Ahead of him are Eli Manning, Tom Brady, Ben Roethlisberger, Drew Brees, Aaron Rodgers, and Peyton Manning.

He beats out Phillip Rivers, Matt Ryan, Michael Vick, Matthew Stafford, Tony Romo, Matt Schaub, Jay Cutler, and, shockingly, Matt Moore!

7) Cam Newton, Carolina Panthers: It's a small sample size, but I also knew I liked Ben & Jerry's "Phish Food" from my first tasting spoon. Some things you just know.

Cammy Cam is in some pretty good company now. He's not at the point of being completely hyped, either - his high ranking is based on actual admiration of his skills by legitimate sources around the league. Hopefully he'll crack the top five after this year.

That is definitely fair. Ten, count it, ten Superbowl rings are shared between those top six quarterbacks. Cam will have to lead our team to a Lombardi to be crowned elite. For now, he's as damn good as it gets - a rookie at that.

He needs a ring before he moves up any further

what? why? if he progresses to the point where he's performing above anyone currently above him on the list it makes sense to shift him ahead in the rankings. adrian peterson is arguably the best back in the league; would you arbitrarily hold him at number seven until he wins a superbowl?

I personally don't hold any grudges against a Superbowl ring or not. The media heads do; however, and unless he can get us one they won't crown him in their class.

those quarterbacks are on that list because of their eliteness, not because they won superbowls. they have rings BECAUSE they are elite.

there's a difference.

So if Cam is elite at their level he will get a ring too :)

      Would absolutely love to have him. I dont think he would require more than a 5th rounder. The biggest thing with his contract is the amount of guaranteed money. As long as they can work out and scenario where the Panthers aren't on the hook for a lot of that, I think it's a no-brainer. The Panthers can come up with $20M at the drop of a hat with restructuring Moton's contract, so there definitely isn't an issue from a money perspective. Jaycee paired with Ramsey along with Mike Jack would give us one of the best CB groups in the league. The one caveat I see is that safety still remains our biggest current weakness. We need a starting caliber S more than CB, simply put. But adding someone like Ramsey would be amazing as long as the compensation made sense. Ramsey could also play for FS snaps also. I also dont understand this nonsense about being seasons away. We have a QB on a rookie deal who was playing at an elite level to end last season. Within reason, now is absolutely the time to make moves like trading for Ramsey.

      He'd be a huge upgrade for this year, but we're still not going to be contenders with him and I'd rather keep the cap space to roll into next season to spend on a younger player who can be an impact starter for us for the next 3-5 years while we're hoping to contend.

      Because playoff hockey and regular season hockey aren’t the same thing.  It’s a combination of the game intensity being dialed up with loose officiating.
