Cam Newton On Year Of The Rookie (Nfl Network) Right Now

RECAP

The first 40 minutes of the show had hardly any Cam. They followed some rookies through the draft. Had a clip of Von Miller and Jake Locker hanging out in New York, some draft day footage etc. Then, after commercials, there was a segment on Aldon Smith and Von Miller. Highlights, sound FX, coaches and analysts commentary, things like that. Then there was a segment on AJ Green and Julio Jones with a little Torrey Smith thrown in. Then there was the bit on rookie quarterbacks about a half an hour in. I thought for sure Cam would be in this one but it was mostly about TJ Yates and Andy Dalton with a little Ponder and Gabbert in the mix.

Then after a commercial, it hits that Cam wasn't in the rookie QBs section of the show because he had his own section. The 40minute mark to about 50 minutes in is all Cam. The showed the usual clips: TD pass to SS vs. the Cards, throws to SS, Lafell, Oslen vs. the Pack, TD runs vs the Bears Flacons and Lions, the crazy scramble vs the Bucs, etc. Probably stuff we've all seen 10x before.

The clips that I hadn't seen in a while were: Arron Rodgers saying in the postgame how he was glad he played us early in the season because once Cam figures things out he is going to be something special, Mike Smith talking about how three people had Cam on this Houdini play and calling him unbelievable, some analyst saying Cam was great because he makes players around him better then a cut to Cam talking to DeAngelo on the sidelines telling him not to pause before a pitch and then a Williams touchdown run off the pitch right after. Some pretty cool things.

Show ended on a highlight reel and some music.

    • I don't need that many words to say Bryce Young has not yet surpassed the caliber of QB play that current Joe Flacco represents.   I have watched every game Bryce has played.  He doesn't give you average QB play.   He can't make a ton of throws.  Bryce is consistent overall in what he is.  You can take outlier games on both ends of the spectrum out of play and judge him or any QB.....for Bryce it is unquestioned bottom of the league play.  All you have to do is watch the two play.  Flacco is good enough that if you can keep up right and give him time.....he presents a level of play Bryce can't do as a passer  
    • Not sure.  Which ones have more GWDs in the same time frame?
    • You kinda gloss over this, but this is really at the crux of this whole argument....which Flacco are we talking here?  You bring up that he played with 3 different teams but ignore the fact that his performance varied quite a bit from team to team. 2024 Colts: 65.3% completion, 12 TDs, 7 INTs, 220.1 YPG, 7.1 Y/A, 90.5 rating 2025 Browns: 58.1% completion, 2 TDs, 6 INTs, 203.8 YPG, 5.1 Y/A, 60.3 rating 2025 Bengals: 63.4% completion, 12 TDs, 3 INTs, 290.6 YPG, 6.8 Y/A, 96.2 rating 2025 Flacco (Browns + Bengals): 61.1% completion, 14 TDs, 9 INTs, 252.0 YPG, 6.1 Y/A, 80.8 rating vs. 2025 Bryce: 62.7% completion, 14 TDs, 7 INTs, 196.2 YPG, 6.2 Y/A, 86.0 rating I bolded the comparison that I think objectively makes the most sense...just simply comparing the two QBs for the entire season.  Otherwise you'd be cherry-picking Flacco's time with the Bengals and ignoring his earlier stint with the Browns, which sounds an awful lot like people cherry-picking Bryce's stats in the second half of last season. So again, which Flacco?  Basically the only thing consistent with Flacco across each of these teams was his W/L records: 2-4, 1-3, and 1-4 respectively.  I'd say if we're comparing each version of him to Bryce this year: Colts Flacco > 2025 Bryce, Browns Flacco <<< 2025 Bryce, Bengals Flacco >> 2025 Bryce, and 2025 Flacco < 2025 Bryce - Flacco this year only beats out Bryce on YPG but in part because he throws significantly more passes (almost 60 YPG more than Bryce, despite a lower Y/A which is pretty telling) .  Flacco is maybe the most apt case study about how important a QB's circumstances are to his success.  He was easily a bottom 3 QB in Cleveland and arguably top 10-15 in Cincinnati...and we're talking about the same player from the same season.  All that happened was taking him from one team and plopping him onto another team; nothing inherently changed about him as a QB.  Funny enough I think that's all that one dude on here was trying to say when he made that long poorly-received post after having an epiphany working for PFF behind the scenes or w/e.  That it's largely short-sighted to just try to evaluate QBs in a vacuum when there are so many variables at play that ultimately decide whether a QB is successful or not.   I think Bryce has been mediocre at best this season and I'm ready to move on regardless of how he ends this season - I'm highly skeptical a strong end to the season will carry over into next year considering how last year ended and this year began.  I would certainly agree that he's a bottom-third QB this year.  I just don't understand you scoffing indignantly at anyone holding the opinion that Bryce has had a better season than Flacco...I can only assume it's recency bias.  Or maybe you know the stats don't support you, which is why you're conjuring up the god-forsaken arbitrary "eyeball test" which is the kinda thing people in here were saying about Fields for years, pinky promising that he really truly was a franchise QB despite his awful stats.  Perhaps it's called the eyeball test because I roll my eyes anytime I hear someone bring it up seriously as an argument.
