to answer a question that's been blowing up my inbox: Cam Newton is not an NFL QB. At all. Great athlete. Heisman contender. That's all

After breaking down Christian Ponder and Cam Newton on tape, I would take Ponder over Newton. That's just me. '

Long term give me Josh Freeman over Cam. Better leader, more consistent passer, more clutch, more poised under fire, more careful with ball.

While I didn't think Cam would be a bust, I was worried about how well he could do.  There's been plenty of high profile QB's come in and bust so it's not like it doesn't happen.  I was also pretty excited about Cam's upside.  I thought he would struggle when he came in for a couple years (which he didn't), and then we would start seeing something out of him.

You really have to credit Cam and this coaching staff for their effort.

I think it's time to move on from all this nonsense. He has established himself well and I'm not sure what we can all expect from the naysayers. Most all the "experts" that criticized him have gone on record to admit they were wrong. Hell, let's be honest, 75% of the original fan base had reservations about how successful he would be at one time or another

I will forever laugh and point out the idiocy and in some cases out right slander that these pricks used against Cam.

there was never a good reason for it and they shall stew in this bile for all eternity while Cam wins trophies and MVPs.

    • 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
