Would you be happy if Cam Newton could become...

The next Steve McNair? Granted Steve did it 4 years in college and granted I don't want to see Cam or any other player end like Steve did, but for years Steve was a damn good QB.

I reference Steve McNair because coming out from a skill set he had some of the knocks on him like Cam does. But Steve really learned to sit in the pocket, take his drops, make his reads and deliver the football.

Time will tell.

Yes, I would, and McNair is who I think of most when projecting Newton at the next level.

McNair won an MVP award so heck yeah I would be happy. I was actually bummed when we traded down and got Collins instead of MCNair.

You weren't alone in that. And we followed that up in 96 by drafting Tshimanga Biakabutuka over Eddie George.

One of my worst draft memories is an ESPN guy asking Bill Polian "any concerns about his durability" and Polian flatly replying "none" :banghead:

I personally think whomever gets Andy Dalton is going to possibly get the best guy in the draft at QB this year if they develop him. But, if we could get the next McNair out of newton then I don't think anyone would be unhappy.

Let's just hope he doesn't fall one yard short :D

Eh, I still see Steve Young when I look at Newton's game and skill set. Personality wise it would be someone else and no one is sure about who that might be and I think that is the reason for all the ? marks.

To me, however, there are a lot of question I have about his game and how they would translate to this new offense Chud is installing. A Steve Young type of QB probably won't be successful in that type of system. So to me that is one of the bigger question marks I have more so than the character concerns.

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      By GOAT · Posted

      5 straight completions in the 4th quarter to get into the red zone and then score a stand up rushing TD and celly in one of the best defenses faces to bring the score within 1 possession against the super bowl champs is "stunned" to you?

      yes, if you read what I said - that was due to his record breaking 245 yard 4th quarter performance in garbage time when the Seahawks were already celebrating. If Bryce puts up big numbers in the 4th quarter, people like you are quick to call it garbage time stats but seem to get selective when other QB's do it because it doesn't fit your narrative.  also, I'm logical enough to admit that Drake is a great QB and his performance had a lot to do with his protection, play calling, and other aspects. The game does not fall completely on the QB. Just like how the Panthers were still in the game vs Seattle until Horn's penalty changed that. It is a team sport, so many factors, players, refs, coaches are involved and it only takes one thing to change the game. the obsession with Bryce is just nauseating at this point and if you pay attention on here, it's the same 10 users quoting and pieing each other. it's super weird and everywhere else you go, opinions on Bryce are trending upwards. the way the season ended, the vibe at the stadium, the performance, should have everyone excited about this next season. Idk, maybe I just look at life and my entertainment outlets differently than others.
