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

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.

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. 

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.

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?

What are Arnold Schwarzenegger's best movies? - Quora

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.

    • I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.
    • Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.
    • Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
