Steve Smith ranks Cam the third best quarterback he's played with

[Iceberg Slim]

Interesting article in the Charlotte Observer.......

[Mayor Qumiby]

Lemme guess david carr and clausen were the two ahead of him..

no link?

Vinny Testeverde (sp?) and Jake.

It was more giving props to veterans he has played with than a diss toward Cam but it can be interpreted anyway you like

Vinny taught all our current stars something...

[CRA]

interesting article? seems really boring.

So 11 games into his career.....Smith says Newton isn't better than when Jake was taking them to NFCCGs? Seems like a safe call by Smitty.

[X-Clown]

He's got a point - Cam is only 12 games in, it's not fair to say yet that he's accomplished the things that Jake did with this franchise (and what Vinny accomplished outside of Charlotte).

It was from the podcast

When I read it, I understood what Smitty was saying, but one line kind of stood out to me that gave me pause for thought....

Cam, he's been in the league for about 15 minutes," Smith said on this week's "Dave Dameshek Football Program," which airs on NFL.com . "I think that's one of the things that the media does. They jump on a train too quick."

It made we wonder if he was as bought in as I thought he was

[smitty_89]

this is from the podcast interview he did, someone posted it as a thread....he just said that because Cam Newton is still a rookie, he said he is only "been in the league for 15 minutes". Said Jake is a seasoned veteran and played with him for a long time and that Vinny taught him a lot because he had worked with a lot of WRs. Cam will be #1 very soon.

Yea Steve, wink wink

Vinny T may be the most important Panther of all time.
