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

Just did...

But no, that's not my first time. Hence why I said I don't like those kind of comparisons in general.

If you think they’re silly, why don’t you just ignore them?

Didn't quote him so much as answered the question you were asking from my own perspective.

I don't know what his answer is.

Hmmm. Ok.

If you think my viewpoint is wrong, why didn't you just ignore it?

To the OP question I'd say Yes he is. I would draft him if they don't feel comfortable going up for Stroud. You guys act like Cam was an accurate QB or make excuses for him when continuously missing open receivers at all levels(short,mid and deep) even before TJ Watt nuked his shoulder.  I personally like the idea of having another dual threat QB running Reichs offense 

Cam Newton day 1 in the NFL was the dominant physical runner at the QB position in NFL history.  That's what made him special.   Cam Newton was a unicorn.

Don’t lie. The poster I quoted does care. 

I wasn’t saying it in a negative way. We would all love to have another Cam. That also means some people will latch on to the perceived closest thing, even if they’re not at all close.

You’re right

And, apparently, you care that he cares… a lot.  Let it go…

I've said in a couple of places that the people making comparisons to Cam Newton don't really remember just how unique Newton was.

And that's another problem with nostalgia scouting. You go looking for the next version of a prior star but what you wind up with is the Wish version.

Mentioned it previously, but Bill Polian thinking he was getting the next Jim Kelly when he drafted Kerry Collins is a prime example of that.

Nah. If you wanted me to let it go, you would’ve let this go. We can talk if you want

I got ya. The same negatives that Cam received coming in are some of the same negatives AR receives. I can see why the two are compared with each other.

I think Cams mechanics were a tad better, as he was quite accurate in college. He was also a better runner, and ran with more power. Cam also did more with less, although AR wasn’t really working with much at Florida. His receivers weren’t all that.

Last year we had people saying the next Cam Newton could be found in Malik Willis.

Does that still sound like a valid comparison?

66% completion vs 53% completion

30 passing TD vs 17 passing TD

20 rushing TD vs 9 rushing TD

4300 total yards vs 3200 total yards

An average SEC QB that can run isn't Cam lite.  Cam is a unicorn that probably doesn't even need to be talked about.  There won't be a next Cam.

No, but again, I understand why they are being compared. Outside of the physical appearances, the negatives being said about Cam were the same that’s being said about Malik and now AR. 
 

I don’t think Malik or AR compare, but I understand the threads. The poster you quoted even said AR was a worse Cam.
