5. Cam Newton

Fame Assets: In the last five months, he won the Heisman Trophy, won the BCS National Championship and was selected first overall in the NFL draft. Throw in that world-famous smile and you have a media superstar already.

Fame Deterrents: He has yet to throw an NFL pass.

Current level of fame: Phil Simms

Deserved level of fame: Vince Young

Nana Index: 45

i cant say he's the 5th famous face in the NFL. Brady, Manning, Rodgers, Brees are top 4 faces already and i think guys like Rivers, Ryan and Vick are more noticed right now. in time though (and if he's great) he will be top 5 maybe higher.

I think everyone underrates vince young. if we get a vince young without the mental problems i think it'd still be a win for carolina.

I couldn't agree more. Vince Young has been nowhere near a failure on the field, in fact he's been quite the opposite in terms of winning percentage when he's allowed to start. The problem with Young, seems to me, is he's legitimately mentally ill. Not as in, "this guy's a jerk," more like "this guy has very serious mental problems and belongs in a facility."

Rivers and Ryan might be elite QB's, but I don't think they are famous faces outside of big NFL fans. I could ask my wife's friends to pick Manning and Brady out of a lineup no sweat, but they couldn't ID Rivers or Ryan. Maybe Cam now, but there's an obvious bias there.

      The Bryce Trade is Finally Complete. Who Won the Trade? Panthers vs Bears

      By ImfromClayton · Posted

      We won't know the answer to this for a long time. Reality is, Caleb has been the consensus #1 in that draft for years. Bryce was a similar situation, but mostly the same. He was not the clear and obvious #1 that Caleb was, but most teams had Bryce at QB1. The Panthers were always going to be terrible Bryce's rookie year.  I don't think DJ Moore's presence would have changed anything about that offense, as our guards, center, and left tackle were getting demolished on nearly every snap. It's clear Caleb's dad was trying to do everything possible to ensure Caleb didn't end up in Chicago with Eberflus. It's hard to imagine that he wouldn't have done the same, but probably more publicly with our situation, considering Carolina is an easier target for the media than Chicago. We can all speculate, but it's impossible to tell who is going to have the better career on May 16, 2025. If either QB doesn't pan out, we have an easy answer. If both flame out, the bears clearly won the trade, but it wouldn't have really mattered anyway. We all know how we win the trade. Candidly, even if one of the other picks we gave up ends up being a hall of fame player, we don't know if the panthers would have taken that player anyway. All you can do is make the best decision you can in the moment with the information you have. I really like Bryce Young, and I'm glad he's a Carolina Panther.  The only way to win in the modern NFL is to have an absolute dude at QB. I personally am happy that our franchise recognizes this, as I remember times when they did not.

      This year, there's been enough positive talk from core players, free agents, and coaches to where I believe the culture building and momentum is more important than fighting for a worse record.
