he's just an idiot that jumped on the right bandwagon.

recent history always factors in b/c it provides insight on what they can and can't do. Rivers has played poorly for his standards, has been without his best recieving option most of the year, and his team is 4-2.

The NFL is about what you are doing now. Peyton Manning is historically a top 3 quarterback. Right now he is not in the top 32. Right now statistically Newton is a top 5 quarterback. If you want to add some intelligence to your posts and have people actual listen to you at least consider adding facts like his lack of 4th quarter comebacks compared to other top 10 quarterbacks, etc. Otherwise you have nothing.
