Newton is NOTHING like Manning their playing styles are vastly different.

Plus manning is a goofy white guy, not a smooth ass swagtastic brother. Cam will be a marketers dream if his play lives up to the hype.

id rather peyton manning or brett favre say that they see some of themselves in cam newton but thats just my opinion

Did you forget that Josh Freeman tossed 25 TDs and only 5 ints in his sophomore season?

Being compared to him is a huge compliment, the man is a (underrated) beast.

I am also glad Brett Favre wasn't mentioned.

Newton's marketing will bring more money to this team, which will make the Big Cat VERY happy.

Honestly, if Cam ends up winning a superbowl here, or even if he turns us into a perennial playoff contender, and stays clean off the field, he could reach Tiger Woods (pre scandal) status within the corporate world.

Possibly. This is what I was saying Pre Draft. He could transform Charlotte into a happenin' city like Vick did Atlanta. Josh Freeman will NEVER do that in Tampa Bay..

If Cam ends up being in more commercials than Peyton Manning, then rival NFC South fans are really gonna hate us. I like it.

I think Peyton has done well marketing wise as a "goofy white guy," and I have thoroughly enjoyed his work on and off the field.

Aside from that, I think it's a safe comparison to make, as far as Cam and Freeman... or Cam and Big Ben. Those are the two players I think he most closely translates too as far as passers coming out of college - but he is clearly the best athlete of them all and that's where he may separate himself in terms of "revolutionizing" the game. He has more gamebreaking ability in his game from top to bottom coming into the league...

He was less likely to run than Newton but he wasn't a great passer coming out of college. He was not that accurate and his mechanics were not great. What Freeman has working for him was a terrific work ethic and a burning desire to get better. He is the epitome of what a great quarterback should be from a work ethic and leadership point of view. Newton spending time with him is a great thing and if Cam emulates Freeman it will be nothing but positive for the Panthers. Of course he can avoid the turnovers and interceptions and I would be happy.

No one said he was a great passer. He was just more of a pure passer, meaning he took majority of his passes from under center and threw from the pocket. A lot of Newton system was Shotgun and bootlegs thus making him less of a pure passer.

Everyone needs to stop being so sensitive about Newton. Any word used about Newton except Elite is seen as criticism.

taking snaps from under center is becoming less and less of an issue every year, esp. for the best QBs in the league. most are taking the majority of their passing snaps form the shotgun. newton still needs to learn how to drop back (which he has been working on a lot) but it isn't nearly the issue people have made it out to be.

Everyone acts like they know him personally and they must defend his honor or something.

He's more protected than any athlete I've seen talked about.

      Not sure who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"

      I mean not surprised the Patriots took him in and aren't trying to push him out. They've been the most morally bankrupt team in the NFL for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel has his own dirt on Kraft/Brady and other assholes from that organization over the last couple decades.
