Cam Newton On Pace to be Greatest Football Player Eva

Which is what makes what he's done this season so impressive, despite it not being reflected in the win column.

When they get some pieces around him and a better coach, they'll be contenders for a long time.

 

especially on defense.

 

Miami is a crappy team... Carolina always had plenty of defensive talent... They just were playing John Fox's boring style of football... Cam has ,at the very least, brought excitement and promise offensively, to the franchise... But in the NFL, all it takes is an injury, poor personel decisions, or an offseason incident, to derail a promising career...

 

LOL who are you? I picture the Devil twiddling his fingers, smirking, and rubbing his mustache as he types.

 

Scoreboard

 

lol what a r****ded post.

none of that **** has anything to do with being "on pace" to be the greatest ever. someone wins a Heisman every year and JUCO couldn't be more irrelevant to the discussion.

simply put, to be greatest ever you have to be able to lay claim to either being the best college player ever or best NFL player ever.

Cam isn't the best college player ever, and to have any claim at best NFL player ever he has to win rings or at least win games.

Cam has the physical tools and has the right support system around him, including an organization that believes in him, receivers, etc. To make any claim that he's "on pace" to be anything near the greatest is mental r****dation.

There's a lot of excitement around him, and how could there not be? He's huge, he's black, he has a cannon for an arm, good mechanics, explosive running ability and decent accuracy. There's absolutely no way that both fans and analysts wouldn't root for him. I guess this thread is a good deal better than someone arguing that Tebow is on pace to be greatest ever but you're definitely shooting ur load too early on this.

 

What is the nfl record for most passing + rushing yards?

 

Putting PG's (what should have been) obvious hyperbole aside, I'm starting to think this kid is the real deal. He's everything Baby Vince should have been. Can't help but pull for him. Until 12/18, of course.

 

Agreed. The guy is pretty special. I'm just shocked he's playing this well this early.

He was on pace to throw for 6400 yards after his first 2 games.
Texans were on pace to go undefeated this year after the first 2 games.


the point is, you oversell the argument. He's played great at times and showed incredible flashes. Just accept it for what is it and stop trying to predict a 10+ year career pace based off the first 8 games...which they are 2-6 after all.

 

The dude is special, no doubt about it...inspriational......

As a a writer she is only kinda bad. As a television anchor, or reporter, she is a stammering, race-obsessed wreck. She tries way too hard to be "original" in her analysis, and darling, that just doesn't happen in this 'copy-and-paste' day and age.

 

The more success he has, the more his character will be tested. Some athletes fail because early success goes to their head, they get overconfident & feel entitled and quit working hard.

You can also learn a lot by how guys react to opposition and failure. Newton's bounce-back from the Atlanta game (where he wasn't really as bad as the stat show) to last week's awesome display was promising.

I heard he gave some bad answers at the combine but didn't see them myself.

 

Actually what I've read about him is that he is extremely smart -- seems to have a really high IQ, absorbs everything they teach him like a sponge, doesn't even need a cheat sheet on his arm to memorize plays, etc.

 

Being a quick thinker is better than being smart, someone that can recognize things and react more quickly to them than others......
