They hated Cam, but love RG3?


Awesomeness!!

Recommended Posts

WTF???!?!! Anyone else notice this? I didn't watch a ton of college ball this year, and only maybe a Quarter of Baylor, so I don't know much about RG3 other than highlights on Youtube/ESPN, but from the looks of it he has the same skill set of...Camron Newton. How...in the hell is it possible for Cam to basically go on trail last year, but everybody is moist over basically the same guy the very next year..

they're only similar in that they're both black and athletic. RG3 runs way less and is viewed as a PURE PASSER with the added benefit of having trackstar speed. cam was viewed as more of a run-first qb because of the offense he played in and his stats.

Well he's a different type of QB than Cam. Cam has been a big play, around 60% completions type of guy, while RG3 has been a very accurate, 70%+ completions type guy.

I'm sure that will change at least for a while when RG3 gets to the NFL, but you gotta remember, for like the first 5 or 6 games he had more touchdowns than he had incompletions. That's just insane.

    • I think the qualification has changed over time though. A deep ball play used to take 4 to 6 seconds for the receiver to get to that spot on the field. Now a receiver can be there in 2.5. That's less time than most QBs have to set and throw. In my mind a deep route takes time to develop. A crossing route and a deep route can't take the same amount of time at full speed. You can have 4 deep balls on the same drive,  almost 5 if you do 5 20 yard throws goal line to goal line. That doesn't even make sense when you say it out loud. 
    • The sad part is it looks manicured enough that he's aware it's running away from him.  Also, I just wanted to give you some fun loving grief on King Haynes today having a chance to throw a game winning TD, and was wildly errant, and ultimately picked off to end the game.  So happy I won't have to hear anything else about The Golden Calf of Bristol lite ever again watching college football.
    • I just think Panthers believe in Bryce far more than the fans do and he is most likely going to be the QB at least the next two seasons. the real shot of us moving from Bryce is not getting an extension, till then they are going to give him every chance to succeed and I just want to win.
