Ahead of him are Eli Manning, Tom Brady, Ben Roethlisberger, Drew Brees, Aaron Rodgers, and Peyton Manning.

He beats out Phillip Rivers, Matt Ryan, Michael Vick, Matthew Stafford, Tony Romo, Matt Schaub, Jay Cutler, and, shockingly, Matt Moore!

7) Cam Newton, Carolina Panthers: It's a small sample size, but I also knew I liked Ben & Jerry's "Phish Food" from my first tasting spoon. Some things you just know.

Cammy Cam is in some pretty good company now. He's not at the point of being completely hyped, either - his high ranking is based on actual admiration of his skills by legitimate sources around the league. Hopefully he'll crack the top five after this year.

That is definitely fair. Ten, count it, ten Superbowl rings are shared between those top six quarterbacks. Cam will have to lead our team to a Lombardi to be crowned elite. For now, he's as damn good as it gets - a rookie at that.

He needs a ring before he moves up any further

what? why? if he progresses to the point where he's performing above anyone currently above him on the list it makes sense to shift him ahead in the rankings. adrian peterson is arguably the best back in the league; would you arbitrarily hold him at number seven until he wins a superbowl?

I personally don't hold any grudges against a Superbowl ring or not. The media heads do; however, and unless he can get us one they won't crown him in their class.

those quarterbacks are on that list because of their eliteness, not because they won superbowls. they have rings BECAUSE they are elite.

there's a difference.

So if Cam is elite at their level he will get a ring too :)

      Fix Your Franchise: Carolina Panthers

      By fanpanther · Posted

      100% even if rest of team is really talented if they march young out to be qb and he plays like he has for 90% of his starts the panthers have already lost doesnt even matter how good the rest of the team is or isnt and also makes it hard to even tell how good they are.  They need true competition for young this offseason.

      Another renovation to BoA?

      By dave-o · Posted

      It will be awesome to have an improved stadium to lose in I guess....   https://www.yahoo.com/news/panthers-file-rezoning-bank-america-111500840.html     The Carolina Panthers have taken another necessary step toward renovating their home of the present and future. Panthers Stadium, LLC, filed its rezoning site plan with the city of Charlotte on Monday, initiating an important — if mostly technical — step toward renovating Bank of America Stadium. The filings state that the rezoning relates “primarily to technical aspects associated with improvements to Bank of America Stadium,” and that the rezoning is required because “the current stadium zoning is out of date” for the team’s stadium renovation plans.   The planned stadium updates include new seats installed throughout the upper and lower bowls; stadium safety and security enhancements; a reimagined South Lawn Pavilion; upgraded restrooms; exterior enhancements (including LED video boards) and more. Planning for the stadium renovation project will continue through 2025, with construction starting in 2026 and the renovation’s conclusion in 2029, The Observer previously reported.

      In my dream, we somehow luck into a top 2 pick and someone wants a QB bad and doesn’t want anyone else to jump them. Somehow we’ll probably screw up the picks anyway, but it would be nice to do even partially what Chicago did to us. We’d have to lose out, which is a decent possibility unless Tampa is resting. We need Atlanta to stay within a game because Atlanta beat Tampa twice. The rest of the draft slots are who knows because Jax plays the Raiders and then Tennessee and you never know who will rest starters. I think we are top 7 unless we somehow pull out 2 more wins. The 4 win teams have higher SOS and there is only one 5 win team with the same SOS. If we win 1 of 3, we still should stay in top 7. If we lose out and the Jax games work for us, we can easily be top 3.
