Newton vs. Dalton: the raw numbers

Since both of these guys came into the league at the same time, I thought a comparison of their overall production would be fun. Here it is:

 

Career:         Games           Comp %          Yards        Y/A      TD's     TD%     Int.     Int%    Rate     4QC     GWD

 

Newton             52                59.9                12,282     7.7      69        4.3       43       2.7       87.1     7            7

Dalton               52                61.1                12,286     7.1      84        4.8       50       2.9       86.6     6          11

 

But, of course, Newton has a tremendous edge in mobility so let's add in their rushing stats for a total offense, total touchdown comparison:

 

                    Total yards       Total Touchdowns    Total Offense per game    Total Touchdowns per game

Newton           14,356               97                             276                                     1.9    

Dalton             12,769               92                             246                                     1.8    

 

The mobile Newton has a clear edge, though it is probably not as great as most people would assume. Also, a scrambling Quarterback is not an unmixed blessing. While Newton has been sacked 125 times to Dalton's 100, he has also LOST 937 yards on those sacks, compared to 579 yards for Dalton. In any event, those numbers were not included, though for a more honest appraisal, they probably should have been.

       

 

And for this year (both have played 4 games):

 

                                 Comp %          Yards    Y/A         TD's     TD%     Int.     Int%    Rate     4QC     GWD

 

Newton                      61.2                 983       7.6          5          3.9        1        0.8        94.6       0           0

Dalton                        64.8                 926       8.6          4          3.7        1        0.9      100.3       1           1

 

 

Personally, I am looking forward to seeing what Dalton can do with A.J. Green on the bench, although Green has not been his dominant self this year. As a matter of fact, Panthers rookie Kelvin Benjamin has been arguably just as effective this season with Green averaging 78 yards a game and Benjamin 73 yards per game. 

 

I say the Panthers find a way to run a little on a suddenly suspect Bengal defense, get just enough pressure to make Dalton uncomfortable and pull out a 20-17 upset on the road.

 

Enjoy the game everyone !!!

Dalton is ok  but in the end he seems to lose composure at crunch time. that is just my perception.

QB's don't work in a vacum. Part of their success comes from those around them. I think the question should be posted like this:

 

Would you rather have:

 

Dalton with Carolina receivers Smith and LaFell (9 TD's between them last year)

 

OR

 

Newton with Cincinnati receivers Green and Jones (21 TD's)

 

So tell me now who you would feel better building a team around.

Cam's PR is 94.6 this year, and how does last week not count as a 4QC and GWD?

 

I took the numbers from Pro-Football reference.

 

My apologies for Newton's PR this year, I read the wrong line as I was typing the info. I have edited the OP.

 

As far as the 4QC and GWD's are concerned, I am sticking with the original numbers.

 

Frankly I am not sure how that stat is computed. It possibly might have something to do with length of drives or something. I really don't know.

Good grief. I never said or even insinuated Dalton was better than Newton.

 

I just laid out the actual stats of the two QB's heading into tomorrow's match-up.

 

Of course nothing happens in a vacuum. You can spin the numbers anyway you like.

 

If I compared the two defenses would you guys be wetting your pants over it ???

 

Jeeze.

Just like the newton luck debate there is different variables. Dalton not only has had the best WR/TE duo of the bunch he has had just as good a run game and defense of the bunch added on top of two of the best OCs of the bunch. He is in a perfect situation for him where Newton and Luck sometimes have less support.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

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

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
