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.

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.

      Possibly playoff affectng news

      You would hope so. I’m confused why the sports world seems split on Bryce when he’s obviously not working out.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      So let’s do the reverse? Make everyone agree everything he does is a disaster? I also think the whole “gaslighting” is on the eye of the beholder. It went from he can’t avoid one single sack countered with he actually did that well Sunday (with data backing it) to a little breakdown of why he is so bad. People are going to have different opinions. I’m also not going to pretend this wasn’t happening Day one with this little QB.

      All this great stuff he has done, how often does he do it?  I have it at three or four games out of 14 where he was very good and then you get a drive here or a series there where there are some good things. Here is the gaslight part: everyone has put him on a curve with his first year the baseline, neglecting to understand how bad he was then. Even if he comes back twice as good, where does that really leave him? 25th ranked or thereabouts.     He had so far to go, and still does, it is a Major ‘settle’ to accept his play as worthy of giving him our future.  You want to settle when the Bucs have Mayfield, and the Saints have overtaken us at QB? We will be third in the division at QB. That is good enough for y’all?
