Steve Smith takes Cam over Tebow anyday.

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.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
