Cam Newton, the next Steve Young? But 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.

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.

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 

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.

      Ironic that out of all of the multiple players listed, you zeroed in on Bryce Young and only Bryce Young. No mention of Derrick Brown or Jaycee Horn... Hell, we can even add Icky to the mix but sure... let's laser-focus on Bryce. That's a hell of a mirror for you to run into. 👀 I'm not sure what "wisdom" you think you're imparting to the front office beyond the idea that the being Panthers means that they're destined to suck forever. That doesn't exactly sound like wisdom as much as it sounds like the same relentless doompilling you've been committed to. But sure, let's pretend it's "rational" to condemn a pick after limited rookie action and an injury setback (and that anything less than full-blown pessimism is bootlicking). That's certainly the lighthouse we all need in the storm that you insist is eternal... at least until you and only you, decide it's not. Unlike you, I'm not asking anyone to leave. I'll just keep showing up with facts and context. You're more than welcome to keep showing up with doom and gloom.

      So you don’t think with his weight down /position more similar to what it was in 2023 he’s capable of 10+sacks? I don’t watch college football so just going off the write ups, like getting the opinions from folks who do

      I'm excited for Scourton. Even if the sack numbers aren't there right away, he'll contribute and has a certain floor IMO. Would be thrilled if he can turn into a Charles Johnson-type contributor one day. Never a star (though, please do), but reliable and damn good at what he does.
