ESPN: Who's the better runner? Cam? Or Russell Wilson

[tiger7_88]

Sweet god in heaven, they've got to be total morons to still be asking this question.

If you’re going to compare the running styles of Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton and Seattle’s Russell Wilson, who will meet Sunday in Charlotte, North Carolina, then you might as well get the opinion of the best running quarterback in NFL history.

CAM NEWTON                                             RUSSELL WILSON

905                           Career rushes                      616

4,674                        Rushing yards                  3,502

58                             Rush TDs                               16

5.2                           Average YPC                         5.7

I dunno, those TD numbers are awfully close...tough to decide.

You're talking two very different styles of runner here. It's kinda like comparing DeAngelo Williams to Todd Gurley.

[Wolfpack352]

Cam....by a mile!  Got the size advantage and not afraid to take the hits going in for a TD.  Russel moves to keep the play alive long enough to find a open man.

I don't know if calling it a style difference does Cam's abilities justice. That's like saying I have a style difference in basketball compared to Michael Jordan. Gurley is on another planet than DeAngelo when it comes to talent, and the same goes when comparing Cam to Wilson.

Yeah, I know. That wasn't an accident.

The only difference is that Russ does most of his running backwards to avoid people. 

[Cary Kollins]

Yeah I mean Wilson is talented at escaping the pocket and using his legs, but Cam is the best rushing quarterback to ever play the game.

ESPN gonna ESPN

[Mr. Scot]

To me, it's kind of like when people compare Newton and Michael Vick.

The two of them were absolutely nothing alike as runners. Vick was the speedy "track star" type. Newton is more like a running back that's powerful enough to break tackles and run people over.

There's even a bigger disparity comparing them as passers but that's another argument.

[Ricky Spanish]

Wilson seems to get his yards on Scrambles, Cam seems to get his on designed plays.

[Peppers90 NC]

Russell is a better scrambler Cam is the better designed run runner as Cam rarely looks to scramble.

[mc52beast]

There’s no comparing them. Cam has runs specifically designed for him, Wilson doesn’t. Wilson basically only runs when a play breaks down. 

Im hoping that someone retires or leaves ESPN and tells everyone why they hate Cam so much.
