Newton's Prototype

[Mr. Scot]

Some of y'all sound like you think this is a bad thing. Not sure why.

You folks do remember that Favre and Elway won Super Bowl rings and MVP trophies, right? And while Jake Delhomme didn't get to that level, he won a load of games and took this team to it's first Super Bowl.

Just sayin'...Newton isn't a Manning or Brady type. Don't expect him to be. And I'm not a fan of the Roethlisberger comparisons either because I think he's overrated. Ditto with Vick and McNabb because I think Newton (potentially) has the tools to be a better passer than both of them if he keeps going.

If he can be what he is, and be another Favre/Elway, we should All be happy.

Mr Scot would still prefer to have Delhomme starting in Carolina. This makes me sick and I'm off to erase the Mr Scot Appreciation Thread.

hahaha i was up for nearly 24 hours straight. cams performance injected red bull into my veins, so pumped. seriously though, if cam proves this game wasnt a fluke, hes going to be compared to michael jordan. hes an absolute star.

Looks like Randel Cunningham to me.

Mr. Scott, you should be getting paid for your writing. Awesome Stuff.

Prefer? Not really. Given the choice, I'd pick a pure pocket passer like a Manning or a Brady. Favre/Elway/Delhomme types are a roller coaster.

But can you win with this type of quarterback? Take a look at the ring fingers of Favre and Elway for the answer to that one.

And that's the true bottom line for me. I don't really care if Newton sets passing records. I care a great deal whether or not he quarterbacks us to a Super Bowl win.

He looks like a young Manning or Rogers to me. Well besides the fact he can break off a 20 yard run when it presents its self. His presision may not have been great but for the first game it was damn good.

With that said it has only been one game and GB may make him look like David Carr next week.

I'm hoping for better than Cunningham.

I've tried making comparisons but I just can't. He is truly unique. A combination of things we haven't seen before.

Cam didnt make a lot of mistakes to me tho, he didnt really make any in college either. So cant really put him that Brett favre model. His decision making is actually insanely good to me.

A better Josh Freeman

Once again you frame your posts as so you can never be wrong. A lack of definitive opinions over the thousands of posts takes quite a bit of skill

[Mr Smiley]

Vick and young didn't make the decisions or keep their eyes downfield like Cam did last night. At least not as rookies. He's gonna explode when we put talent around him

Wise men rarely give definitive opinions or so I hear.
