I just realized something. Cam Newton has been huge for a while

I was looking up Panther highlights and stuff because, well, I'm so hyped for next season, and I came across this gem:

This kid looks like a freaking freight train his junior year. Like if you mashed up the Hulk and Superman together.

I don't think I've ever seen a highschool QB look this intimidating. Like how do these kids play without cowering in fear? Cam Newton looks like a bulldozer ready to flatten a chicken. And this is in highschool folks!

I'm so glad we have this monster as our QB.

Anyways, I need to sober down a bit. Just take what you will out of this.

When I said repeatedly he has the greatest resume and skill set of a (now) 27 year old in the history of team sports, this was certainly part of it.

Considering we're looking at the resume of players in team sports I can't agree with this until we win some championships, or at least just one.

At age 27, again, resume AND "skill set".  High School, 3 national championships in 3 years in college, the greatest single season in CFB history, and greatest first five years in NFL history playing THE premium position in sports.

Remember it took MJ 7 years to get #1.

Still don't agree. High school, and college are irrelevant. Not the highest level. And I can't agree with greatest first five years in the NFL history. MJ has absolutely nothing to do with this discussion.

Who has a better resume and skill set in NFL history (first five years) and why?  It's not even remotely close.

    • This is always a non-story by the time camp begins.  
    • I've really only begun to pay attention this week being that training camp is looming, so I was personally caught off guard by the fact that Nic Scourton remains unsigned. That's not necessarily bad news, but it's not necessarily good news either. Apparently it's a thing with this year's draft class. "Of the 32 players selected in the second-round, 30 remained unsigned and the clock is ticking. "Already we've seen one second-round pick hold out from the start of training camp with that player being Los Angeles Chargers' wide receiver Tre Harris. Harris did not report with the rest of the Chargers' rookies on Saturday due to his contract situation, a issue that could impact nearly every other team in the league. "For the Panthers, defensive end Nic Scourton is the player to watch for when rookies start showing back up to the team facilities next week. "The 51st overall pick is one of the 30 second-rounders who has yet to sign their rookie contract and the reason why is due to the other two that have actually signed. "Cleveland Browns' linebacker Carson Schwesinger and Houston Texans' wide receiver Jayden Higgins each signed fully guaranteed contracts as the first and second players drafted in the second-round. Prior to this year, second-round picks never received a fully guaranteed deal, only players selected in the first-round." https://atozsports.com/nfl/carolina-panthers-news/panthers-nic-scourton-contract-second-round-pick-training-camp-hold-out-tre-harris/ So, I suppose we'll see what's what pretty soon. It's definitely something to monitor.
    • overwhelming majority of kids in travel ball aren't getting scholarships though because most teams are rec caliber (and not watched by scouts)    and parents/leagues sort of helped create this system and narrative IMO where travel ball is now oversaturated and most of it is simply expensive rec ball.  is travel beneficial for some athletes to get more exposure? Sure. The ones travel actually existed for.   I still think travel has expanded entirely too broad at this stage......where they will now have 5 teams per year in your backyard area pending they can get parents to write those checks.   Ain't no scout ever laying eyes on 90%+ of the kids in travel ball at this stage of where it has morphed into.
