Earl Thomas: 'Hawks knew Cam Newton would 'tank'

[GotSwag?]

I would love Chud to open up this offense. I would love to see Stewart and Williams in the backfield half the game. We are paying them big money and they need to be on the field.

What would you guys say to this.. Cam to the Bills for Dareus, Stevie Johnson and their 1st and 2nd rounder? Yay or nay? Their QB is garbage and they liked Cam going into the draft. Id make that trade. Lets see. They will probably have a top 7 pick and we would have a top 5 pick. We would get Dareus, Johnson plus we could draft Eric Reid and Star Lotulelei in the 1st round and a QB in the 2nd round.

It's hard to figure whether someone with 50 something posts is trolling with a post like this or just a complete moron.

Seriously are you serious? Trade Cam? wtf man? Take that "panther" out of your name.

Since when does being a fan of a team mean I cant dislike a member of it? Im just saying trade Cam before/if he has a VY meltdown and we can get a good trade out of him. You really wouldnt trade Cam for Marcel Dareus, Stevie Johnson and the right to draft both Eric Reid and Star Lotuleli? Really?

No

Go away

No

i'm realizing more and more why he was banned from an inferior site.

I'm a fan and I knew he was going to tank. He has yet to do otherwise when the game was on the line.

Oh you're free to dislike whoever you want and still be a fan... I'm pretty sure however that you'll find you're in the vast minority... trading Cam would be monumentally stupid.

If you think Cam is anything like VY then you know nothing about him at all.

He's overhyped. He's never won or lead a team to anything in his life.

Former heisman trophy winners that went on and won OROY, made the pro bowl in their rookie year, couldnt break down defenses and played well because of their physical talents. Eerily similar. Now saying Cam is Jamarcus would be inaccurate because Cam does have a good work ethic and stays in shape, but the similiarties between him and VY are striking.

VY's IQ was like 12... Cam is very intelligent. Huge difference.

I agree with Zod from that other thread... coaches need to stop trying to run this gimmicky college offense, run a pro style offense, and use our power running game, which is what we're built for.

First off, Vince Young never won the Heisman. Derp.

Second off, Flacco, Ryan, Bradford, Stafford all struggled in their 2nd seasons. Ryan & Bradford both won OROY as well.

Third off, Cam leads the league in YPA, did Vince ever do that? Cam is on pace for 3,600 yards passing, Vince never did that. Cam is "struggling" with a QB rating of 80, 6 points higher than VY's average for his career. They're not even close to the same player or play alike at all. They're two tall black guys who played QB so simpletons such as yourself say they're the same.

Posts like yours are why I say we need more black QBs in the NFL, because the tendency to compare and say guys are the same who are NOTHING alike is too great right now. Its like me saying Brandon Weeden and Matt Ryan are the same.

The only thing VY and Cam have in common is their ethnicity. They are easy for lazy people to compare but they are much different types of QBs.

Not sure where Cam "tanked" - play calling and the DW fumble killed the panthers.

Not a good team this year guys. Sorry.

Pro style offense might be here sooner THAN later because if they keep this crap up Rivera and his folded arms will be gone.

you're comparing stats, not players.

the 2 are alike. they are the same mold but played under different scenarios.

every once in a while a "dual threat" qb comes onto the scene set to change the game. mike vick, then vince young, now cam newton.

each one is bigger and better than the previous...2 have fallen short, the third is just falling.
