FO Film Room: Kaepernick and Newton

[Ken]

Kaepernick is exactly who I thought he was. He has no awareness for the game AT ALL. Right now, it's, a draw between Wilson and Cam for top young QB.

Wilson-Newton

Luck

RgMe

Tannenhill

Kaepernick

Andy Dalton

Dalton is garbage.

[jtnc]

Dalton is garbage.

Which is why he is last.

Funny how people want to jump on the Cam bandwagon now when he's winning. The funny thing is that when he was losing he was still scoring TDs late in the game...the defense would just end up giving the lead away. Winning cures all..Cam still needs to be more accurate in the short to intermediate throws. His 25 yard+ balls are probably top 10 in the league but he's gotta get better at the precision stuff. When that happens...good lord.

[Sam Mills Fan]

Kinda unrelated, but anyone else LOVING the struggles RG3 is having and how the media has turned on him after they crowned his ass over Cam last season/offseason?

[CPcavedweller]

It's not a slight, just pointing out the obvious that Cam's footwork still gives him trouble at times. Thankfully he continues to make great strides there, so no worries.

Just the comparison to Kaep is enough to make me cringe. In my opinion, Cam is ahead of Colin in every phase of the game. I think it's more favorable to compare Cam with Wilson or Luck, even though he continues to raise the bar that these guys continuously have to match.

I honestly won't even have him on the list. lol

His argument at the end for why Newton isn't on Wilson or Lucks level is because he isn't as accurate as they are? Uhhhhhhhh Luck has a career accuracy percentage of 56...56 this year he is 59% compared to Cams 64 and these guys get paid to do what again? Analyze?  Great job analyzing, fail.

I think Lucks and Cams accuracy is actually pretty similar. Luck is a bit more consistent in foot work but that is it

They're close but Lucks accuracy has been consistently worse than Newtons

I'm just looking at the numbers and luck is not as accurate as newton. I mean why do we have accuracy numbers in qb stats if no one is going to use it?

[CPF4LIFE]

Dont know where he was getting at with Wilson in the pocket. Wilson has crazy legs in the pocket, he definitely makes plays but he is all over the place in the process.

Because all that stuff goes out the window when it comes to talking about Cam unfortunately. A microscope most be applied to him opposed to everyone else. Everyone here knows Cams stats trump the other guys altogether but outsiders tend to bring things into the debate that having nothing to do with performance such as press conferences, towels, and celebrations as if it those things are stats too...... thats just how it is. lol

[ajax4132]

Is it fair to say that Cam is a best passer of all the young qbs but Luck and Wilson are more refined as qbs?

Yeah I just think these people have some sort of bias in their minds. They will watch luck miss 4 wide open passes and they will watch newton miss 2 wide open passes and then say that luck is more accurate. I just shake my head. It's like they are looking for ways not to praise cam over the other qbs when he is statistically better.
