Is A.R a smaller C.Newton in the rough?

[ColumbusCounty]

Similar yes, but Cam in college was a TOTALLY different monster. 

One could STRONGLY argue the best year for a QB in college actually. 

Some would say Burrow but when you realize Joe played with a damn near All-NCAA team and Cam played with "maybe" 3 drafted players on that squad, the answer becomes obvious. To me atleast. 

AR has a pretty high ceiling and I think he might actually be faster than Cam. Arm strength is push. Accuracy edge would go to Cam. As well as quite a few intangibles that can't be measured. 

He reached the highest level at every level. They throw the saying around but Cam was really a once in a lifetime talent. 

Just like you'd be hard pressed to find another Kuechly. 

AR gives me more Keapernick vibes than Cam vibes. I'd still draft him but I don't think he's worth a top 10 pick currently. His potential is however. So the question becomes are we willing to bet on his upside?

Cam took a good (not great) Auburn team to an undefeated season and natty.  These are not the same dudes.  Not close

If people are looking for the next Cam, teasers like this will make them bite every time. 

David Newton (and he has the inside scoop, not) says we like the next Tom Brady---Will Levis.

What about the QB who was going to win MVP before he got hurt who happens to be playing in the SB he goes by the name Jalen Hurts?

Jalen Hurts is not Cam either.  Cam is probably the best dual threat QB ever (Mike Vick has an argument) but none of these guys have the talent Cam had.  That said we all always wanted even Cam to be more accurate as a passer.  I love Cam but that is a fact

I believe that post was about the best QB in the NFC.

Whatever…another point is these dual threat QBs don’t last very long either.  Cam was robo QB and he broke down so fast.  Lamar is breaking down now.  We need a passer.

Man, my biggest fear with AR in general IS the comparisons to supercam. I’m just not sure thats the position you want to put that young man in.

Oh, Hurts is definitely in that conversation too. I'm just saying it's far from trollish to argue that Stafford is the best QB in the NFC. It's not a crazy suggestion.

Wasn’t AR a sophomore?

You might want to actually read my post and who I was responding to.

 

My comment had nothing to do with Cam.lol

Hang your hat on Jalen Hurts.  That’s fine.  They surrounded him with great weapons and talent.  The NFC is down in terms of QBs this season but that doesn’t mean Hurts is a great player.  He is solid.

The Pro Bowl QBs from the NFC are Hurts, Cousins, Geno Smith and Goff.  Not murderers row

Cam was breaking down from hits in the pocket. They have an actual OL for Hurts (which might be missing a few starters). Cam’s best LT was Oher for one year which happens to be the same year he went 15-1 and got us all the way to the big game. Luck retired early because his body was wearing down from lack of OL as well…

Nah he's not anywhere near Cam

I will stand by this…AR has a huge bust potential.  Levis isn’t far behind but Levis can pass the ball.  People need to put on a critical eye on ARs passing and stop making excuses and projecting him as something he isn’t.
