Watching Lamar Jackson is a painful reminder just how hurt Cam has been

[Jeremy Igo]

Lamar looking like 2015 Cam Newton out there. Pisses me off to no end what could have been under competent coaching and health management. 

 

Also, I'm drinking bourbon.

 

Love,

It really is frustrating

[Go DJ that's my DJ]

I agree but Lamar is just a different level of fast. Cam just trucked guys, Lamar is leaving them in the dust.

[Billy Love]

Cam ran with power. Jackson runs/kills with speed and quickness. No comparison.

[Mr. Scot]

My mind keeps going back to when Norv turned Rivera down and joined Chudzinski in Cleveland.

Shortly after that, Mike Shula got the OC job.

Boy, would I love to know what could have been if that had gone differently.

[TheRed]

Easy to forget that Newton was doing that as recent as 2017. He was our leading rusher, and nearly led the offense to a playoff upset in NO with an absurdly thin WR core. Also started out 2018 with early MVP whispers.

Shame so many are unwilling to give him the benefit of the doubt. But then again they never did to begin with. Just waited for the next opportunity to say I told you so.

What brand?

[Wanderlai]

32nd pick and 5th QB taken taken in the 1st. A bunch of teams missed big time on him. 

[saX man]

It all began with TJ Ward, Week 1, 2016 IMO and then we ran him into the ground in 2017 and gave him an awful awful OL. 

2017 was the year that f*cked him up and he somehow retooled into having a great 2018 until we all know what happened against TJ Watt.  2017 really wore him down IMO and that's what he's still working back from as much as the injuries.  DG and Rivera really served him crap for years and Cam had to figure out new ways to win in spite of them. 

It's al these damn TJs. 

BLAME TJ.

That being said, I can see him coming back with fire but also retire so it's just such a mixed bag scenario all around.

If you think it pisses you off, think of Newton 

If Newton goes, I want Hurney and Ron out of here. They have had nine years with newton, Luke, Christian, to get it done, they haven’t 

we have Marv Lewis less then character issues

Word was he spectacularly bombed his whiteboard work at the combine.

Might have done better in private workouts later. Don't know.

Comparing the two is like comparing Jerome Bettis and Barry Sanders. Just totally different players. And Cam was a much better passer though Lamar is improving.

[CBDellinger]

Meh... Cam played the way Cam was meant to play.  He never shied away from contact.  He wanted to impose his physical will and run people over.  He was great.  There’s no reason to lament what could have been, it was how it had to be.
