Not gonna argue with this. 

I am.  Cam has to wind up and throw mortar shots to get it deep.  Bryce may have issues as his delivery is slow and he takes a while to get it out, but he has better arm strength than Cam at this point.  

Cam is no longer able to do this. If he could, with his other physical attributes, he would still be playing.

For a few years we had the baddest dude in the game and a lot of our fans STILL don't appreciate it.

and the most exciting player in the game. not sure there is anyone in the game now who is that exciting or fun to watch.

truthfully, you could also say the same thing about smitty. no one tougher in the passing game and no one more fun to watch.

How is he making it difficult if he's a backup?

 

You're basically saying Cam doesn't have a job because teams simply don't want him because of his name and personality. It's just weird why Cam is the only QB who gets viewed this way.

 

Even Mayfield got a backup job and he was just as big as Cam peronality wise.

Last I remember he was giving a list of the select few teams he would play backup for.   That doesnt help his case.  Also didnt he recently say he didnt want to play anymore?

mayfield has as big a personality as cam?

the moment that he walks into a room, he becomes the biggest man/personality in the room and that's not at all a knock on him. it's just a fact and a part of what made him so awesome. he is the man that people gravitate to, that people look to, and that people want to follow. it's that charisma and that presence. and when it's clutch time, he's the guy that you want to get involved because you know if anyone can rise, it's him. we all saw it (and in the superbowl it took two teams to bring him down...broncos and zebras).

where that becomes a problem is if a team is trying to develop a QB into the leader of his team or at least the offense (which is the goal of every team, making their QB the leader). When you put Cam in there you put any other QB except the best and most established of vets in an impossible situation. they have to compete with cam for the team and it's not like cam tries to take over. his personality and presence does it all naturally. 

and mayfield was NEVER any of that.

i think he was saying he doesn't have to and doesn't need to and for the context of the short list...he was saying that those were the only teams that could possibly pull him back on the field. otherwise it seems he's just not interested in it.

If Bryce was the mid-late round pick he probably honestly should've been given his physical talent his NFL career would probably be hanging by a thread. I've never seen a guy so over hyped on intangibles when most draft prospects are absolutely picked apart. Bryce had every physical measurable red flag a prospect could have an everyone somehow convinced themselves it didn't matter.

      Yeah I was crying about this earlier in the year when we got to 6 wins. Equal number to Wilks.  We are still a QB away.

      The Hall of Fame case for two different NFC South quarterbacks

      By Verge · Posted

      Hey y'all, a topic that has been on my mind has always been the parallels between two of the best quarterbacks in the history of the NFC South and ultimately their place in history and how they are viewed moving forward through the rest of NFL history. These two quarterbacks as you might have guessed are their respective franchises greatest signal callers, Cam Newton and Matt Ryan.  Cam Newton (144 Games Started): 269 TDs (1.8 per contest), 123 INTs, Super Bowl Appearance, OROTY, MVP  Matt Ryan (234 Games Starter):  394 TDs (1.6 per contest), 183 INTs, Super Bowl Appearance, OROTY, MVP  Obviously on first glance, these are very similar players with identical top accomplishments. Let's zoom in a little bit on their surrounding talent. C Cam Newton top offensive producers:  Greg Olsen (TE) (9 Seasons) (3 Pro Bowls) Steve Smith Sr. (WR) (3 Seasons) (1 Pro Bowl) Matt Ryan top offensive producers:  Julio Jones (WR) (10 Seasons) (7 Pro Bowls)  Roddy White (WR) (8 Seasons) (4 Pro Bowls)  Tony Gonzalez (TE) (5 Seasons) (4 Pro Bowls)  Wow, quite the difference here. Through Cam's career his top option was Greg Olsen, who was one of the best tight ends of his generation and a real difference maker in an offense reliant on their quarterback making plays outside of structure. Newton post Steve Smith Sr was saddled with a revolving door of Chicken McNobodies at the receiver position and the offense had to be funneled through the tight end and running attack as Jericho Cotchery, Corey Brown, Jason Avant, Kelvin Benjamin, etc was not getting the job done. Ryan on the other hand was consistently surrounded with top level offensive weapons, including one of the best receivers and tight ends in the history of the game, thanks in part to an aggressive general manager who wanted to ensure they could maximize the arm talent of their franchise quarterback.  How about protection?  Cam Newton top offensive lineman: Jordan Gross (3 Seasons) (1 Pro Bowl)  Ryan Kalil (8 Seasons) (2 Pro Bowls) Andrew Norwell (4 Seasons)  Trai Turner (6 Seasons) (5 Pro Bowls) Matt Ryan top offensive lineman:  Jake Matthews (8 Seasons) (1 Pro Bowl)  Alex Mack (5 Seasons) (3 Pro Bowls)  Andy Levitre (3 Seasons)  Todd McLure (5 Seasons)  While Matt Ryan certainly had more consistency and high level talent on his offensive line, one could argue they had similar protection through the bulk of their career. Though one has to acknowledge some of the absolute dog water lineman that were trot out to protect Newton at his tackle spots post Jordan Gross retirement. Byron Bell, Mike Remmers, Matt Kalil, Chris Clark, Amini Silatolu, Nate Chandler, etc were all a collective pile of garbage save for two seasons from Remmers and a few splashes of brilliance from Michael Oher, Daryl Williams, and early career Taylor Moton.  Defense should be fairly simple.  Cam Newton defense average rank:  17th/32 Matt Ryan defense average rank:  18th/32  Honestly I was a bit surprised by this, I had thought Cam consistently had the better defenses, but when you look at the average it's shockingly close. While Newton did have the higher peaks of defense, Atlanta placed higher more consistently and only really faltered towards the end of Ryan's career. Both these players had on and off again defenses to rely on.  So what does all this mean?  1. I am bored at work  2. Cam Newton has the better body of work given the talent around him  While I am not sure either is necessarily a lock to get a gold jacket, it's undeniable that Newton carried his franchise on his back for the better part of his career and changed how quarterbacks are viewed as a whole. Newton became the blueprint for a new breed of signal caller, and Ryan is the standard that is set for pocket quarterbacks in the modern league. Both players deserve their kudos for what they did for their franchises and how they morphed their team's identity, but Newton I think was clearly the better of the NFC South quarterbacks, especially if he had remained as healthy as Ryan did.

      100% agree, trading him would be the best possible scenario. It allows for a clean start at QB and you get something back.
