Rosenthal just can't give up on his Luck love (though he's good at giving Cam the credit he is due)...

 

 

 

The next generation is coming. Russell Wilson,Andrew Luck and Ryan Tannehill all progressed.Cam Newton "matured," which is media translation for his defense getting better (Newton never was exactly a problem). Nick Foles came out of nowhere to bolster the 2012 rookie class.

 

 

 

Next level

 

5. Ben Roethlisberger (6) 

6. Russell Wilson (8)

7. Andrew Luck (6) 

8. Cam Newton (14) 

9. Nick Foles (N/A) 

 

 

 

 

Let me see here... Cam has a higher QB rating than Luck?

 

Check.

 

Cam has a higher yards per attempt than Luck? 

 

Check.

 

Cam has more TDs scored than Luck?

 

Check.

 

And (using last years NFL "expert" criteria) Cam has more "wins" than Luck?

 

Check.

 

And, just guessing here (and using yet another of last year's NFL "expert" criteria), but I think Cam has more "clutch" "comeback" wins this year than Luck?

 

But Luck is the better QB?

 

OK.

People are so ingrained with the thought of Luck being the one that they can't fathom anything less

Isn't this the same fool that rated Kaepernick and RG3 higher than Cam last year (and said he looked at Cam's Rookie season as well), by claiming they were more accurate than Cam (not taking in account the systems they played in)?

 

I remember, I vociferously disagreed with him (if it was truly him), cause I knew neither Kaepernick or RG3 were legitimate pocket QB's, especially compared to Cam. And now everyone knows this. 

 

And Luck has done nothing this year (at least compared to Cam's situation), while playing in a weak division, which pads his wins stats, even though they did win a few nice games. But nobody's afraid of Indianapolis.

Luck is really good....I dunno why some of y'all can't get over that.

 

You're missing the point. No one in this thread is saying luck sucks. However every measurable category says cam is better than luck but these "experts" can't stop picking luck over cam.

I don't think they're that similar as passers at all.  Luck is definitely more consistent with his accuracy, but he doesn't have Cam's arm.  Luck is still the more polished pocket passer at this point.  The biggest issue both guys have right now is a weak WR corps.

Disagree with this whole heartedly. 

 

Luck's neither very accurate, and certainly not consistently accurate, or even assuredly a better pocket passer than Cam (though he's good), comparatively speaking. 

 

Have you watched him play regularly, or are you going off perception, pre-draft, or what media tells you?

 

They're very similar already, with Cam having far more upside potential. 

 

And I like, am a fan of Luck.

How did Russell Wilson, go up, when his team lost this week, and he's been playing poorly the past month?

 

Is it cause, they're the only team with 3 losses still, out of the "next line" QB's mentioned.

 

And how was Cam #14 previously? Is it because, the NFL media, finally got a chance to see Cam operate during the end of that game vs New Orleans (and therefore should have been higher to begin with, if they were actually watching his games)?

I've watched 5-6 of his games and stand by what I said.  I think both franchises are very happy with their QBs.  I'm glad we have Cam.

      fug the HATERS

      By t96 · Posted

      We agree here dawg. I'd love for Bryce to succeed as would all huddlers. I have not seen a single huddler hate Bryce for anything other than his play on the field / potential / skillset. He hasn't gotten any of the irrational hate having nothing to do with football that Cam got. And yeah I understood going into this season with Bryce again as there weren't a ton of options, but man we missed the fuging mark on upgrading at backup QB with someone who could actually push Bryce. Bryce had zero pressure on him with a 100% washed up Dalton being the only other NFL caliber QB in the system. That absolutely needs to change this offseason. Ideally with an actual starter upgrade but that seems extremely unlikely due to not having many FA options and a bad draft. But at the very least with someone like you mentioned, young/upside and/or day 3 pick in the draft.   Another note, we have a top paid and top performing OL, great young talent at WR incl. likely OROY, great RB group, average all around TE group, offensive coach with creativity in the system and good play designs (poor situational playcalling but still I put out current offensive coaching staff over Shula who held Cam back for instance). Not the absolute best situation for a QB to be in, but still a very good situation around him. And yet we have a bottom 8 offense (6th lowest points scored). Imagine taking a victory lap for a QB leading his team to the 6th lowest points scored in the league and the 22nd highest passer rating (despite being asked to do less than many other QBs; i.e. Bo Nix who isn't great either and has a slightly lower passer rating but Sean Payton actually lets him try to throw the ball deep and has him throw significantly more than Bryce).

      similar to Atlanta and the NHL.  Atlanta has lost two NHL teams (and lost a minor leaguer).  Now there's another coalition pulling together another proposal for Atlanta to get an NHL expansion. While I'd like hockey to be back in Atlanta 'cause hockey is fun, I am skeptical that it'll happen based on previous teams' experience here alternatively: similar to Atlanta hosting a Major Tennis Tournament in advance of the US Open every mid/late summer.  Aside from the fact that Atlanta is said to be the country's largest Tennis playing city (with both USTA and ALTA, along with a number of side leagues) - playing tennis outdoors in Atlanta summer is miserable *and* they had difficulty attracting players... ticket sales were not good. So the Atlanta Open closed after 14 years.  They just couldn't make it happen, even if for all intents it appears to be massive tennis interest in the surrounding area.

      Like Kuechly….. still picking off QBs

      So I saw where Luke was doing that show parallel to the game. Whatever it was, statcast something something, knew it would be a good watch. I don’t get ESPN any more but that would be one of the about few things I would watch outside of games.     He doesn’t fool around on the radio broadcast.
