Yes I know the thread title is grammatically incorrect, it is intentional. Anyway here in this little lovely nugget of an article by Adam Rank pointlessly debating who is more like Superman in the NFL: Cam Newton or Adrian Peterson.

Frankly I don't get the comparison. Anyway the article basically states that Adrian Peterson (the best running back in the NFL) is a better running back than Cam Newton (the quarterback). If it's just because Cam does a superman celebration after rushing TDs then maybe we should publish hateful articles about Rodgers doing his discount double check when he's no longer the reigning champion. Maybe we should compare Victor Cruz to the best salsa dancers in the world and critique his form. Reading the comments is really funny, it's amazing how well the media has duped so many people into thinking Cam is a douchebag and is entirely responsible for the Panthers lack of success.

Why they didn't compare AP to other running backs, or Cam to other quarterbacks or other second year players is flat out puzzling. Rank just tossing more hate around proving a point that didn't need to be proven. Did you guys know AP is a better running back then Cam? I sure as hell didn't (facepalm).

Yea I saw that article yesterday, typed up a post about it then just clicked back to the forum without posting because it was too stupid to bother with. Adam Rank is just fuging terrible. His attempts at joke articles always fail miserably.

Actually to my surprise it seems like most of the commentors agree that the article is stupid. There are some cam haters in there but most of the hate is directed at Rank for such a dumb article.


The general consensus seems to be that Cam is a borderline top 10 QB, AP is the best RB by a long shot, but that the article was still idiotic.

I wish I could get paid to write shitty articles. Guess writing shitty posts on the Huddle for free will have to do.

40 times, vertical jump.

No not RB specific, but those combine values mean dick when talking about quarterbacks.

That's what I figured. Just thought maybe I was missing something.
