Cam Newton QB / Carolina Panthers

The most physically gifted and physically imposing quarterback in the NFL who was a super-worthy MVP last year. He has more trophies and more title game appearances in his future. He lifts a very limited offensive cast each and every week and finds new ways to keep winning football games. He's also maturing each year as well, though he's still prone to a misstep or two.

I agree with that assessment mostly.  Of the others on the list I feel like Eli is too high even with two Superbowls, Teddy Bridgewater is a category low.  But the main thing I took out of this article is that Matt Ryan is the worst QB in our division.  Suck it Falcons!

Jason La Canfora did a good job with this article. I feel strange because I'm used to train wreck articles that I have to bitch about.

Wilson and Cam will be at war for many years to come. Brees is falling due to age. His arm just doesn't have the power anymore.

The Palmer ranking makes no sense at all to me.  He debated putting him in Tier 2... or Tier 5?  I'm no Dalton fan by any stretch, but his ranking caught my eye for comparison.  He's Tier 4 because, "Lack of anything close to success in truly big games is damning with me."  He's been to the playoffs every year he's been in the league.  Yeah, he's lost them all, but he's played in the same amount of playoff games as Palmer, and is 9 years younger.  Palmer is 2 Tiers higher, and he's never done jack poo.  Hell, two of his four playoff appearances ever, were this past season, and the dude is bout to be 37.  Just puts a giant turd stain on his whole ranking system.

He can say they are "tiers" but I call bs.

If you read the other "assessments" it is clear he is not only creating tiers he is ranking them within the tiers.  I just think it is yet another stupid ranking of qb's with Cam listed as 7th best.  He clearly struggled with putting Brees and Romo in tier two.

He groups Luck with the "young stars"?  Says his time on the bench will serve him well?  

stupid offseason is stupid

      I’m gonna say it… I’m proud of Bryce.

      By ImfromClayton · Posted

      We don't have to tear down Dak to appreciate what Bryce did yesterday. Dak had 0 running game. If the cowboys were better, he'd be a legit MVP candidate if he keeps playing this way.  They did it with Ceedee last year, but they do a better job of anybody we play consistently of getting their best receiver off Jaycee.  Bryce was good too. If we just catch the ball that was intercepted, we probably win by 7+, and Bryce goes over 200 yards passing.  Biggest shift the last few weeks has been play calling. I thought Canales abandoned the run game way to early at times last year. This year he really seems to be sticking with it.  I still think Chuba is better at making 4 yards when there's nothing there, but Rico is better at making 30 yards when there's 6 there. I like the direction. Hopefully we can get Moton, Sanders and Coker back and really be dangerous. Our play action game is pretty deadly right now.  Unrelated: My favorite quality about Bryce right now is his ability to see the defensive hold and throw the ball there. He EXPOSES the officials when they don't call it. That one on Tetaroia yesterday late in the game was a bad miss on their part.

      This is a game the Panthers should win... just the sort of game they lose. The Panthers have a bad habit that goes back years of playing down to the competition's level only to mess around and lose the game. The Jets game should be taken very seriously! But I want to enjoy the fact that they beat the Cowboys for at least another day or so!
