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.

      a look at our 19 udfas

      I tend to look at all of these guys and wonder how committed they are to doing special teams? It's a big deal when you're fighting for roster spots. And we need massive refreshes to all phases of the special teams game. And the idea that four or five of these players could see rotational use outside of special teams would be a win. This team has accumulated quite a bit of dead wood over the last five years and its time to take an axe to some of it. These new fellows have a shot to benefit from that if they can really push. That being said, wow that receivers room is crowded right now. I'm not sure if I was a vet player with more than 2 years experience other than Adam Thielen if I'd be too sure of my future here. Tet is guaranteed a spot, Coker earned his for sure and they aren't done with XL developing yet. That's only two to three spots left for the entire room. It's going to be very competitive and better for Bryce's future, too. Safety and linebacker are the opportunity spots here this season. There's room for the right guy and we may see a starter eventually from one of these UDFAs, either by merit or injury.

      Aho and Jarvis just gripping it too tight right now. Relax, play their 200 ft game and the shots will start to find the net. Freddie has been excellent and welcome back Mista Svechnikov. Burns.....well, thank goodness for Slavin.
