I have only seen him in six games without the benifit of seeing him in college.He has a simualr physcial build.I think alot of the guy and feel he has a promising NFL career.

Other than his physcial attributes how does everyone feel Cam stacks up to Freemon?

I don't get this obsession we apparently have with comparing Cam Newton to other QBs. QBs (like any other position / person) are different. If you run about comparing them to other QBs constantly you'll just end up disappointed when they're not a carbon copy. Good or bad chances are he'll be different than whoever you're comparing him to.

Bite me! I was curious about Freemans college career.I dont "run" about comparing people except now that you mention it I do compare you to an asshole.

Physically, they are very similar with Newton being every bit as big as 6'5" 248 lbs. and Freeman is billed as being 6'6" 248 lbs. While they both share the ability to move around in the pocket/scramble, and they're both hard as hell to tackle, I feel that Newton will end up being the superior passer once he learns the playbook and has time to gel with the team a little bit. But that's just my take.

Physically they have some similarities. College skill sets coming out? Freeman seemed to be in pretty good shape, but there were some serious concerns about his ability to quickly read an NFL defense because of the fact he struggled reading some college schemes of some of the better Big 12 teams. He had some accuracy issues... He also had other questions but IMO he was still a pretty good prospect.

Freeman was coming out of a modified pro offense that utilized a lot of spread formations. In his last two seasons of play he combined for a 60% completion percentage, some 6.2k yards, 38 passing TDs, and over 7 YPA. In his final year at K-State, despite his apparent protests about it, his coach had him run quite a bit, where he racked up 400 yards and 14 TDs.

I don't really see the point in comparing the two. Other than physical comparisons and potential similarities in possible pro style play, I don't think they did much of anything the same in college.

      Dennis Rodman’s son lands Summer League shot with the Hornets   The Charlotte Hornets are coming off a promising 2025 NBA Draft class and will enter Summer League with no shortage of new faces looking to make an impression. But the most interesting addition didn’t come from the draft board. Instead, it’s DJ Rodman — the 24-year-old son of Hall of Famer and five-time NBA champion Dennis Rodman — who’s bringing some extra attention to the Hornets’ Summer League roster. Rodman played four years at Washington State before making the move to USC for his final season.  He wasn’t exactly lighting it up with the Trojans, putting up about 6 points, four boards, and an assist each game. But he did shoot well — hitting around 41% from the field and draining 36% of his three-pointers.  Standing 6-foot-6, he’s got the size to play on the wing and offers some versatility, which could be just what the Hornets are looking for as they try to fill out their roster. The Hornets’ Summer League squad already has plenty of fresh faces with this year’s draft picks and young guys fighting for a role. But Rodman’s last name alone is enough to turn heads, and now he’ll get his shot to prove he belongs once the games tip off in Vegas. Charlotte’s Summer League team is already drawing interest with recent draft picks and young players hoping to crack the rotation. But Rodman’s last name — and his potential to bring energy and toughness — adds another layer of intrigue. What Rodman lacks in college stats, he makes up for with hustle and competitiveness — traits his dad was known for throughout his Hall of Fame career. If he can bring that same energy and show growth in Summer League, he could carve out a role and surprise some people. Though the odds are against him making the Hornets’ final roster, there’s no denying the spotlight that comes with the Rodman name. The Hornets kick off Summer League next week in Las Vegas.   Dennis Rodman’s son lands Summer League shot with the Hornets

      Question to the posters on this thread because you are knowledgeable--I love watching and pull for the Canes, but I never played so I don't have the understanding I had when I played football then watched it.  Having said that, Do you think we are weak at Center?  I see the team to be pretty strong on the wings, promising defense, and weak at Goalie.  It would be ideal if the Canes had 1 more position to upgrade, not 2.  I don't think you can count on Anderson to play a full season and he is 35.  However, are we solid at Center in your view?
