Newton versus Luck

[bababoey]

The one thing that no one ever points out in the Cam vs. Luck debate is the talent Luck has currently on offense vs. the lack of talent Cam had last year.

Luck has:

A TE that will be the 1st or 2nd TE to go in this years draft probally 1st or early 2nd round.

2 OL that will both go in the first 3 rounds of this years draft.

A WR that will probally be drafted in the 3rd or 4th round of this years draft.

Cam had:

2 OL drafted last year. 1 in the 5th and 1 in the 7th.

0 WR drafted from last years team.

0 RB drafted from last years team.

0 TE from last years team.

The SEC, in general, has more talent than any other conference in college football. But last years Aurburn offense had less talent than this years Standford offense. Aurburn does has a rb that will be drafted that was a freshman last year and he is pretty good. But overall, Standford has much more talent on offense than Aurbun did and Cam still put up better numbers than Luck. I think that should tell you all you need to know.

Good lord, some of you guys, we're 2-6, no small part of that being key 3rd & 4th quarter failures on offense EVERY F*CKING WEEK. Cam is our guy, and the future looks bright but please stop it already. Way too early to call his NFL career a blazing success, no?

That said, I wanted the Panthers to draft Cam last year, and I'd hypothetically prefer to draft a highly performing NFL player (i.e., Cam) over Luck this year and every time, for whatever nonsense it's worth.

A couple of points here. No one except maybe Cam thought he would be this good this early. What is most remarkable is how much he has improved in passing accuracy and reading defenses in such a short time. What's more amazing is he still has a long way to go. While he hasn't won many games does anyone doubt he is not a winner?

With towns souring on Flacco, Rivers and even Matty Ice, Cam is looking like the prototypical QB of the future in the NFL. Who needs luck when you have a supercam.
