Ehhhhhh. I don't know about that.

How many of those QB's can replicate what he brings to the run game, which in turn opens up our passing game?

Not only pure rushing yardage, and touchdowns, but those crucial 3rd down conversions at critical points in games.

There isn't another Cam Newton in the NFL right now.

That's kind of my point.  You don't need to be Cam to win with this team, because they are strong in many areas.

Based on what exactly? This was a 2 win team before Cam Newton came along.

Yes we have a very good defense right now. We know that. But our offense is still putting up 20+ points per game.

On the offensive side of the ball, so much of our offense is predicated on what Cam Newton is doing at any given moment. The threat of him running opens up the entire offense as a whole. CRA pointed out that Newton is 5th the NFL in rushing 1st downs, and 3rd in the NFL in rushing touchdowns. You cannot understate how huge that is for our offense. Removing that for another quarterback changes everything, and not in a good way.

Besides, there are maybe two or three other quarterbacks in the NFL at this moment who could have their team sitting at 11-0 with Ted Ginn Jr as their #1 WR.

Probably based on Derek Andersons two wins last year.

Not that I'm taking sides...but that is something.

We are strong on Defense.  Our current O also aids them in being strong.

Take Cam out....we have a defense that will be weakened b/c we then have weak WRs, a meh run blocking OL, and an okay pass blocking OL.   Name a QB that isn't a future HOFer that wins has won in that scenario?

Cam masks lots of things and makes people think we are "okay" in areas we really aren't.

please what would our record be without Cam

Or Luke...

Or Davis...

Or Olsen...

Or Norman...

Or Short...

Or Stewart...

Or Ealy...

Or Star...

Or Tillman...

Do I need to list our whole oline, finish the secondary and name a few specific holy sh*t plays our WRs have made in clutch time or are you capable of recognizing Cam isn't the whole team?

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • 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.
