Cam Newton, the next Steve Young? But better?

Only 8 rushing TDs away from him as well.

The next Cam Newton.

[The Huddler]

The NFL has never seen a Cam Newton

 

there is no "Cam is the next"

I was a 49 fan during that time. So I watched Steve Young, I rooted for Steve Young, you sir (Cam) are no Steve Young, you are better

Lotsa folks remember Steve Young being great. Few recall how long it took for him to get to that point.

There was a reason behind that 'monkey off my back' clip on the sidelines of the Super Bowl.

Speaking of Steve Young, he just scored again against the Chargers in Superbowl 29.

I love that joke.

Young was a talented guy who was dropped into perhaps the greatest situation for a QB in the history of the NFL from a coaching and overall offensive talent level perspective.

USFL plus Tampa Bay and he never was able to get it together until he got to SF (coaching definitely helped there).

Who did he play for in the USFL? The LA Express?

If Cam was the QB of Youngs team he would have the kind of season he had at Auburn. 30 passing TDs, 20 rushing TDs. Go undefeated and win the Super Bowl.

Steve Young might make a Pro Bowl or two if he was the QB of the current Panthers in his prime.

The 49ers were the last dynasty of the pre-salary cap era. I thought Siefert would be a good coach for the Panthers....hey everybody is wrong once in awhile

Ugh. Don't remind me.

It's funny looking back on certain players and certain situations.  I remember two different occasions involving incoming quarterbacks where I thought "Well this team is screwed"  The first was Steve Young, the next was Tom Brady.  Now Young was following the great Joe Montana so it's easy to have this thought, but Brady was just following Drew Bledsoe...still I thought both would be bad transitions and I was wrong on both counts.  Of course Steve Young had a nice supporting cast in his early days if I remember correctly.

[Moorgan]

Steve Young was awesome. Being stuck on Tampa Bay hurt his early career but once he got to SF he showed what he was capable of. I'd put him top ten of all time.

[Datawire]

Wasnt old enough to give a crap about football back then, wish they would replay those old school games in the offseason.

Ive never even seen a game with Joe Montana. Would like to watch him 1 time atleast.

And you should. God I love the internet.
