Nfl.com, Who would you want to start your franchise with? Luck or Cam?

I think Cam's ceiling is higher than Luck's and we are seeing that now.

However, I think Luck can play at his ceiling for longer than Cam can play at his.

I agree with this to a point but I think Came game is still evolving.  I know people worry about durability but I think so far Cam has been sidelined for broken ribs (ankle?) and got into a nasty brawl with a car and a truck.  I know they cleaned up the ankle but can't remember if that or the ribs was the issue.  

Cams ms percentage is rising and I suspect his scramble will become less daring. His frame shields him a great deal so I think assuming future durability issues is premature.

That video was from right before our game against them.

A lot has changed since then.  

But Luck has been overrated since he stepped foot in the league.  He has been good, but over hyped.

I would take Cam 10 of of 10 times.  He STILL hasnt reached his full potential and he already has an MVP under his belt

I think cam can play at lucks ceilin for as long as luck can play at his.

you and I are cam guys but you've always thought he couldn't play well into his 30s, I think differently, especially after what I saw this past year. His athleticism makes him special. But he can sit in the pocket and throw and mentally beat teams.

you could make an argument that when cam loses his athleticism defenses will no longer have to worry about that aspect and can zone in more accordingly, still think Cam has what it takes to sit in the pocket and win for the twilight of his career.

As for luck, his biggest thing is decision making. He can make Aaron Rodgers-esque throws. Some of the most beautiful passes I've seen have come from him. He just regularly makes terrible decisions, which is fixable. What's weird is he has been pro-ready since day one so I don't really understand his deal. Maybe too much pressure with terrible defenses and running games? I know o-line had been a major issue and they just beefed up majorly. He's a baller but he needs to mature in his decision making.

Isn't this video from week 7?

I don't know when the video came out. I found the video by googling Cam Newton,  and filtering the results to just show me the articles from the last 24 hours.       Granted, this method is wrong sometimes,  as older content is pushed to the front when something on their page gets updated.   It doesn't make anything in the video less entertaining though.  :)

The strength with which Cam applies to those "wow" throws that he can regularly make within the pocket are quite frankly at times like nothing I've ever seen before. That isn't homerism, just think about that laser last season with a smoke trail behind it that he literally threw as close as humanly possible right by by a defenders helmet for a touchdown.

He has the ability, and physique to shred defenses with his arm for the next decade.

If you look at the video, it shows Carolina is 6-0

Has everyone had a mind wipe when it comes to Luck's season last year? He was terrible, worse than any season Cam has ever had.

He gets the free white pass card
