NFL.com lists the best playoff quarterbacks...


TN05

Recommended Posts

And surprise surprise, everyone is riding Kaepernick. To save you the trouble of reading it:
*Dave Dameshek and Dan Hanzus earn gold medals in stupidity for listing him as the second-best playoff quarterback behind Tom Brady.

*The only person to have Cam above Kaepernick (or to even have a remotely reasonable list, for that matter) was Gregg Rosenthal, who put Newton (No. 7) ahead of Kaepernick (No. 8). Only one other writer (Marc Sessler) has Cam not being the worst.

 

Also, for those who think the media just hates Cam, not the Panthers - in a list of backup quarterbacks, Derek Anderson (a former Pro-Bowler) is listed behind Matt Hasselbeck (the only other Pro Bowler, so fair enough), Ryan Mallet, Tarvaris Jackson, Luke McCown, Colt McCoy, Brock Osweiler, and Charlie Whitehurst.

I can't wait to see us smack the Niners down on Sunday.

Cam is playing in his first ever playoff game this weekend, why would anyone think these "analysts" would have him ranked high? The sooner people stop flocking to post about these morons, the better off the huddle will be. Threads about Dameshek, and Schein should be banned.

The term "experience" is being overblown in regards to this game.

 

Kaep started 8 regular season games and lead his team to a Super Bowl, experience means very little in this case, and people are really sleeping on Cam and this football team. It's beyond strange.

I hope the Panthers at least win this game. I feel a lot of analysts are waiting for them to lose so they can discredit their 12-4 season. Similar to when we lost against the Saints on SNF and there were multiple articles claiming that Newton or the Panthers are just not ready yet, even though we beat the Patriots and 49ers.

I agree. I think it's nearly irrelevant. TD and Kalil have been to playoffs. Smith and Gross played in a Super Bowl. Cam won a national championship. These guys are professionals and are used to the big stage. It's just an excuse to not pick the Panthers.

BTW, the Andrew Luck hype is crazy. 4 Career TDs to 5 TOs in 2 playoff games and you're already being projected to be an all-time great? If the Colts win tomorrow, I definitely won't be watching ESPN, Fox Sports, NBC Sports, NFL Network, etc. for a week.

THIS! ^^^^^

I usually don't mind watching NFL AM, or sportscenter, but this week has been unbearable with their unwarranted lust for Kaepernick and the 9ers.  Apparently, Kaepernick is infinitely better than Cam, and their Defense is infinitely better than the Panthers D, and we beat them early in the year only because their omnipresent team decided to show mercy to us and take a weekend off.  Gimme a Break, Panthers 28, Fairies 13

    • Love the Freeling pick even more after watching his pressers. Dude is sharp and definitely seems to have the right mentality. I loved hearing how personal he took having a bad game with a torn labrum and instead of seeing that as the reason for his bad game and not changing anything, it motivated him to work even harder. Such a great pick, we finally got our all pro level LT for the next decade and now we can move Ickey to RT or guard with no hurt feelings due to his injury. Second favorite pick is probably Brazzell. He said he false started on his 40 and it cost him probably 0.04 seconds, so he’s more of a 4.33 guy rather than 4.37. Really Randy Moss lite. I didn’t know anything about him prior to drafting him and first highlight reel I saw of him I immediately thought he looked like Moss. Then I saw the measurables and was like yep. Then I see that he’s drawn that comparison by many scouts and analysts. If he can add consistency and play to the level of his highlights every play then we got an incredible value.
    • During his three years at UGA he only allowed 5 sacks. He is only 21 and is on an upward trajectory. He's a great athlete that was good basketball player in high-school.  His height (76% how is this only 76%???? these guys are giants now), hands (81%), span (99%), speed (96%), quickness (10 yd. 86%), and explosiveness (vert. 96%, broad 97%) are all outstanding.  When we took Freeling, Fano, Mauioga, Proctor, and Miller were all off the board so we could have drafted Iheanachor or Lomu instead or waited to the second or third round to take Bell, Tiernan or Barber or wait even longer.  A lot of these tackles (including the first two taken) project to right tackle or guard in the NFL and that's not what we needed now.  Freeling has some sloppiness to clean up in his run blocking, but he's young and getting better.  We can let him get experience behind Walker and Moton knowing if he has to replace one of the two this year, his pass blocking won't get Bryce killed. Icky's not coming back from that injury as a nfl starting left tackle and Moton is in the twilight of his career.  If Walker has a great year, we will have to pay him a lot and if he is medicore we would want to let him walk.  Getting a LT on a rookie contract is going to help a lot with the cap.    
    • It was cool but they have done this at least in recent years unless I am imagining it
