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.

      Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates

      This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
