What is the Cam Newton standard?

So I was watching Dave Dameshek and Bucky Brooks on a segment where they were talking about teams that can make the playoffs in the NFC after week 6. Bucky Brooks says CAR isn't one of them, right there, Dameshek stops him and goes on to praise Cam. He says with no firepower, Cam has kept CAR alive.

 

This was Bucky Brooks' reply: "Its an unbelievable standard that Cam Newton is held to that some other QBs aren't held to the same standard. I think we still expect him to be superman but we have not given him enough to do heroic things."

So fellow huddlers, what is the Cam Newton standard, who set this standard? Is it fair or unfair?

When drafted I just wanted someone that gave us a chance. Now, fair or not, the GOAT is my standard. To whom much is given, much is expected. So far, I have not been disappointed. He has been to this stage of his career and I fully believe he's on his way.

Yes but why? Why do people feel like he has to do it alone? Is it because he is 6'5" 250lbs?

Because he really is THAT talented, and people expect him to be able to take games over by himself and win a game involving 21 other people on his team, by himself. It is like how Lebron was treated before he won a title. It's not hard to see that pound for pound Cam is pretty much the most individually talented player in the league.

yes its because he is 6'5" 250lbs can truck linebackers, can superman dive over his offensive lineman and has a laser rocket arm and he won a national championship at the juco and division 1 level and was drafted #1 overall.

 

its like what people have said about him. if you were building a quarterback it would be cam newton. it clouds peoples judgement about this being a TEAM sport. Cam figured that out around year 2.

it's the lebron thing.

 

seriously most gifted athlete at the most important position people expect him to win it by himself.

 

That and the fact that they hate him as much as people hated Lebron for a few years, which is absurd since neither Lebron or Newton are societal menaces.

 

Name one reason why Cam Newton should be "hated" by anyone who doesn't hate the Panthers in general?

So everyone has lionized Luck as the next legend, and criticized Cam Newton from day one and said that he's a fraud and won't pan out, and your standard for Newton is "Greatest of All-Time"?

 

People like you are the main problem.

 

My standard for Cam is not to overthrow most of his passes, to make smart plays, and not be the reason the team loses. If the other guys do their jobs, Cam can lead them to a Super Bowl. I just want to see him win one primarily because of his play so ESPN can be told to kiss his @$$.

Actually I was watching a segment on CBS by Boomer et al on building the perfect QB. They had Luck for the body and Cam was not mentioned for any of the other parts.

      Your Feelings on Bryce Through 3 Seasons? (POLL)

      By Hoenheim · Posted

      I fully expect them to pick up his 5th year , and they're waiting for him to put a full excellent consistent season of QB play in year 4 or 5. If that don't happen,  they'll eventually cut ties.  Here's to hoping he just goes on a team in 2026. The worst thing he could do is continue to see-saw us to around .500 records because it might be impossible to replace him at that point unless youre willing to do the veteran qb carousel poo we did from 2019 to 2023.

      Your Feelings on Bryce Through 3 Seasons? (POLL)

      By Hoenheim · Posted

      What do you think of Bryce Youngs career thus far? Are you excited about his progress or is it not enough for you? I included a poll of ranking his performance through 3 years thus far.  I personally think he's made some decent progress. Has had some high moments (last half of 2024, Rams game, ATL game in 2025)  but in my mind, those are still outweighed by the many more lowlights thus far (ex turnovers, missed throws, poor decisions)  It's a very mixed bag for me. He's done enough to get a 5th year option but by no means should we lock him in with a 50+ mil a year multi year deal. I want to see him play consistently well for a full year before that happens (yes, I'm still saying that going into year 4. That might be telling).  Just sucks when you see CJ Stroud, Jayden Daniel's, Caleb Williams almost immediately lighting poo up with their arm talent. Maybe Bryce is just an ultra slow burn. I don't know what to think anymore. Guess we're gonna be stuck with him for a whilr unless we end up being bad enough to earn a high pick next year. I doubted it lol. Overall Stats for his career:       ● 14 W - 30L (regular season)       ● 0-1 playoffs record        ● 61.4% completion, 8291 passing yards, 49 TDs, 30 INTs  Year 1:       ● 2 wins, 14 losses      ● 60% completion rate, 2877 passing yards, 11 TD to 10 INTs, 5.5 yards per attempted pass Year 2:        ● 4 wins , 8 losses        ● 60.9% completion rate,  2403 passing yards, 15 TD, 9 INTs,  6.3 yards per attempted pass  Year 3:        ● 8 Wins, 8 Losses         ● 63.6% competition rate, 3011 passing yards, 23 TDs to 11 INTs  Playoffs         ● 1 game in year 3 ( 0 - 1 in playoffs)         ● 21/40 (52.5% completion rate), 264 passing yards, 1 TD, 1 INT.
