Where does Cam rank amoung NFL QB's

[tiger7_88]

I love me some Cam, but he is not 6th best in league.

He easily could be considering the stated standards that the guy says he is using that you seem to want to conveniently ignore.

[Pox 08]

Newton is top 15, but 6 is ridiculous.

Too many interceptions.

EH. Brees was universally considered "Top 4" in 2010, even though he threw 22 interceptions.

Brees is a proven starter who was having a down year turnover wise, like Philip Rivers this year.

Newton was a rookie.

[I am Hubby]

Every one on that list with the exception of Rodgers (A ridiculously low 6) threw double digit INTs.

I would say, for a rookie, Cameron is in pretty good company. As he grows and learns, the INTs should diminish.

I know some people will never like Cameron. I get that. I just wish the haters would use some common sense when trolling. I know, wishing into the winds of distain is a total fail. And there is a part of me that really could care less how people feel about Cameron. He is our very own Superman. And man do I like that thought.

Giddy up, or get out. And GOOOO CATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't really disagree about the top 5 but I don't think Newton is better than Stafford just yet. It's close

there's a pretty big difference between throwing 10 interceptions and throwing 17, saying "they all had double digit interceptions" isn't really all that useful. Plus, raw numbers for INTs are silly, it's better to look at something like interception percent or what not. IMO Cam's number of INTs wasn't that huge a deal given the fact he was a rookie, but I do think he is a bit too high on that list... he'll be there before long but I would place him near or just out of the top 10.

Though I can understand the argument that from this year alone given what he did and how he transformed the team etc, perhaps he does deserve that high a placement on QB performances of the year or somesuch.

Dude, I am not even sure what this is supposed to mean. Brees has thrown 82 INTs in the last 5 years. I'll do the math for you. That is an average of 16.4 INTs a year. That makes a down half decade, not just one year.

I think you need to go back to the drawing board to find something else to dis on Cameron about. You don't like Cameron in the top ten. I get that. Seeing as how your QB was int he bottom 10, you need to vent your frustration somehow.

Poor jags fans. We probably have more people on this here Huddle than they do in their whole fan base.

Brees has also thrown like 3200 passes in the last 5 years... That's an absurd number of passes, so he'd probably have the most interceptions in the last 5 years. He had like 150 more passes (in 2010) than Cam had last year, so it's no surprise he threw more interceptions.

Even in Brees' worst year, last year, his INT-per-pass ratio was close to Cam's this year, so meh, but his career numbers are a far cry lower. Cam will get better, but it's okay to admit he did have a slight turnover problem as a rookie in some of our games. I don't know if Cam deserves to be #6 in a list of top 10 NFL QBs, but I could buy that he had the 6th best performance last year overall.

fyi that same list had Brees at 7th last year apparently, probably based on interceptions.

it also had freeman at 8...

IMO #6 is way too high for Cam, but he will get there soon I think.

If we are talking about this year alone, which is my understanding, I do not see why #6 is such a stretch.

Ok, let's look at the list.

Rodgers-6 INTS

Brees-14

Eli-14

Brady-12

Ben-14

Cameron-17

Stafford-16

Romo-10

Ryan-12

Flacco-12

Take out Rodgers and Romo, and Cameron is right there. Throw in the fact that he is the only rookie on that list, and I see no reason to get all nutty about him being 6th.

Die hard fans are not swayed by popular opinion. We are swayed by personal perception. And on this front. I am fully behind where Cameron is placed on that list. If you want to be technical. Stafford had one beast of a year, and I believe he deserves to be higher.

My giddy will not be denied. And GOOOOOO CATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CN 310 517 60.0% 17

PM 326 575 56.7% 28

:lol: you can't even use the excuse Cam is a running QB...pretty damn good for a rookie. Joe Montana threw 28 INTs the year he won his first Superbowl, Even threw 31 in one year.

#6 might be a little high right now. but who cares that the local media is kissing ass. You do want him to do local interviews, right?

[liljah8303]

Name 5 qb's you'd rather have than Cam if you're a GM

Arron Rodgers

Drew Brees

Tom Brady

Eli Manning??

Peyton Manning??

6th seems a little off to me as well. Cam is the 4-5 best qb in the league.

Amidoinitrite?

[mav1234]

Other than Aaron Rodgers, he also threw fewer passes than any of those other guys. Fewer TDs, too, though obviously his rushing TDs offset that in my mind for the most part.

This article is from a Tampa Bay journalist I think. I don't really care if he's too high or not. I personally thin it might be, but eh, I'm glad he's making lists like that. It's a nice change to have a QB where people actually debate that...

For a single year or for multiple years? ;)

I hear your pain Mav, I really do. That goofball jags fan brought up INTs and I ran with it. Cameron had 9 INTs in 3 games. And two of those games were in the first 5 games. His last 11 games, espescially the last half of the year, he really took care of the ball well.

Everyone, except Rodgers, throws INTs. Rookies have a tendency to throw more than their fair share. Cameron, by the last quarter of the year, did a fine job cutting down on his.

I see no reason to be the least bit unhappy with where Cameron is listed. And GOOO CATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
