Ron Jaworski thinks Cam Newton is the 18th best QB in football.

[CelibatePimp]

These are the same guys that put Tebow at #95, right? 

 

I'll stand by my earlier question.  What fan bases that have QBs ranked ahead of Cam would trade their starting QB for him for next year only?  Honestly, I don't think you would find a taker.

 

With that said, if you extended it out to the next five years, I bet you would get more than a few.  Cam's got more potential than just about any QB in the league.  But he needs to live up to it and make those final completions vs. the Seahawks and Chiefs, or hold on to the ball against Atlanta before we can count him among the elite.

 

I was reading this seahawks blog and though they did not say they would have him as their QB, they were like oh; "imagine RW was as big as this". http://www.fieldgulls.com/videos/2013/6/30/4481826/cam-newton-soundfx

 

Anyways, I agree totally with your last paragraph, Cam must learn to be clutch. Good news is that, he knows it himself. Dude was holding that fumbled ball from week 4 against the Falcons everyday in the building and would not let anyone take if from him or you would be in trouble.

Until Cam stops actin like a thung, he will never be respect. He either has cornrolls in his head or a affro. He wears his britches pull down so you can sea the top of his panties. He has pricetags an stickers on his 2 year old ballcap. He listens to hippty hop an wrap. He even got show up by that 8 year old kid on the tv. If cam ever want to be top 10, hell haft to change. Even Jaws said that he couldnt lead the blind. Thats pretty bad, cause the blind cant sea.

I just hurt my brain trying to comprehend what you wrote. But your signature had me weak, lol.

Where did these trolls come from?

[jarhead]

The way I see it, the only real knock on Cam is consistency. That is exacerbated by a right tackle that cannot pass block. Lets hope the game slows down for him this year because it appears we are stuck with our RT.Jaws fails to mention the supporting cast is a factor.

Did you mean thug or a thong? If you think Cam looks like a thug you have lived a sheltered life in a school district that left out spelling as part of the curriculum.

I think that us one thing no one can ever knock him for. He dresses better than me and I do not look like a thug.

cry babies cry.

Are you seriously trying to discredit the opinion of the players who actually play the game, lol. There's very few GM's in the league who wouldn't cream their pants at the opportunity to have Cam Newton as their starting QB.

 

I agree, because he has more potential than just about any other young QB in the league.  But this list isn't about potential.  It's about where Ron Jaworski thinks the QBs will land in effectiveness in 2013.

 

If you're really hung up on what the players think, then I guess you agree that RG III is the fifth best QB out there, and Luck is at #8?  Maybe you could start a thread on the players picks for the top 100, and see how many people agree with it. 

 

As for this list, I don't know if I would put Cam as far down as #18, but if I was really trying to be objective I not sure he would be a top 10 right now either.  I don't think anyone who's not a Panthers fan would look at him as a top 10 until he gets a little more reliable in the clutch (if he was, we would have been an easy 10-6 or better last year).  With that said, I think there are good arguments to suggest that he's better than Cutler, Kaep, Stafford, and maybe Rivers and Romo.  But then, I'm a homer.  Jaws is not.  So I may not agree, but I get where he's coming from.

I think for the last half of the season he played like a top 10. For the first half like a 20th or so. 18th overall is too low of a ranking, but not by that much. I'd say 13 or so.

[CatMan72]

Anyone catch who came in at #19?

 

Here's the list to date:

 

18. Cam Newton, Panthers

19.

20. Alex Smith, Chiefs

21. Josh Freeman, Buccaneers

22. Sam Bradford, Rams

23. Carson Palmer, Cardinals

24. Ryan Tannehill, Dolphins

25. Michael Vick, Eagles

26. Brandon Weeden, Browns

27. Christian Ponder, Vikings

28. Mark Sanchez, Jets

29. Chad Henne, Jaguars

30. Kevin Kolb, Bills

31. Jake Locker, Titans

32. Matt Flynn, Raiders

Remaining...

Aaron Rodgers, Packers

Andrew Luck, Colts

Andy Dalton, Bengals

Ben Roethlisberger, Steelers

Colin Kaepernick, 49ers

Drew Brees, Saints

Eli Manning, Giants

Jay Cutler, Bears

Joe Flacco, Ravens

Matt Ryan, Falcons

Matt Schaub, Texans

Matt Stafford, Lions

Peyton Manning, Broncos

Philip Rivers, Chargers

Robert Griffin III, Redskins

Russell Wilson, Seahawks

Tom Brady, Patriots

Tony Romo, Cowboys

 

How many of those guys who are remaining can you really put Newton ahead of, unless you're going on potential?  All of them have been to the playoffs, and most of them have built up an impressive body of work. 

 

I think Newton will eventually be one of the game's greats, but if you were making the list, where would you honestly put him right now?

 

This is easy, I would rank Cam ahead of: RG3, Wilson, Rivers, Romo, Kaepernick, Cutler, Dalton, Rapelisberger, Stafford, Schaub and Ryan. 

 

We're not talking about life-time accomplishment, we're talking about ranking based on who they are right now and you could make a really good argument to rank Cam above any of the QB's I listed. 

[stirs]

You would rank in the top 10 Homer list.

congrats

Jaworski is an idiot and a blowhard.

 

He is talking about Cam's "accuracy".  Laughable.

 

Cam has a 58% and 60% completion percentage his first two seasons. 

 

Jaworski had 2 out of 16 seasons that were that high.  He typically was in the low 50% range.  The only thing Jaworski knows about accuracy issues is that his career was full of them.

I'm not talking about based on his potential, I'm talking about right now. GM's would take him in a heart beat.

As for this list or the players list, doesn't matter. I find all lists and rankings based on opinion versus facts to be generally useless. I popped in to address the mouth diarrhea I saw being flung around in here by our own fans.

The rookie QB's are rated high because their teams went to the playoffs. Keyword, teams. Only a few more big plays, stops by our defense, or better gameplans, and we could have been in the playoffs ourselves too.

With all the draft picks and money we've put into our defense, we have no excuse not to capitalize this year.
