Did we just pass drafting Cam Newton Jr….

watch these highlights, close your eyes and tell me you didn’t see Newton Jr…. 
 

oh… it’s preseason

I'd say yes. Even the threat of Richardson running will make throwing the ball so much easier for him. While we drafted a 5'9 pocket QB with a below average Arm but a live brain. 

I think Bryce will be fine, but it's going to take some time whereas Richardson will get by solely based on his physical talent. If he can take a Josh Allen type leap in his throwing ability he's going to be scary.

You would think things would have been easier for AR in college against smaller slower players, but it was not compared to Young.

This.  In college Cam and Bryce stood head and shoulders above everybody else. National Titles, Heismans, and dominance in SEC.

AR? Not so much.  Does this mean he won't be successful nah.  It just means he is no SUPERMAN.

No. He wants to be Cam. People want him to be Cam. But he’s not Cam. 
 

He has the arm strength to make some harder throws but he’s inconsistent and raw.

People like to cherry pick where he made this throw or that one but in reality he’s 13/29 139 yards 0 TD and 1 INT on the preseason.

Post a highlight of his incompletions which are 56% of the throws he made to see what I’m talking about.

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.

    • FLA showed everyone it’s not about superstars. they bullied the best line in the NHL into obscurity. they played hard, were in the right positions, and ran over everything that got in their way.
    • That’s really not what you said and when I even expressed doubt as to your intentions with the post you doubled down and remained unclear on whether you were trying to drag Dean Smith for whatever reason. You just got the facts wrong, which if you don’t follow the local college programs like you say then maybe you just were mistaken and thought Smith didn’t win championships or have legit superstars, and that is ok, but you just doubled down when my first post was more corrective than anything. I’m not sure what you expect posting objectively false things like “RBA has a lot of wins with nothing to show for it like Dean Smith” (paraphrasing) on a message board with plenty of UNC fans. I’m not taking it as a personal affront, we can agree to disagree, Dean Smith’s legacy fortunately will not be affected by this conversation. Screw the (Florida) Panthers?
    • Bring in the free agents and trades.  Florida is the best team and unless Tulsky makes it happen, it’s more of the same…which isn’t bad…but it’s time to win a goddamn cup.
