Just call it the snow, or Championship Weekend Edition on the Huddle today with all the various articles, links and videos posted here. LOL

This is actually an interesting one.

On a show with Steve Smith as a guest, Fox broadcaster Colin Cowherd may have made the most engaging comments and comparisons.

Yes, former "hater" (to some), Colin Cowherd has progressively became a Newton convert this season. And now it maybe a full blown Hard On, Man Crush by him?

Just goes to show, how one can differ about a player when they get to watch them more often, and/or that player starts winning.

Commenting on guest Drew Bledsoe's earlier appearance. Just listen to what Cowherd says when a caller compares the presumed budding Newton vs Wilson QB rivalry as the new Brady vs Manning:

Quote

As some one called earlier, and said Russell Wilson and Cam Newton will be the new Brady and Manning. Eh, eh; errh.

Russell Wilson has the chance to win a lot of Football games, and is going to be a very good Quarterback. But the leap from very good to all time; you're talking about the difference between Phil Simms and Dan Marino. You're talking about arm strength, size....Dan Marino's an all timer...  John Elway's all timer... Brett Farve's an all timer.

Phil Simm's a good Quarterback. Russell Wilson's a good Quarterback. Kenny Anderson; good Quarterback. Brian Sipe in Cleveland; good quarterback! Jay Cutler, Tony Romo; those are good Quarterbacks. I really like Tony Romo.

But, when you're talking all time talent at the Quarterback position. You're talking Joe Namath;Terry Bradshaw; Troy Aikmen. You know, there's a difference between a model and a supermodel. There a million models. Not too many supermodels.

Yes.Those were his exact comments verbatim.

Now some of us may disagree with a few of his "all time talent" examples, such as Troy Aikmen (who was very talented, but hated pressure IMO), and maybe even Terry Bradshaw, who played on a loaded-on both sides of the ball-Superbowl team in a run first era to some, being compared to the likes of Elway, Farve, and Marino... But hey, those guys (Aikmen and Bradshaw) got the multiple Superbowl rings-don't they, and they're memorable?... Nonetheless, you get his point, and what's he's saying.

Note: Cowherd, and Drew Bledsoes comments start at 1:21:29 on the audio.

For those that click the link, Steve Smith starts right after (1:23:37) Cowherd's comments on Newton.

Fug Cowturd and his band-wagoning ass.

NOW? He admits Cam is a good QB?

Too late... fug him.

Funny.

Both he and Bledsoe had almost exactly the same comments.

So it just goes to show you, people can not like someone for what they perceive (at least Bledsoe admitted it/his), and allow that to cloud their football judgement.

So maybe now that they got to both watch, they actually see how good he is?

Of course they may criticize again/after. But of course, they may be as much for publicity, as it is for Haterade.

That's the business their in now. And Newton's usually Boffo talk for for media always looking for the next "story" in our 24 hr news cycle. .

People hate on Bradshaw for having talent around him and being dumb...  

 

He made all of the play calls....

ive actually loved cowherd for a very longtime and i like to listen to his rants

I've always felt that Cowherd just didn't really watch a whole lot of Cam like a lot of other analysts. He is a national guy and just focused on Brady, Manning, Brees, Rodgers and Ben. Now that Cam is up there he is paying more attention. He actually gave Cam props after the playoff loss against Seattle last year.

Never liked Cowherd whether he agreed with me or not. He's just another sports shock jock like Skip Bayless and Stephen A Smith.

I didn't watch him when most Panther fans hated him, as he said those things about Newton (didn't care, or listened to his show, ESPN).

However, I've caught him on Fox Sports recently, for whatever reasons.

Yes, he's a self indulged, narcissistic blowhard, and part time Shock Jock.

However, I would say he's a bit more insightful and complex in thought than Stephen A., and Skip Bayless. Or at least he tries. LOL

      Most hated teams

      By BEASTfromdaEAST · Posted

      After Bountygate and the information that came out on the Saints owners shielding pedophile priests in New Orleans it will forever be the Saints numero uno for me. FUG THE SAINTS! I hope this is just the beginning of a long term period of suffering for that shitty organization run by even shittier human beings. #2.Pats/Belicheat #3. Falcons (Mike Vick years then Matt Ryan/Julio running it up) Ryan pooping his pants and 28-3 def makes my bad days always better just thinking of those. #4 Pretty much any franchise fan base thats obnoxious Steelers, Eagles, Bills, Jets, Giants, Cowboys, etc.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By BEASTfromdaEAST · Posted

      Thank God DM used that #8 pick on a bona fide WR1 and not some bum pass rushing prospect like Stewart or someone else. I believe Tet is legit WR1 material and going forward will be our long term answer at that position since we desperately were in need of one once they traded away DJ Moore.  Tet could possibly end up even being better long term than someone who I respect a ton as a WR in Moore. Evans has been a pleasant surprise and great TE/FB depth piece going forward who could make the most of his opportunities.  Any good offense worth a damn in the NFL has 3 TEs that can do multiple things and being scared by Ian Thomas play for years should makes us all appreciate what Evans is quietly doing as a ROOKIE at one of the hardest positions to learn at the pro level.  Keep cooking DM. This season is not over obviously but seeing some growth out of young talent finally is a breathe of fresh fuggin air for once.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
