Cam isn't the rushing QB Mike Vick was...

I really wish they'd stop comparing Cam to Vick.  Cam is a better passer through this point in his career, and he's a different style of runner.  Comparing Vick to Cam would be like comparing Jim Brown to Marshall Faulk, they play the position in totally different ways.  Fact of the matter is that Cam is a very unique talent, and I think instead of us comparing him to other players, we need to realize that in the history of the NFL, there has only been 1 Cam Newton and future QB's of his build and skillset will be compared to him.

Cam is like some ridiculous MEGA fusion of Big Ben and Mcnabb before I compare him to Vick.

I miss those scrappy battles between Dan Morgan, young TD, Pep, Ruck, etc going against the Speed Demon Vick.

A shame Vick had to do what he did. 

Maybe, but I sure as hell don't miss listening to the commentary during those games. My god, listening to commentators  made it seem as if the Panthers were lucky to have Vick grace them with his presence on the field.

Cam is a freak of nature, he's got a top flight running backs talent and skill set in a 6-5 250ilb frame with an explosive arm.

Since he came into the league you can actually compare his rushing numbers to big time running backs. 

But thanks to his position, he doesn't have as much wear and tear.

      Moton extension. 2 more years, $44M

      By Loyalty4Life · Posted

      In your opinion. What do you think Moton's true value in contract, dollars and guarantees? If we had not extended him, what is your plan for RT in 27 and 28? How important are good offensive linemen for our current offense? How much value do you put on protecting Bryce at this stage of his career? How difficult in general do you think finding above average tackles in the NFL is?

      Falcons with Major Offensive Line Injuries to Start the Season

      By Seltzer · Posted

      The Falcons have 2 significant offensive line injuries to start the 2025 season. Right tackle Kaleb Mcgary (who is the blindside protector for Penix since he is left-handed) is going to miss significant time, and it's looking more like it may be all season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-expect-kaleb-mcgary-to-miss-significant-time https://x.com/BKsquared7/status/1959285822236107013. Also, the top backup and swing tackle, Storm Norton (cool name BTW) is having ankle surgery and may miss half the season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-ot-storm-norton-out-6-8-weeks-after-ankle-surgery I don't root for injuries, but its also hard to be too sympathetic given how badly injuries have hit us in recent years. We definitely need to get that W in week 3 for our home opener at BOA. Despite our collective frustration at not being able to attend TC and then having boring preseason games, ultimately the most important objective of the preseason is to enter Week1 healthy, and we have at least done that. Hopefully the depth we think we have at Oline either shines through or isn't needed. Many other teams are in a bad spot with their offensive lines before the season even starts. For once, we aren't in that situation.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By CRA · Posted

      That roster was billed as a super smart and strong unit for a young QB….until he sucked though.   it didn’t have superstars but it had proven vets that checked well all the safe boxes and it was universally agreed the Panthers were putting him into position to succeed. BY just doesn’t fit a traditional O because he isn’t built like a traditional QB.  And he still doesn’t.   CJ Stroud would have had more success here than Bryce with that cast.   CJ just has the tools that fit the NFL more easily.  Young can find success but I have always argued it would take a Bryce centric plan (which we have never attempted IMO)
