Top 5 QBs in cold weather games

[Carolina Cajun]

Much as I like Newton, I'm not getting the logic on him as a cold weather QB :unsure:

 

I'd assume that the pass game is much more difficult in cold weather, thus meaning Cam's ability to run gives him an upperhand against other more passing QB's.

Were the other choices the same as the ones in the other poll (Stafford, Romo and Kaepernick)? If so, then I could see it making a lot more sense.

Does anyone have the sound clip or can they recap for me? Don't know how Cam could be #5... he's never played a cold weather game has he? Kansas City last year? Has he played a game where gametime temperature was freezing or below?

Coldest game I can think of would be Monday night in Philly last year. Temp was in the 30's at kickoff, though I don't think it was at freezing.

Want to know where ESPN gets this stuff? They just make it up. It's really as simple as that.

 

Whether it's which QB is more intelligent, or more clutch, or better when it's between 33 and 38 degrees with a rainbow in the sky, it all has the same validity.

 

None.

 

Look at the good reference sites with situational stats (like Pro Football Reference) and ignore the entertainers at ESPN.

Well Cam has historically played his best ball with us in late November and December if you go back to his rookie and sophomore years.

 

I think he gets into a running rhythm during that time that warms and loosens him up some.  Not every QB has that advantage.  Even of the other running QBs, none of them really have the make-a-defender miss moves like Cam does.

Mid 30's is worlds apars from mid 10's. We have yet to see how Cam does in a true cold weather environment. It's just ESPN being stupid again.

What team except Green Bay from the NFC we have to worry about playing mid 10's. You going a lil too far. 30s is cold enough

Aside from Green Bay you could get that cold in Denver, Buffalo, New England, Chicago, Cincinnati and Pittsburgh. Coldest game ever played was at -13 F, and in Green Bay of course.

 

My point is the ranking is stupid.

Again, Philly on Monday night last year.

I guess we'll see how he handles it in New York this February.

 

They're predicting it to be snowing like a mother fuger.

Just from what I see on tv he has big hands, I don't the cold is an issue at all. 

 

He'll get the grip on the ball
