In 2012 I want Cameron "Cam Fuggin" Newton


Recommended Posts

Are you crazy.

He is 2nd only behind Kellen Moore with a 180.3 rating.

He is the best quarterback with the deep ball averaging 10.5 yards per pass which is tops in the NCAA.

He is 12th in rushing yards in the NCAA.

He is 5th in the NCAA with 9 rushing touchdowns.

The dude is moves like Mike Vick but throws like Joe Flacco.

He would be unstoppable at quarterback not only because he is 6-6 and 250 lbs.

I don't think your crazy, He's a great player. But Andrew Luck is a great QB and has all the tools, looks the part, has the arm. We'd be crazy to pass up on him, especially being we have a great chance to have the number 1 pick this year.

Sounds like what the analysts said of Clausen, minus the attitude stuff.

Passer efficiency is over-rated in college. Yes, Newton has a higher passer efficiency rating but try to explain it with passing stats...

Pryor

Completion %: 68.0%

Yards: 1349

Touchdowns: 15

Interceptions: 3

Sacked: 11

Newton

Completion %: 64.8%

Yards: 1138

Touchdowns: 12

Interceptions: 5

Sacked: 7

So in terms of passing in college I do not know how you can make the claim that Newton is more efficient than Pryor has been. Pryor has a higher completion percentage, more yards, more touchdown passes, and less interceptions while being sacked more than Newton has been sacked.

Also, passing efficiency doesn't tend to lead to NFL success. The Golden Calf of Bristol was top 3 in the country one or two times and he won't make it as a QB in the pros. Kellen Moore isn't a pro QB. I could go on and on but its pointless.

    • Burns quit on his team, full stop. Burns was and continues to be a liability in the run.    JC has never looked this bad before the concussion. He always was a very solid tackler, from what I remember.  I’ll take the overall body of his work over his current down stretch. I’ve never had to question his heart. The FO has royally screwed up roster management in many other deals but retaining Horn continues to be the right move. He will be back to form next season. 
    • I get it. I was making a joke that we have zero chance of winning.  
    • Did Bryce play bad? Yes. Did the whole offense play bad? Yes.  Was Canales bad with his playcalling? Yes. Now with that being said I don't put this loss solely on Bryce Young. The seahawks are a much more talented team than us and to win in a scenario like that you need some luck which we didn't have that day.  Bryce has shown this year that you can win with him at QB but the problem is that he doesn't have the ability to elevate the rest of the team around him. Bryce was a number 1 overall pick who we traded a haul of assets to get going into the end of his 3rd year the expectations need to be much higher than 54 yards passing.  It's been nice to get some wins this year and have a chance to make the playoffs and Bryce has played a part in that but at some point the front office needs to see that you can't keep giving Bryce a pass for these low production games.
