Cam Newton: The Real Deal?

[dalakhani]

He looked pretty good again. As a matter of fact, he looked like a seasoned vet at times.

Very impressive.

[keithting]

He's got poise


It's an intangible that you just can't teach !!!

It's a league of perfection. 3 picks? It will be a pattern.

How about Rodgers?

the only stat that matters shows 0-2.

No.3

One player can only do so much. His numbers have been incredible even though the three picks weren't good. The team is not that good. That's why they were in position to draft number one in the first place. Adrian Peterson is the best back in the league but they are 0-2 also. I think it's silly to use 0-2 as any kind of barometer of how well he's played. He's been great.

I think he had a 72.0 rating for this game.



He threw to the opposing players juuust a bit too much.

But he's a pretty loser.

my point is it doesn't matter if one player plays lights out. what matters is wins. you don't go to the post-season because your qb throws over 400 yards a game.
and 3 picks don't help.

In all fairness, and i am NOT comparing the two as qb's, but Peyton went 3-13 as a starting rookie. The fact tht his team lost two gritty games shouldnt be held against him. If he limits his bonehead throws, im eager to see what becomes of his career, and i dont even particularly care for the kid.

Exactly. I think Aikman's record was bad too. It's very hard for quarterbacks drafted in the top five to come in and win games right away because their teams usually suck and that's why they were drafting that high in the first place.

Heah we go again.

Making heroes out of people doing nothing heroic.

This is beginning to sound like the LeBron James deal....already.



Newtons Flaw has shown he can be every bit as good as Vinny Testeverde ...and so far, that's about it.

Obviously the real deal. Cam Newton is first QB in history to throw for 400 yds in his 1st 2 games and only 6th QB to have back-to-back 400 yd games period.
