Who's the 'Prototype' for the New Age QB? Newton or Luck?

Thanks. I said it yesterday and often that he is (will be) the GOAT. I'm country music and scruffy as well by the way, but I have a set of eyeballs and can look objectively at numbers. I also just got a black Newton jersey for my birthday nearly a decade after thinking I would never wear a jersey again.

Good morning Panthers fans! Our FBGP Analyst Gene Clemons took a look at both Andrew Luck & Cam Newton and analyzing why Newton is being critically undervalued for what he brings to the table.

Enjoy

Enjoyed the write up but you did get wrong one thing which Newton has always dressed better than Luck or any of the young QBs. He always is wearing suits or sweater vests. He is clean cut and is very articulate even when saying the wrong words or phrases. Ive never seen him with a backward hat on.

I hope it gets attention, FC. I do think a lot of people dont like Cam because he is prideful. I hear it mentioned often specifically from fair weather football fans, the same ones who never liked Steve Smith.

Remember the Deion Sanders interview?

Deion, "Do you smell the cologne I'm wearing?"

Cam, "No."

Deion, "It's called confidence. I wear it every day. You got that same scent."

Cam, "It smell good don't it?"

We are so lucky to not only have the GOAT, but a fun personality as well. Embrace the jealousy/hate.

Thanks Gang! Gene has done a great job with his 1st & Forever columns. We've been getting good feedback from you guys wanting written content on our site in addition to what we do with the videos.

 

I have a video coming out about players that were were ahead of their time that were considered 'busts'

I don't see how anyone can watch Newton play (of course that's part of the big problem, most don't watch him play, but are quick to talk) and say he doesn't have the impact, or even more than Luck.

 

Cam's Rookie season, and even the past two years, he's had to be most of, or the whole show.

 

Cam doesn't have the luxury of a great running game, WR's or O-Line to fall back on (which makes other young QB's jobs and stats much easier). Of course Cam and Luck are in similar scenarios (compared to Kaepernick, RG3 and Wilson). However, Lucks defense was good enough the past two years to hold onto his 4th quarter comebacks, while Cam's defense (regardless of their ratings), blew their 4th quarter leads, while Cam got the blame--though he put the team in position to win. Luck also plays in a soft division.

I agree but I personally wouldn't take anything away from Luck. He's led some breathtaking comeback drives. They are both stars.

      BREAKING: Panthers sign QB Kenny Pickett

      By poorboysrev · Posted

      Right...I think they've done really well. No one's going to bat 1000% but they've addressed areas of need and there's no comparison to the overall talent of the team now than when DC and then Morgan got the reigns. This whole season is about seeing how much of a step up can Bryce and this team make. If Bryce can't and last year is as good as it gets for him then at least we have a talented roster for the next guy. I think we're going to be good this season

      BREAKING: Panthers sign QB Kenny Pickett

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I said could, not would. I recognize he has potential based on past performance. Compared to what KP has done, Howell has more potential and the physical traits to make noise. KP has small hands and a weak arm. Not something you want in even your backup QB.  I've been hammering since last off-season before we re-signed Dalton, improve the room. Other than getting younger, I don't see how anyone can say we legitimately improved the room or even tried. We might as well have signed Josh Rosen.  Dalton is still on the roster for now. That's 3 QBs unless we trade or cut him. He's still Bryce's mentor after all. Do you believe we are going to draft someone with potential and give them a legitimate opportunity to develop from the practice squad? Are we going to carry 3 QBs on the active roster? 4 for a developmental rookie? Are we going to potentially cut KP if we draft a rookie and he's outperformed? Doubtful. Cutting Dalton(if we can't trade him) and KP would be 8m in wasted cap space.  I chose Howell as an example because he showed promise in his only full season as a starter. You could plug in another name with the physical traits and potential and what i said would still apply. KP showed almost nothing and was benched. I genuinely don't care if it’s rookie pick as long as there is the potential to develop into a future NFL QB.  As much as I can't stand him, Bellichek was always developing a number 2 QB even with the GOAT as his starter. The wisdom of that was evident when Cassell came in when Brady was hurt week 1 and went 11-5 and almost made the wildcard, which 11-5 gets you almost any other year. I give credit where it's due though. Cassel and Jimmy G both came into the league as developmental QBs, potential QB1s, and went on to have careers.  You never know if you never try. KP feels like a punt in addressing the most important position on the field. Bryce has never played 2 full games of franchise QB level football back to back.  If Bryce progresses, are you ready to offer a 280m 5 year extension based off a one hit wonder year? If Bryce regresses and we need a QB in 27, are we going to trade a fortune away again to trade up to 1 to get one? Are you ready to do the past 3 years all over again?  To me, it's not about Kenny Pickett. It's about the move itself. It was a feeble attempt to improve the QB room. We better hope Bryce succeeds, because if he doesn't, we literally have no backup plan right now.

      IOL that early isn’t good value at all. We have a LT who might not ever be good again and a RT that might retire soon. T seems deep early in this draft, so I’d go there in the 1st.
