Deshaun Watson: 'More accurate, faster, elusive than Cam Newton'

[countryboi]

I will never understand why the media feels the need to build other players up on the backs of another player. 

Watson is good and Cam is good

Look at the source..smh...

I haven't seen enough of Watson to make what I would consider an informed comparison, but I'll say this.

Football analysts, even good ones (Theismann isn't) all too often get captivated by the "shiny new toys".

Yeah Watson played what 10 games? No game film on him at all for opposing defenses. Cam won MVP with zero weapons, terrible offensive coaching staff and 4 years of film on him. Extremely dumb to think of Watson anywhere near Cam.

dont see what's bad about this. cam is awesome and cam is often disrespected. you should avoid clicking on these threads if it bothers you so much.

EVERY QB is often disrespected.

It's the way the media works

Guy could easily be the next RGIII or Kaepernixk...

RG3, Kaep, Foles, Luck, and a whole list of other guys everyone claimed was better than Cam, yet the years are proving Cam to be the best QB.

Besides Michael Vick, what other QB in the league or coming into the league can pull off the football skills Cam Newton did against Tampa Bay when he ran for what seemed like 50+ yards while juking every NFL player out of their cleats for an1st down.

I like Deshaun Watson but the media hype with him and Garoppolo is outrageous. They already have their busts made in Canton with less than a full season of work. I will wait to see how defenses adjust to them.

There's a lot to be said for having Hopkins as your number 1 vs KB and Funch. 

[GoobyPls]

They do this every season with Cam.

so says Joe Theismann

"I think he has a chance to be MVP of the league this year," former quarterback Joe Theismann said in a telephone interview. "I thought he was off to a terrific start last year. He has a rare combination of athleticism and ability to work from the pocket.

He's more accurate than Cam Newton, faster than Cam Newton, more elusive than Cam Newton."

 

 

 

 

discuss

I wonder if Joe knows who Deshaun’s hero was in high school and college and who he aspired to be?

[Seltzer]

I remember when Joe Theismann tried to equate Santana Moss with Steve Smith...

He hasn't been relevant since Lawrence Taylor destroyed his leg... he wants so bad for the Redskins and by extension Joe Theismann to be relevant again... he is a sad man

Watson looked impressive in his limited outings last year but this is just hyperbole.

Slightly off topic, but I was once on a plane with Joe Theisman, both of us in first class. When the plane pulled up to the gate, we both headed straight to the nearest Men's room and peed. Joe didn't wash his hands.

I worked in DC in the 80s, never has an athlete been so universally disliked

i came into the office one day and they were replaying the video of him getting his ankle broken over and over again

he treated his wife and the woman he left her for like poo and was a ProAm in Winston Salem and treated the volunteers like poo

cant stand the guy but that’s ok, he likes himself enough to make up for all of the hatred

I’m a Clemson fan.  Love Watson.  Watson is nowhere near the runner Cam is.   Not close.  Hell, Kelly Bryant who followed Watson at Clemson is a better runner than Watson too.   

Cam a much stronger arm

Watson has better accuracy, touch and placement on short to mid range balls.  

Watson has that clutch gene that can’t be explained and can’t be denied.  

In terms of individual dominance in college? Cam was more dominant.  Watson was the better overall player imo
