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.

      Panthers Blueprint: Draft

      By TD alt · Posted

      Two things: 1. Dr. Eric Eager is central to the draft process 2. I know that it was edited, but we didn't hear "Thieneman" one time, not even before the Vikings pick.

      Why would he sign here as a guard when surely someone would sign him as a tackle?  Assuming he is healthy

      Went back to watching the highlights. With a sober mind haha. Here is what I saw.    freddie needs to make 1 of those but the rest aren’t on him.    Slavin was BBBBAAAD again last night. Not sure what is going on with these game one Slavin gafs.    miller was ok but had his worst game in the playoffs so far.    nikishin was no good. His his awful turnover led to the first goal at the end of the first period that just can’t happen. ghost was beat like a drum multiple times last night, including the go-ahead goal at the end jarivs wont shoot. He is either hurt or he is struggling mentally and I think it could be a combination of both. He passed up a wide open net on the power-play only to pass it to no one and cleared it himself.     Svech played well. He is getting zero help on that line.    aho. Worst game as a pro. I mean that. He won’t shoot it, passes go to no one and turns it over repeatedly.  He did exactly what they did against Montreal game one when Miller had a turnover. Aho left his man to go help and left the golden Knight player wide open in front of Freddie.  If I was Rod, you Tell Aho when that thing hits your stick you fire it  someone needs to sit him down just him in a room and ask what’s going on. He seems soft, timid and has zero fire.   canes could have won that game   There isn’t a gap between these two teams  they are dead even   Carter Hart’s gonna get lit up in this series. We can beat that guy. the consensus last night was our defense played horrible and our stars won’t score.  clean the defense up. Tell the top line to shoot it everything and we’ll win tomorrow night.   Possibly convincingly.
