SI's Jim Trotter ranks Cam the 9th best QB in the league:

9. Cam Newton, Panthers: The rookie No. 1 pick continues to improve. Instead of forcing passes, as he did on occasion earlier in the year, Newton is taking advantage of his running skills, leading all players with 13 rushing touchdowns, including six in the last three games. As a passer, he has been interception-free in four of his last six outings and picked off only once in another. His play has helped lift the Panthers to two straight wins.

depends how you want to rank QBs. 2011 in terms of production....or just ranking QBs in a more general view.

Phillip Rivers for example....would rank drastically different pending how you wish to rank QBs. Cam would rank differently in both as well.

the fact that he has The Golden Calf of Bristol at #5 kills ALL POSSIBLE credibility of this list.

The Golden Calf of Bristol made plays with his legs at the end of the games, but only his defense and running game was responsible for having the team there at the end with a chance

They were in every game (except the Vikings game) IN SPITE of The Golden Calf of Bristol....not because of him.

The Golden Calf of Bristol has virtually ZERO passing ability and is a joke of a QB.

He does have an IT factor that comes out at the end of games. However, looking like total poo for 57 minutes and then leading one drive (with his legs) does NOT constitute a Top 5 QB in the NFL.

How else could you rate QB's? I can only think of production (efficiency with TD:INT and rushing) vs. W/L.

Based on their logic that The Golden Calf of Bristol can be a great QB (even though his status SUCK) just because his team wins.....I guess we should rank Starks from Green Bay the best RB in the league. He is the starting RB on an undefeated team....and ranking a players ability at a position is ONLY made by W/L of his team.

What a joke.

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion in Here)

      PJ's completion % was 63% when starting games in Carolina.  Which I believe is better than Bryce when starting.  And again, 4-3 as the starter here and the LONE QB Carolina has been able to actually win with in the Tepper era.  If you ask a gambling gunslinger to come into blowouts.....they are going to go down in a blaze of glory.  Which he would do.  Yeah, he isn't good.  And gunslingers are supposed to have rockier stats than checkdown QBs.   So....why does PJ Walker have a better comp % as a starter than Bryce Young.  And for every knock you want to make about PJ, you can find something or a skillset that PJ does better than Bryce.   I didn't say PJ had good field vision.  He doesn't.  Tell me about Bryce after he comes off the first read lol.  Let me repeat, PJ Walker is not a good QB.  He is NFL depth and an in house arm.  Bryce Young doesn't belong in a convo w/ Jake and Cam.  He belongs closer in a convo with the backup caliber QBs Carolina was forced into playing.  Which isn't just PJ Walker.  But Kyle Allen.  Moore.  Guys like that.

      Oh I see what you meant by memory. I will trust my memory, I have looked a a lot of those ball charts for Bryce and they trend a general pattern. They thing that has changed that I have noticed more recently is the reduction in the bunching of behind or at  the LOS passes over to his right.  Aside from the quantity of throws recently since the running game has become a more dominant factor.

      Yes but you basically said you are going from a quick skim of those charts without doing the same for Bryce and/or Andy. So you are going memory vs. snapshots. That's not going to be a very comprehensive analysis.
