Hate to say it but Lamar Jackson is better than Cam already.

Yeah I mean he’s ridiculous.

Looks like he’s also “old enough” to get a few favorable calls and if he plays his cards right and doesn’t dress too crazy the NFL will prop him up to become the face of the league.

Yeah the most horrible part of Cam Newton's career was that the NFL never wanted Cam. Lamar is still just crazy though.

This is dumb. This guy been in the league 2 years. Last year everyone was saying he isnt even a qb. He is a terrible passer and all that. Now one year in hes had a better career over 9 seasons than cam? Snake we know how u feel about cam but this is dumb. Please delete this.

Dude it hurts me to say it. I've been Cams biggest supporter even when half this board was pissd when we drafted him. Still Jackson after only two years is throwing the ball better than Cam and is running just as good if not better. Dude is crazy good.

He's on pace for 9-10 rushing TDs, which match the total Cam Newton had during his 2015 MVP campaign. Jackson has already rushed for more yards than Newton ever has in a single season.

Jackson also has 1,558 rushing yards in his career, surpassing what Newton did in 2011-12 for the most by a QB over his first two NFL seasons.

Dude couldn't hit the broad side of a barn last year. He's undoubtedly having a great season in a system catered to him, but as Bill Parcells used to say, don't crown him yet.

In 2002, Michael Vick was "revolutionizing" the game. That didnt last. 

I'm not hating on Lamar. But he also benefitting from a superb coaching staff and surrounding talent, something we never gave Cam

You didn't have to do the man like that. I bet he's crying with his Cam pillow. Lamar is just absolutely amazing.

I dont recall you ever really supporting cam, opposite really. This is his first season even being legitimately a threat as a passer. Yes he is having an amazing season. Yes he is very good. But it's basically his first glimpse at being good. Year two. Better than Cam ever was...humm your reaching. He could break his leg later tonight then we never know. Slow down let's see some dominance. Cam showed dominance this is Lamar's first go at this. 

What your doing is basically like saying after last year Patrick Mahommes is better than Tom Brady or peyton manning some guys who have proven it. Let these guys have some career before saying crap like this. Unless u just want to bash cam because u dislike him which from what I have seen you do.

A system doesn't make you a better passer. Dude just has gotten better and is still learning.

Cam was totally unique. We used him for years as our primary power runner in the redzone. No other QB has been asked to do that

That's great and it's an amazing season. Singular. One season. Saying someone is better tha  someone else who has played 9 years over 1 year is dumb.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
