Remember, in 2011,when the world laughed at Bo Jackson?

After playing some ultimate teams on Madden, with Bo as my running back, I remembered the bold statements Bo Jackson said about Cam during his draft year, 2011. I also recalled how many I knew thought he had "taken too many shots to the head."

 

Quote

 

Jackson also says Newton compares favorably to some of the all-time great NFL players.

“When you speak of Cam Newton, I’ll put it to you just like this: He has the arm strength and power of Dan Marino and John Elway combined,” Jackson said. “He is quicker than Michael Vick, faster than Michael Vick. And he will run over you with the power of a Jerome Bettis, Bo Jackson, Earl Campbell. That’s the kind of guy he is.”

 

 

How spot on was he from the very beginning. We are lucky my friends: Cam will go down as one of the best players to ever play the game. Now go get us a Super Bowl Cam.

Bonus: The comments are hilarious to read again.

He isn't quicker and faster than Vick.  He's insanely quick and fast for his size, but not quicker and faster than Vick.  He's a much better QB though and honestly an even more effective runner than Vick due largely to the fact that defenses have to have a lot more respect for his ability to throw the ball.

As an Auburn alum, you don't know how much it pleases me to have Bo and Cam as Auburn legends and Heisman Trophy winnners.

Their statues are well earned.

It was bold in the quote. I didn't point it out.

What about everything except for the word "Vick."

    • 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.
