Cam has the same agility and sight as some of the elite RBs in the league. Elway did not have the moves Cam does. Im not saying Cam is better than Elway, just not really a good comparison.

Also Elway is the 4th leading passer of all time, not really considered a runner imo.

You didn't really watch Elway that much, did you?

Elway was definitely a capable runner. In fact, one of his best highlights is a run for a first down in the Super Bowl.

But like Elway, Newton is a passer first. He definitely can run, but is not a "running quarterback".

RG3 is the new Favre..

Newton is a far closer style match to Favre than Griffin.

Griffin is Vick 2.0, with the difference being that Griffin is a good kid and highly intelligent while Vick was (and is) a self-centered numbskull.

"Griffin seems more equipped to handle the new media onslaught than most. He understands his place as franchise savior and seems to have fun with it."

I'm hoping RGIII succeeds in the NFL, the guy seems like a nice person. I don't quite understand why you feel the need to post this since it doesn't pertain to the Carolina Panthers.

They aren't comparing RG3 and Favre skills wise. The writer is making the point that everyone, well most everyone, loved Favre and had nothing bad to say about him. His last two seasons notwithstanding. People feel the same about RG3, they love him. I believe he is on his way to becoming the most popular player in the NFL.

That would be a negative ghost rider,

Cam brought some of the bad press on himself but the comparisons of him to other "black QB's" was hog wash, now that a "black QB" has taken over the league, and yes it only takes one year now for someone to have "arrived", QB's who fit that mold will have a perceptibly easier time convincing the talking heads that they are the next big thing. RG3 has absolutely earned a lot of his praise but he would have gone through what Cam did if Cam hadn't set the league on fire last year.

How did Cam bring the downright intentional hate that was shown to him unto himself?

The media was so out for blood with Cam that they were treating him and still treating him like he was a common criminal who needed to be watched like a hawk...based on WHAT???

Can any of us clearly state for sure that Cam did what the media was made so much of when he was 18? And why did they choose to ignore his time at Blinn and Auburn? They simply ignored anyone who had something positive to say about Cam and went after the one or two people who criticized him and blew up their viewpoint because it matched the image they were pushing..

All you have to do is look no further than Le Bron James to see how much the media can intentionally destroy someone image for the sake of pushing their agenda.. Please remind me again what exactly did he do that folks hate him so much? Or yes, he played ESPN at their own game and they didn't like it. Funny how quickly the media dragged down LeBron's image because he played the same game they were playing. Players leave teams all the time for greener pasture..So what..Le Bron was on a team for 4 years. Took them to the Championship and they still didn't build around him. Now he's a villian because ESPN turned him playing their silly game into a claim that he left a team high and dry and so not only should be scorned. He should never win a championship to they can continue to jeer him...REALLY???

The media went out of their way to spin everything Cam did into something negative to suit their agenda. They could have easily spun all of Cam's accomplishments and even his time at Blinn as a sign of a kid learning from his mistakes but they didn't because they saw how much hate him helping Auburn win was generating and they simply wanted to milk. It was much easier to tear him down and malign Cam than play up his accomplishments.

Sad, but it's clear folks love to hate. Especially when given permission to do so by our so called responsible media.

Yeah, cause he didnt just break any rushing records this year.

Cam Newton is not a running QB; he is a QB who can run. He is John Elway reincarnated. People like yourself can't see it because all you see is the color of his skin.
