Brees and Payton on Cam Newton

On whether Payton has seen a rookie quarterback in the NFL with Cam Newton's ability:

"It would be hard to make a comparison. The things that's most impressive that I would say is considering the fact that we really haven't had an offseason, so there are a lot less reps for all these young quarterbacks who are first year starters or rookies in Cam's case, what's been impressive is the way he's performed just having one training camp and then all of a sudden the regular season is on him. He has given them a lot of confidence I think. You see the players playing around him, rallying around him. He has a very gifted arm, he can escape, and when he does escape he looks to throw and not just run, and when he does run he's extremely athletic and is someone that can pick up more than just five or six yards, it can be 15 to 20 yards. There are a lot of challenges that he presents, but the transition for him is what's been most impressive considering the abbreviated offseason."

Pretty much Payton and Brees saying they can't believe how good Cam is.

This is just the pregame accolades that opposing players heap on each other while they plan to exploit them in the game. It doesn't mean anything.

Brees and Payton huh??

Cause I only read one quote. Plus, who gives a fug what they think anyways... When Cam wants a loser's perspective he'll ask for it

I'm pretty sure Brees or the Saints never praised Clausen, or any opposing team we faced for that matter.

Pretty cool. Although, I still find Brady giving advice to Cam a lot more awesome than Brees slurping on Cam. Still cool, just not as cool. It is nice to have a QB that opposing team's players constantly recognize as being damn good and having respect for him. Haven't had that since '03 Jake.

They talked up the running game and the defense. Frankly they should have talked up Clausen, he almost beat them in New Orleans.
