Anthony Richardson is an elite athlete, but its really disrespectful to compare him to Cam Newton. Did anybody watch Cam in college? He won the Heisman for a reason... He was the consensus #1 pick in a year where they had no OTA's and was the rookie of the year. 

If we draft AR, I'm excited about who he CAN be... but we gotta be real about who he is now. And its not close to what Cam was coming out of college. 

To be fair cam definitely wasnt the consensus #1 pick pre draft

How is it there will never be another Cam but there will be another Brady?

 

That never made sense. You're basically saying Cam was so talented that there will never be another QB like him in NFL history. Josh Allen plays like Cam imo and he is a better passer.

 

People saying Burrow is the next Brady. I can see the comparison.

 

You can compare QB's. We been doing it for decades.

It’s not the talent per se, it’s the combination of talent, physicality, athleticism and heart.  That was rare.  Highly unlikely there will be another Cam. There might be someone who has some of his traits, but not all of them. For example you could say Hurts has some of Cam’s talent and all of his athleticism, but he doesn’t have his physicality as the team’s goal line battering ram.  Josh Allen might be the closest but he’s still lacking Cam’s physicality and possibly that intangible … if you don’t wanna call it heart, call it killer instinct or something.

Josh Allen is Cam Newton. I don't see how you can't see the similarities.

 

Allen trucks LB's all the time. How is he not physical?

I said he’s the closest but no, I’ve never seen him do what Cam did almost every game on the goal line. I don’t mean “running between the 20s and runs into a LB”. I mean goalline battering ram.

I don't think he's nearly as good a runner as Cam. everything else he does as well or better. But running ability pure speed and even power...No.

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.

      I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce
