Champ Bailey: Cam Newton is a bigger Michael Vick


Millions

Recommended Posts

Cams got a long way to go accuracy wise to be anything close to Ben.

Big Ben could throw the short dink and dunk.....that really is all Cam glaringly is off on. Young Big Ben that can run.

And it isn't about systems or what they were asked to do.....of course that is different. It is about how they play

In reality, Vick and Newton have very little in common.

Newton bears way more similarity as a QB to Brett Favre or John Elway.

If you want a better version of Vick, look in DC.

I think most on here are too young to have seen John Elway in his youth, but yes, Cam's abilities and style of play have always reminded me of a young Elway.

That's not to say they will have a similar career path. It's just too early. Cam may surpass anything Elway ever did, or he may fall woefully short, but so far they look like similar players.

Anyone who compares Cam to Vick losses lots of credibility in my mind.

Pretty much!

he plays nothing like Ben tho besides shedding defenders. young cam > younger big ben IMO Cam reminds me now of a 2010 Vick

RG3 reminds me more of Brees wit Vicks durability and Luck is like a bigger ARod

The favre comparison might hold weight remember Brett loves cam yall remember the interview with Deion Sanders this year? he said he'll take him over any young QB in the game..he maybe sees some of himself in Killa Cam.

I have no idea how young Elway looked lol ima youngin

While I wouldn't want to build a team around Vick, Cam has a long way to go to be as good as Vick in his prime.

exactly fug a hater if young killa cam plays anywhere close to young Vick or a 2010 Vick wit his arm & will to win/be one of the greats we'll be in a great position.

how can anyone hate on the comparison when he gave us and the entire league fits Vick was a problem and he ain't the problem now in Philly but that's another story.

Bens had the best football organization in the world around him. We all hope That our organization can be half of that round Cam. Only thing Cams got to work on to be a better version of Ben is accuracy. He does that, easily top 10 QB in the league. Possibly top 5. But it's obvious he has to work on that.

    • Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.
    • How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.
    • I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
