David Newton: Cam is earning respect

OK, when I first saw David Newton's short little piece, like so many others this time of year, I just said "yeah yeah" and said it's barely newsworthy. But then I thought about it, and actually it's pretty damned good. 

 

When your peers think highly of you, especially as an NFL player and QB, it means something.  Not to mention that Cam Newton has legitimately made a great leap on the field from his rookie season, and a huge leap off the field regarding his leadership and maturity.  Kudos to Cam!

 

The two-time Pro Bowl selection came in at No. 24 on the NFL Network's list of the league's top 100 players voted on by his peers. That's up 22 spots from last season. 

 

 

 

Thank goodness that he is ranked higher than Kaepernick! Can I get an Amen?  

 

[Now for the trolling part, which I never do]

 

And thank you, football gods, that he is ranked ahead of the demigod that is Andrew Luck. :P

 

Seriously, Cam deserves the ascension in regards to the respect of his peers.  

 

Now, if only other NFL fans would stop "hating" on Cam due to historical Cam bashing by media sharks and pilot fish...

 

Continue to kill 'em, Cam!

Put him on an average team and then judge him. I've seen Can with absolutely nothing.. No O no D, and he breaks rookie records.

 

What about Luck? He's on an average team that got worse as the season went on and still got into the playoffs with a good stat season too.

 

 

these comparisons are so silly

 

Wilson has a ring. When Cam gets his ring he should be #1 soon at the rate he is moving up the list.

I respect luck. Luck and Cam are the best young QBs. Kaep and Wilson and ride their stacked team

We would have beaten Seattle if it wasn't for that unbelievable play by Wilson.  I'm not getting into comparing Newton with Wilson. Obviously I'm a Newton fan. I'm just saying your slightly delusional if you think Wilson is merely average.

Being likable goes a long way. Wilson is likable...so far. Cam went up because he is likable... Kaep...#81 says something.

Wilson is too damned positive and upbeat IMO. Seems forced. He's the new Peyton Manning when it comes to annoying positivity.

AFC South team vs an NFC South team. apples to oranges. Luck's team is average i agree with that, but he is in arguably the worst division in the NFL. Luck went one and done last year in the playoffs and would have done the same thing again this year if they would have stayed healthy. The chiefs were up 31 to 3 at half time. No Jamal Charles, Knile Davis, Donnie Avery, Brandon Flowers, or Justin Houston. If The chiefs stay healthy they win that game in a blowout.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      Rico walking is no big deal. I'll take a healthy 2024 Hubbard over Rico any time and losing Mays is, again, no a big deal.  Young is signed for what, $35M for the next two years? Say he wants $50M but the FO doesn't. If they put the franchise tag on him, that would be around $55? So basically they are getting Young for the next 3 years for an average of $30M per year. Putting the franchise tag on him wouldn't be my first choice but it gives them an option that wouldn't be locking him into a long term, $50M contract. I'm not suggestion they do that. Just that the option will be there should they get to that point. Hunt is on a 5 year deal which is done in 28 so he either restructures or is gone anyway. Moton will be 35 by then and will either be gone or have diminished playing time. Neither of those players has anything to do with getting Young a contract. The O line is way overpaid anyway. Hopefully by the time they are gone, Freeling and Hecht will be developed and Ickey will be healthy. Young was benched his second year and only got his job back because Dalton was injured. Not sure how you can call that entitled. And I would NOT say putting a rookie QB on a team with no receivers, tight ends or O lineman and then being put with a coach who never wanted you and is fired mid season, is a definition of luck. As far as competition, no team is going to bring in competition for a QB picked first overall - especially given the capital that was given up to get him.
