ESPN: Wilson is the better overall quarterback now and in some ways is vastly superior to Newton.

Newton led all quarterbacks in rushing touchdowns (10) and was tied for second in passing touchdowns (35), becoming the only player in league historyto rack up at least 30 passing touchdowns and 10 rushing touchdowns. Despite those impressive achievements, after breaking down the game tapes and metrics, it is clear that Wilson is the better overall quarterback now and in some ways is vastly superior to Newton.

He did his job, he got clicks!

When Newton wins a Super Bowl, will he be considered as good as Wilson?  If he wins two?  Will he be better?  I think everyone gets caught up in the completion percentage numbers.  

Folks can write whatever they want, but if we had Wilson as our QB, would wouldn't be 15-1.

Why post this poo? "Thoughts?" Bitch, what kind of thoughts are you expecting? fug KC Joyner and ESPN, can we stop giving these trolls what they want by regurgitating their poo here?

Actual conversation regarding what he said. Too much to ask? 

If you never read anything that you disagree with,you will never open yourself up to anything that doesn't already confirm your opinion which leaves you with a high chance of being wrong.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
