Ranking the Young QB's According to ESPN

Every time I see Luck interview, he reminds me of the GEICO caveman lol.

Cam is sitting at about 20 in the rankings. 

 

Would like to see him finish the season around 8-12

Luck is clutch but as of right now he's an overrated gunslinger. I don't see him as a cerebral precision passer at all. He's no Aaron Rodgers or Peyton Manning. He's good, but not great.

 

Kaepernick is struggling but he's got a legitimate fastball. His mechanics still need work and his decision-making has been exposed. I like him though. Colin can be quite the decade starter for The 49ers if he works out the kinks.

 

RG3 has appeared awful in the pocket. Just dreadful, in my honest opinion (for the level of hype he got). He looked better on rollouts today but without his legs and The Pistol, RG3 could be the most average QB from in this group.

 

Wilson is easily my favorite here [not named Cam Newton]. He might be a game manager but he's a fantastic one. That said, he's got the potential to be a Drew Brees. His accuracy while on the run is impressive and scary as hell. Russell is also a fudging slippery bastard.

 

Cam can be superhuman at times but he needs to be more consistent. Thus far, Newton has shown that he's the superior pocket passer over Kaepernick and RG3. So the sky is the limit for him but I want to see him continue to make strides as a passer.

 

Nice overall analysis. 

 

Luck is good, but overrated. And I think he's been more fortunate than "clutch" during his rookie season. 

 

Kaepernick was/is severely overrated. And both him and RG3 are horrible pocket QB's (particularly RG3), when you take away the misdirection, pistol, motion (for RG3) and running games/threat. They both get happy feet in the pocket as well. 

 

I like Wilson, as you. He's an excellent "game manager" as you say. But of course he's helped by that great defense and running game. He's more "clutch" than Luck I'd say, as well. 

 

I think Tannenhill (who no one ever mentions) may end up being better than RG3 and Kaepernick. And I was mentioning him last year as a better pocket QB than those two. 

 

As far as Cam: Don't forget Newton's handicapped, by easily "the worst and most inconsistent coaching" out the group, which effects his stats, wins and overall reputation. That has something to do with is "consistency". 

 

As I keep saying: If Rivera allows Cam and The Panthers to score a TD last weeks (particularly a passing one by Cam), he has 3 TD's 1 INT, 280+ yards, a win. And now the Panthers are 2-1. Who would complain, except the haters?

 

Football's not a perfect sport. Sometimes you look better or worse, depending on the moment. However, Rivera didn't give his team a chance to win. And instead, he wanted to cling to 3-6 pt lead, by trying to inexplicably run the clock out. That was unforgivable, and [it's things like that  which] continually handicaps Newtown more than we'd ever realize. 

 

Yesterday was better. But I still don't trust Rivera, and would fire him at the end of the year, regardless. Just look at what Andy Reid has done to the lowly Chiefs?

 

Various teams, seem to cycle through good and bad years. However, the Panthers just stay perpetually bad. I congratulate them for their win yesterday. But the Panthers need better than Ron Rivera as Head Coach.

Lol damn Cam gets zero respect. He starts getting wins people will take notice again.

Actually Cam does get a lot of respect as a QB. Even yesterday they were marveling at his accomplishments so far. But sadly u're right, his accomplishments do get diminished a bit when placed in the full picture of playing for the Panthers.

And he looks so goofy when he rans. He's the most unathletic looking athletic QB
