Steve Smith takes Cam over Tebow anyday.

Recommended Posts

Count Panthers receiver Steve Smith among those who aren't fawning over Denver quarterback The Golden Calf of Bristol.

While acknowledging The Golden Calf of Bristol's run of fourth-quarter comebacks, Smith said he'd still take Panthers rookie Cam Newton over The Golden Calf of Bristol any day.

“You can't compare Cam to The Golden Calf of Bristol. I think Cam's a more complete player,” Smith said. “The Golden Calf of Bristol has the wins. But everybody wants to crown The Golden Calf of Bristol. Yes, he has the will to win. I think The Golden Calf of Bristol is no different than any other professional. But The Golden Calf of Bristol has a great opportunity to play behind a great defense.”

Smith also took exception with characterizations of The Golden Calf of Bristol as a versatile quarterback.

“Versatile would mean you can throw the ball very accurately, run the ball, create things. And the only thing he's creating is running,”

For anyone asking him to compare Newton and The Golden Calf of Bristol, Smith had this response: “Come check me out in five years, jack, and you'll know who's the better quarterback

Hmmm

That is the second time in less than a week that it suggests Smith may want to play for five more years. That is largely due to his rejuvenation under Newton. I seriously doubt that he would be very excited to be playing with The Golden Calf of Bristol. And he would be nowhere close to 1000 yards.

    • How do you expect him to step up in the pocket when Ickey is being pushed to the spot you want him to be. Stills don’t tell the entire picture.
    • They're examples of denying reality. Here are some others: ,- Bryce is the worst QB in the NFL right now (no he isn't) - Bryce is the worst QB in NFL history (no he's not; that's stupid) - Well then Bryce is at least the the worst QB in the league over the last three years (nope, he's actually improved a lot since year one, which was a turbulent year anyway) - That's not true, he hasn't Improved one but since his rookie year (oh come on) 🙄 - Well, even if he did, we can't win with him (obviously we can) - Yeah but not unless everyone else is damn near perfect (think the game film from our wins this year would back that up?) - Even so, we won those games in spite of him (officially the stupidest argument available) And no, those are made up. You can find those quotes and other equally moronic statements in various threads around the board. I know some folks always need to characterize whatever they're against as the worst thing in existence. It's hyperbole, and it's hypersilly. Likewise, you've got some who are so absolutely emotional about it that even if you think Bryce isn't good enough (which I do) they'll still call you a stan if you don't agree to label him the lousiest passer in existence 🙄 It's just dumb, and it's not realistic. But on the flipside, here are some statements which are; - Bryce is indeed capable of both playing in, and winning, an NFL game. Not on a consistent level though, and consistency is huge. - He is also capable of completing mid-range and even some deep passes; hell, he threw a beauty this past Sunday  - Yes, he has improved over his rookie season and over last year. Arguing against that is disingenuous. - Believe it or not, other players are the roster do make mistakes in games also.  - And lastly, while I know it hurts some people's narrative and arguments, Bryce does indeed deserve credit for the winning games he's played in this season. ... Every single one of those statements is true. And since i acknowledge all that, I must be in favor of keeping him in place then Except I'm not 😕 ... Don't know of anyone who doesn't think he'll get the fifth year option. Not ready to guarantee anything beyond that, though. So bottom line: Yeah, Bryce is fully expected to be our quarterback through next year. If there were a logical, realistic path to acquire a more capable starter and transition Bryce to a backup I'd be elated, but that's a pipe dream. This where we're at  I don't **** it, you don't like it, others don't either. But here We are so let's make the best of it that we can.
    • What does it matter how fast the wrs are with Bryce he is not hitting them anyway
