Out of 30 players, Cam got 25 votes to The Golden Calf of Bristol's 5.

“Newton. He’s a way better player. Much, much better. Cam’s like 10 times better. Cam’s only going to get better. He’s scary as it is right now.”

Thing is there's such a specific subset of people who would prefer The Golden Calf of Bristol to Newton (with both fans and players) and that's what's reflected here.

Assuming that for your opinion to count you have to have some working knowledge of football and how the QB position works then people likely to prefer The Golden Calf of Bristol with an identical supporting cast or over the long term are Denver fans, Carolina haters, or Holy Rollers*.

An impartial observer who is looking at QB play and individual ability with some knowledge behind it will take Newton almost every time. It's obvious with the Players Poll here and if you equalize the volume of the different fan subsets it's pretty clear there too.

Honestly I wish people would stop even asking this question in the media - it's a flawed comparison at best.

*No offense to people who are super-hyper-christian. I know Newton is a religious guy too but The Golden Calf of Bristol and his vocal in your face I'm religious style wins him the "I may or may not know about football but I LOVE GOD" crowd.

I have to admit, I am more Bama than Auburn, and I really had to respect him as a player outside of the team that he played for. This kid spotted a Nick Saban Defense 24 points and then pulled off the greatest comeback in the history of the SEC. Normally when Nick Saban gets a 10 point lead its over. I honestly think that if Cam had gone to Miss State, they could have won a National Championship.

I'd like to know the 5 who voted for The Golden Calf of Bristol.

Very likely the people who he has beaten with 4th quarter comebacks this year.

Not saying The Golden Calf of Bristol IS better, but that kind of thing will leave an impression.

I'll bet the three pro-The Golden Calf of Bristol comments were from a Falcon, a Buc, and a Saint. Wishful thinking, lads.

I kind of doubt that actually because it seems people who play against Cam have tremendous respect for what he can do.

      Schedule Release: Leaks and Rumors

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      The Carolina Huddle

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.

      Favorite JAG 2020+

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      My top-5 JAGS: 1. Tommy Tremble: May not ever be top-tier, but has been solid and you never doubt the effort. 2. Cade Mays: Not bad for a 6th rounder. Hated to see him go. 3. Brady Christensen: One of the most versatile backup OLs in the NFL. Hopefully we re-sign him. 4. Trevis Gipson: Quietly was really solid depth last season. Glad we brought him back. 5. Brycen Tremayne: Has been solid depth at WR, flashing at times last year.
