Ridic. Cam is a stud, period. You don't have to like it, but you should recognize good football. He threw for 300+, ran for 100+, and threw 5 TD's. What more can you ask from a football player?
I've been saying it since his rookie year, he's an exceptional player. People criticized me several weeks ago saying Carolina was a force and Cam was the reason. He's an awesome football player, just awesome.
People continue to say he's a sub-par passer, I've had this argument for weeks and weeks, perhaps months. I love completion %age, it's one stat I've held on to for a QB, for years, but this guy makes plays when it matters. He's throwing darts to average, at best, receivers and has a ton of drops, yet he keeps putting it on them, and I really do mean putting it on them (old Favre style with rocket balls). When they beat Seattle so early in the year I knew, he was putting balls on dudes and hitting them in the chest to win the game, he wouldn't let them lose.
And it's a total joke that people hate on his celebrations. Criticize a dude for being down on the sidelines earlier in his career right, like he has such a bad demeanor, and now hate on him for having fun. Can't have it both ways. People are hypocrites. Then last week, when the Giants scored with little time remaining, you look at Cam on the sidelines and he's just chewing gum and nodding, like we got this, and he went out and did it. That's what great QB's do.
Cam Newton is a new era QB. He's exceptional. The scary thing is, he's not, as some of you put it, a great pocket QB, and maybe so, but he's so young, and he's so awesome and will learn that. Reminds me of a Randall Cunningham or a Warren Moon quite frankly, only way better. Way better.
Cam Newton is a force in the NFL. He's a new era QB. Just because some of you don't comprehend what he's doing doesn't change it. I'm fairly old and love QB's like Carson Palmer, Drew Brees, Peyton Manning, and Tom Brady. But I know talent when I see it. I know change when I see it. Cam Newton is the change. He's awesome.
