You Guys Wanted So Bad To Bash Cam Newton

[neverstoppers23]

will be sure to bump this thread come week 8 to remind everyone why he was expected to do so bad.

Well that is expected with a rookie QB. You can't discount how great of a week he had, I don't care who he is playing in the NFL. He he an all time great game, considering all of the variable circumstances.

[jjgold]

He had a great game
Will he be 1-7 by Week 8

[Boxer300]

Record setting first game does not mean record setting year, but I wasn't expecting that out of him in any game this season.

[Dark Horse]

He got a lot of help from the zebras. Last minute first half. Cards on Carolina 5 yard line. 15 yard penalty. Drive ends in missed FG. Carolina gets ball back. Refs call a bogus roughing the passer call; QB was hit at same time he released ball... 15 yard penalty. Panthers end up scoring a TD and go into half up 14-7 instead of down 7-14.

Panthers closing drive second half, behind 21-28. Another bogus roughing the passer call (brushing the passer, for these refs). 15 yard penalty. Newton missed on 5 straight shots from red zone to end zone. Game was not as close as it looked on the scoreboard.

Will be the first black QB to win a SB and go down as the best black QB ever..

He can throw a ball with touch, and shed pass rushers with strength much like Ben.. (two things that keep Vick from winning SB)

The Back-Shoulder throw to great receivers has changed the game...

Anybody not unloading on the Over in the Packers/Panthers game is nuts, will be one of the funnest games to watch all year...

[Boxer300]

I think everybody and their brother is gonna be on that over in the Pack/Panthers game including me

[ttrace35]

I doubt it. Big difference between ariz defense and GB defense. Only squares will be so quick to jump on the over.

[frostno98]

Vick will get a ring or two before his contract expires. Newton will only get better. When you see greatness you know it, and this kid got it.

[Naz18]

Cam Newton already has 2 TD passes.....Jimmy Clausen had 3 total TD passes in the entire season last year.

But of course we all know that was a NFL conspiracty to keep the white man down.

iifold meet Doug Williams my man.

Doug Williams doesn't count Pal..

That's common knowledge...

I mean lead a team to, AND win a Superbowl...

Did you see Carolina's Defense? Their secondary couldn't stop a high school team yesterday. Green Bay might hit the over by themselves.

[McBa1n]

I'll eat some crow, but lets be fair. 1- Carolina didn't win. 2- Carolina had a legit chance to tie, Newton did not make a play 3-Newton showed exactly 0 in preseason to make anyone who watches the NFL believe he can be an NFL QB.

Great game, but it's 1 game. I wouldn't go crazy, I wouldn't say the kid 'arrived' after 1 game. I can't go crazy, though, Carolina still lost. That said, Tim Tebow is not an NFL QB in any universe.

[McBa1n]

B.T.W, are we all wearing our toby gerhart, Peyton Hillis and Danny Amendola Jerseys to the meeting Wednesday ?

Do you think wearing a Danny "White" jersey would make it too obvious?

Doug Williams started 3 games the entire year the season he won. The point of winning the Super Bowl is leading a team through the bulk of a NFL, season through the playoffs, and culminating in the Super Bowl. Considering his record as WASH QB was 5-9, a career 50% passer, 69.4 passer rating, .51 TD/INT ratio, he wouldnt have led them there, but played amazing in the SB.

Those bashing Cam (myself on CAR Under 4.5 wins) werent exactly proven wrong after one game where he played great. 0-1 bottom line. Now here come the Champs, who wont have a screen door D like the Cards.

It's all good, site has a lot of youngsters, was just making sure.

Doug Williams needs his respect though, he DID IT on the biggest stage and it was a groundbreaking moment in the NFL. I wish Cam all the best, he showed a lot, but heads need to chill after 1 game.

Yup, I agree, it was more a question of semantics I guess saying first black QB to win SB. I do agree with the overall point though.

[Sunde91]

is that you Pedro Martinez?

[Redscot]

is that you Pedro Martinez?

. Nope, but it is one of my sons with him a few years back.

Redscot, nohing counts unless youre pale. Give it up mijo.

[MoneyLineDawg]

Yup I always said Cam would be an awesome QB......Panthers fans have a lot to look forward to even though they might suck this year......future is bright with Cam

[William Walters]

Vick will get a ring or two before his contract expires. Newton will only get better. When you see greatness you know it, and this kid got it.

Vick will never last a season with the way he plays..........and still be strong enough to make it through the playoffs.

After ONE game you've spotted "greatness"???? Defenses will adjust.....Cam will be a confused rookie.....and that "greatness" will be tough to spot.

[William Walters]

[I/O]

Tim Tebow is a likable guy. How many other college Qbs do you hear about going and talking to a group of prison inmates or going and performing surgery on needy children in the Philippians during spring break ? I would like to see him succeed, especially since everybody is telling him he cant.

Cam Newton was the #1 pick. He is supposed to be a good QB. He struggled in preseason and had a great game against a poor cardinals defense. It doesnt hurt that he has Steve Smith to throw too, just like it didnt hurt Tebow that he had Brandon Lloyd to throw to. Time will how good they can be. If Cam Newton keeps it up, he will be a great building block for the panthers.

Mark me down for not liking EITHER qb

Did you realized that Peyton Manning was 3-13 at one time and also threw 28 interceptions before becoming what he is today. In that 1998 year many were knocking him off too, despite him showing some glimpse of greatness. The Cam Newton story will follow similar path.

I didn't knew which team Cam Newton played for this year until I saw a headline showing him passing for 300 yards, before tuning to see what this guy's all about. And he has the tools to be way better than Culpepper, McNabb, or McNair.

[I/O]

He had a great game
Will he be 1-7 by Week 8

you gotta put something up when you make these posts

[Cap dat 4ss]

This thread isn't about the Panthers and good or bad they are, so the fact they lost has nothing to do with the main topic here. The bottom line is Cam Newton will be one of the greatest QB's ever to play the game when this is all said and done. Foldii wants to lump him together with JeMarcus Russell because he can't get past they are both big and black. He thinks they are one in the same and will follow the same path. But Cam is on another level. He's better than Rothlisberger right now. He doesn't have the hardware to show it because he's a rookie but he is more skilled and physically gifted than Big Ben. Right now the only QB's better than Cam Newton in the NFL are Brady, Rodgers and Breeze. Thats it. Guys played 1 game and is already the 4th best in the league.

Somehow i doubt that... you didnt check out the draft ??

You cant judge a guy off of one game. Chad Hutchinson looked great in his first Game with the Bears and then fizzled out ...

[slacker00]

It'll be fun to see if Cam can keep up this level of play. I definitely didn't see this coming, I don't think anyone did.

Wes Welker for MVP ....

[wantitall4moi]

Look at the stats QBs had yesterday. And Thursday for that matter. brady might throw his arm out tonight, if he want to he could probably throw for 600 yards. Teams that cant run and get behind throw the ball. But guys who can throw the ball also throw the ball. Look at some of the biggest losers at the position and see what they did. Falco and Orton looked like frigging Joe Montana.

Defenses are so far behind the curve right now it isnt even funny. Newton was also playing one of the worst teams around, and they still lost even with those meaningless stats.

lets see what happens to all these guys once the defense get in sync, probably 3rd week for some, 4 and 5th week for others. And start blitzing the shit out of guys.

This year is a whole new animal because 75% of the guys arent even in playing shape yet yet alone ready to go. Lock out put the season behind 6 weeks regardless of what they want to make people believe.

I wasnt too far off. Guys creaming themselves over this kid doing what he did are a joke. Defenses suck, and Arizona is one of the worst.

[frostno98]

This guy going to pass for 5,000 yards as a rookie. This was the best passing defense in the league he just went off on, although 3 picks didn't help, he would had won that game.
