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?

    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
