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.

      Facts it's still crazy that they made him sell over that especially considering what some of the other owners have done.  JR was a rich 80 year old white man from the south I'm not at all surprised about him making some "inappropriate" comments about what a woman is wearing water is wet what a surprise. That's just the way things were done during his time, and he should and did get punished for his actions by paying some hefty fines, but it definitely wasn't something that he should've been forced to sell his team over.  I'll never forget him insulting Peyton Manning during a negotiation, reportedly belittling the quarterback’s knowledge of player safety and asking, “Do I need to help you read a revenue chart, son?

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.
