The only way a running QB should be compared to Cam is if they can match his size. Anything less can't be the same kind of runner. The other running QBs in the league are already not lasting a whole season. He's the only one who could withstand the running for a long period of time.

And Cam would have lasted a lot longer if refs didn't let defenses go helmet to helmet on him claiming he was a runner. Because he was such a physical mismatch for most secondaries and even linebackers he was penalized until they further tightened the rules to protect players from concussions and head injuries.

I really don't think people remember just how unique a specimen Cam Newton actually was.

I watch a lot of college football and remember his season as a must watch every play type year.  He was so good that year and the bama game in particular it was crazy.  His 2015 stretch I felt the same way.  This team let him down in so many ways during his career.   fug man what should have been

Cam dominated the SEC at Auburn.

This. People forget how Cam completely dominated college football. In one year he literally ran over everyone for a Heisman and national championship.

AR wouldn’t sniff that in 100 lifetimes.

his highlights are fuging stupid good, the problem however his misfires are equally as bad. 

Yeah highlights are a fun start. To see the flashes. But all snap videos need to be the next step. 
 

I think you and I both agree on the incredible ceiling he has. I watched a bunch of his snaps after you brought him to my attention.

He’s closer to Malik Willis then Cam 

He's got 3" and 10 pounds on Malik. 

He's a little bigger than Lamar-6'2" 216 at the combine, AR is 6'4" 230 and only 21. 

Cam ran a 4.6 40, AR runs a 4.4ish. Lamar ran a 4.3

Who knows if he can get more consistent as a passer. 

The nice thing is we have Reich who can actually conduct proper interviews with these QB's as opposed to whatever questions Rhule/Brady/Mcadoo were wasting peoples time with.

I think a lot of folks forget that Auburn was a borderline top 25 team preseason that year. They were supposed to be a decent team but no one expected them to even be in the national championship conversation.

Reich doesn't have a great track record there. He loved Darnold and Wentz.

As for AR, I just don't see it. Certainly not anywhere close to Cam, didn't you guys see him at Auburn? Cam was amazing. Richardson is wildly inconsistent, and drifted through games doing absolutely nothing

Is Bill Parcell's formula still applicable?  I think Brock Purdy is an example of what he meant.

1. Be a three year starter

2. Be a Senior

3. Graduate from college

4. Start over 30 games

5. Win 23 games

6. Complete over 60% of passes

7.  Post a 2-1 TD to Int ratio

As much as I realize the game is changing, I see why these things are important--each measures different qualities of his ideal QB.  Experience, maturity, intelligence, durability, competitiveness/leadership, accuracy, and decision-making. 

Which QB in this draft best meets these requirements?

Physical tools alone he is a lot closer to Cam

Willis: 6’0.5” 219 

Anthony Richardson 6’4 238

Cam 6’5 248

All Similar Speed.  Cam and Richardson similar arm strength.

now polished?  No where near Cam…….yet.

      Monday practice tweets

      I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).

      Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.

      Austin named starting center

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
