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

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.

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.

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

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.

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…

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.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By lumbeecheraw75 · Posted

      overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
