Cam was a great QB and as time passes my appreciation for him grows. That said, is it necessary to make a Cam comparison for every 6’4 ish run threat QB that gets drafted?  I feel like the casual comparisons tarnish, if not totally overlook his accomplishments. 

I wonder if Falcon fans are saying "Did we pass on Vick 2.0?"

Agreed.  People like to assume AR is going to become the next Josh Allen.  The chances of that are the same as Young becoming the next Brees.  

I’d say way less likely than Young becoming the next Brees. Josh Allen is a historical anomaly in terms of what he’s done in the pros compared to college in regards to completion percentage, which historically QBs don’t drastically improve their completion percentage from college to pros. Young gets the Brees comp based on what he’s shown. Richardson gets the Allen comp based on what he hasn’t shown.

You mean the same Cam Newton that you proudly made fun of constantly?

It amazes me how many people don’t realize he’s full of crap. I feel like he’s more of a low key troll than anything else. Bored people and their hobbies I guess

ever the contrarian.

“big athlete man throw football”. “Big man going to be next Cam Newton”

 

the Physically athletic ability is about where the comparison stops

 

Cam had more touch on his passes and ability to read the field as a Freshman at Florida than ARich has had up to this point in his career.

 

Arich is like Uncle Rico.  Can throw it over that mountain.  But can barely hit a touch pass.

Good luck with that. Every sub-6' WR is still Smitty 2.0 for Panthers fans.

Don’t forget every S/LB hybrid is the next Thomas Davis.

 

 

just look at Isaiah Simmons.

I was - and still am - a fan of Anthony Richardson, but Bryce Young was the clear choice at #1 overall.

It is cool to see these up and coming big fast QBs get compared to Cam.

 

They compared Josh Allen to Cam.

 

Cam in his own way is very much respected around the league regardless of how people feel about his personality. Panthers legend forever.

Richardson isn’t as strong as Cam but I’d say he’s more athletic. He put up impressive numbers at the combine and I can’t imagine Cam doing that standing flip he did there. It’s ignored in the comparisons because they’re both imposing guys but I think it puts AR on a much different trajectory than Cam.

Can we have these conversations when the regular season starts and everyone is playing their starters and against starters and with full game plans?

Out of interest, how was Newton more advanced in his development?

Go watch his FL tape versus Newton's Auburn tape.

One thing I notice is that AR is more of a straight line runner, where as Cam was super shifty and could navigate a lot of traffic, will be interesting to see if that matters at all in the game.

Why are Panthers fans so obsessed with talking about other teams rookie QBs?
