We are witnessing a QB rewrite the unwritten rules for how to play QB

When Cam Newton was drafted all of the talk was about how Vince Young and Jarmarcus Russell had failed and he was bound to meet the same fate. He was too cocky. Too brass. "Oversexualized" according to one reporter in Tennessee. He couldn't play in the pocket they said. "Running QBs" don't last long.

In his 6 and a half years in the league Cam has opened the door to the Watsons, Wentzs, Russel Wilsons and Tyrod Taylor's of the NFL. It just so happens that 'conventional' guys like Tom Savage and CJ Beatheart or whatever the fug stink it up every week. Every time Cam dances or celebrates or walks out after the 10 stupid question is hurled his way, or protests his coaches awful call on 4th down people clutch their pearls in horror. Then he leads his team to a W. Rinse and repeat.

He is an icon and entertainer and he has opened the door for many after him because of his leadership and love of this game. The rest of the NFL is barely watchable because too many teams refuse to accept that it is 2017. Cam was the pilot. On to Miami.

This is the exact dumb poo that turn people off of Cam, fanboy crap. 

 

We get it, but no Cam isn’t revolutionizing anything because no one can. Cam is playing to his strengths which happen to be rare as a qb and thus an unseen style is emerging...for Cam. But Brady’s style works as does Wilson’s and Wentz (for now). I think the lesson is more so to play good QBs to their strengths to become great, all with have different styles. I personally don’t see any elite qb that plays like another one to say one followed the other and in a sense that’s what makes them elite, including Cam when he’s in the mood.

Yes, Cam opened the door for good QBs to be good QBs and nobodies to be nobodies

They hate Cam or Cam talk more than anyone on this board, but we’re quick to show up.

There are numerous fans here that truly understand and empathize on a human level regarding the public dynamic surrounding Cam Newton, and what he's faced both fair and unfair throughout his career so far. But there are unfortunately many more that would rather shield ignorance and pretend it isn't there rather than directly address it. It's a shame, but it's not going to change.

      One man’s trash…

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I would heavily push back on the notion of Tomlin and Cowher inheriting "collapsed teams." From 1980 to 1991(prior to Cowher and after their Super Bowl victories) the Steelers experienced just 4 sub .500 seasons. In fact the winning percentage for those years was 0.505. At most that was relatively mediocre, something fairly akin to the pre-Tepper Panthers. From Cowher through Tomlin(1992 to Present) it has been the NFL's best franchise. 22 playoff appearances, 4 Super Bowl Appearances, 2 Titles, 15 times winning the division. In fact they have only experienced 3 sub .500 records in that 34 season span.  That isn't ever a scenario where rebuilding happens. It's constant and consistent retooling so that your franchise floor is always high. It's smart business decisions, exceptional drafting and quality personnel moves that create a situation where that floor STAYS high.  It was precisely BECAUSE we opted to go through a complete teardown and "rebuild" without any of that competence being in the organization at all that led us to where we are currently. A situation that will more than likely continue for well over a decade longer.  Long term successful franchises do not "rebuild." They are in a constant state of competent flux that sustains them through some leaner periods without ripping the foundation completely out that led to that success in the first place.

      Houston's OL sucks but Stroud has also definitely regressed. Similar story to Jayden Daniels in Washington. Both guys looked like future MVPs as rookies but sustaining success in the NFL at QB is hard. The more tape there is on you for opposing DCs to study the harder it gets.
