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.

      Another layer to that is Ive seen Seattle has been in the market for CB help this off-season.   Michael had a higher PFF grade than Horn who got 15 games this season. He wants to be here too, that's a huge bonus for any 5 win team that had awful pass rush.  The 7th rounder Michael Barrett didn't last long on Seattle, he was cut before the season I think and ended up on browns PS. He's already been on 5.......5 teams within one year.......

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      By Basbear · Posted

      You have gave the board some recent gold via posting. Heres my poor attempt at the truthful play-by-play of the time during post- I pulled out the old laptop to do my shitposting and check on websites. Open the huddle and see this new thread. Open thread and read CRAs post, {inner thinking, oooOOooo this is my lane and I got this}. Make sure not to scroll even to the 2nd post. 23% of current neurons still firing start up and two names appear- Captain and Josh....... about another 43 seconds past "O GOD" it's July 4th weekend and I got medicine to pick up. (If the laptop didn't give away my aging, the meds should...) I need to split, think long panther careers and the hint-  Ryan Kalil was a late 2nd and Pro bowls(even all-pros too) he's got to be OLman and Mikie Minter is among the all-time Panthers career leaders. Drop my post. Scramble to get keys, wallet, and phone. Check my phone- its 17% battery.....fug I now have to raw dog the pickup line and put the phone on charge.... Flip flops, sweat ringed filled hat, and shades acquired. Get in my pos rav4 and think about not running the A/C. Pull out the drive way and reach the 1st stop light, A/C is wide open. I check my shirt to see if there's any new stains on my house shirt, bush off the Bojangles salt that I see.... Neurons re-fire and focus on the comments CRA made that no one would get this....... Dang IT, that means it isn't Ryan Kalil or Mike Minter! CVS is close, but I know its impossible I get back withing 10 minutes to change my post and my phone is on the charger. {Think you monkey, at one point you were a draft nerd}. Reach the CVS line, by some grace its not 5 cars deep during 5 o'clock traffic hell. Im second in line after the car in front of me both turn in, they have to go back and forth to line up while Im a pro for that geometry. Neurons finally reach peak performance as Ive re-thought draft classes. Think obscure and unknown 7th rounders with long careers. Some Sunday/Monday night member berry fell out of my Melon, Will montgomery during the players intros for washington. I thought he out of the league and was shocked to see him still playing around the 2015 years. I do a goggle background check and that refreshed memory. Pick up the meds and enjoy the sweet smelling cool CVS air. Driving back and check in on one of the local bums at the big stop light, wow he's got a new fancy rug. Think about all the old food I got and need to start giving it away and rethink it. Reach home and post a follow up and I know Minter is wrong too, I check the draft history and see Robert Mcclain. Too late, but that would have been my guess....open CRAs link and get "upset" at the DBs name.
