So Who Does Cam Newton Compare To? Try Manning AND Walker...Combined

Football Outsiders decided to try and do a historical comparison for Cam Newton to see which current or former player he most compares too. What they soon found out is they had no comparison when trying to factor in his running ability and instead had to look at that separately. So they started with using his passing stats only and here's the top 3 comparisons:
1 - Peyton Manning
2 - Bernie Kosar
3 - Daunte Culpepper
I'm not surprised of those comparisons at all given Newton just broke Manning's rookie passing record. I'm a little surprised that he compared to Culpepper only because I would have thought the comparison would have been in his ability to run the ball. Now when they tried to include his running ability Newton essentially broke the calculation. The obvious comparison's are Michael Vick and Randall Cunningham, who along with Bobby Douglas are the only QBs to rush for more than 700 yards in a season. (Tebow can join the club with 56 more yards)
Yet none of these QBs can match Newton's passing performance so instead they decided to compare him purely as a rusher to get a comparison with the top 3 being:
2 - Herschel Walker
Wow, what a group of runners from the legendary Herschel Walker to MJD. If anyone doubts this comparison simply watch Newton's 49 yard TD run against the Bucs and I'm sure you will change your mind.

And still after all the broken records, close games, and awesome plays
The Panthers are still getting snubbed by ESPN. The kid is a Beast and a once in a lifetime talent that has exploded onto the NFL seen but all he gets are little snippets every once in a while about a great play making the top ten of the week. They don’t mention the records, the wins, the celebration, Nothing. But they can find at least 10 minutes a day to talk about Tim Tebow, or Tony Homo’s hurt hand. I’m am so sick of sportscenter for not recognizing a superstar in the making.
IT AIN'T SIZE OF THE DOG IN THE FIGHT BUT THE SIZE OF THE FIGHT IN THE DOG
give it time, come March it'll be all over the place.
People simply don’t talk about non-playoff contenders when the playoff picture is on the cusp. As of now, when they get to him, its short & sweet because there is no controversy, just a “wow.”
Come March
All we will hear about is Andrew Luck. The kid isn’t even the NFL yet and I’m sick of hearing about him on NFL Live
Already talking Kings Ransom for the Rams if they get the pick. Herschel Walker level trade. A LOT of hype for a kid who never has came up big when the lights was on. Kind of pressure would get to any player.

The funny thing is
I have seen more Cam highlights on the NFL Network than on ESPN the past couple of weeks.

Like it or not, it's because of the following reasons:
1. The Panthers are out of the playoff hunt and that is the traditional talking topic of the season.
2. We are a small market team.
We’re just going to have to accept that right now. It comes with the territory. However, I wouldn’t be surprised to see a lot of marveling after the season at the achievements Cam Newton has accomplished as a rookie. He’s a shoo-in for the ROTY award. He’s broken a rookie record that Peyton Manning held and he will probably break more next week. That will bring some hype.
Bottom line is that once the Panthers start winning more, we aren’t going to get attention. No big deal in my book. When have we ever been good when the attention is on us?
ACC Championship Member Brandon Thompson is the new Jacoby Ford. You better pick him Panthers or you will be doomed to relive the 2010 season over and over again in the Twilight Zone.
Clemson 2011 ACC Champions! Look forward to doing it again next year! :D
I'm certainly glad the Panthers are a small market team.
Then I don’t need to hear about who Cam is dating.
That's probably another big reason too.
ESPN depends on the local market to help provide the news to the major outlets. It’s sort of like the chain of command. Look at what we got. John Fox got so irritated of them that he would only give the basic answer to them in order to get them off his back. Once he got to Denver, he started opening up because they were much more professional.

I've said elsewhere, but that 49 yard TD run was just ridiculous.
I’d be impressed if that was Stewart bursting through the line, juking a safety and carrying another 8 yards into the endzone. But that was the QB. That’s not meant to happen in the NFL!

Nope what Cam is doing is what you see on Saturdays not Sundays. Cam has transitioned into the NFL seamlessly. He is on the grandest stage with the best football players in the world and he still is above the pack. Man it is going to be fun to see him grow.

'We got to learn to stick in the knife and turn it - Ron Rivera aka BAMF
agreed 1000%
It’s gonna be awesome watching teams try to scheme around him and find ways to stop the triple threat
IT AIN'T SIZE OF THE DOG IN THE FIGHT BUT THE SIZE OF THE FIGHT IN THE DOG
The triple option we've now perfected, with Stew and Williams in the backfield - play-fake to one, read option to the other, is IMPOSSIBLE for a team to stop.
They can study film all they want, they can’t cover all those possibilities, without bringing up both safeties, and being open to the post route.
Cam runs it to perfection, and our RBs are also perfectly suited. Stewart up the middle, Cam reads the safety
and LB, Deangelo with the outside burners. IIRC, we first broke out the option against New Orleans, and scored twice?? Greg Williams will scheme up something designed to stop it. So, Chud needs to counter-scheme something new to fool them.
I love our offense.
So much to be done, and so few people willing to do it for me.
Compare this euphoria to the manic-depression we all felt last year, this time.
What a difference a cam makes.
Also worthy of note is how rediculously good Cam's fake handoff on the option is
On the frontal view I could barely tell that he took the ball away from Stewart on his 50 yard TD run last week
Good call. He has a top veteran's play fake ability.
The fact that it MUST be honored, with the RBs we have, helps make it a nightmare for defenses to react quickly enough. The combination of a deceiving handoff, his running speed and power, and the uncanny ability he has of making the right read, instantly, off the motion and reaction of the tackler – very few fails, and a whole lot of big gains.
Cam also compares to Jimmy Walker...cause he is DY-NO-MITE!!!

Seriously though next year we should be getting a good number of primetime games. I mean Jacksonsville was on 3 times(?) this year. C’mon Man!
I am a firm believer that every team should get at least 1 primetime game a year
With 17 MNF games, 17 SNF games, and I think 8 or 9 Thursday night games, that is over 40 Primetime games with two teams in every game, that add up to over 80 opportunities for a team to be on primetime but we have to watch pretty much the same teams week in week out. The Cowgirls(who suck), Redskins(Super Suckage), Giants(Sucktastic), Colts(words can’t describe the Ultimate Suckage), Patriots(Ok pretty good team but who cares,they cheat), Packers(Understandable but I’m personally tired of seeing them all the time), Saints(Or should I say Aints), Jets(Cuz their coach can’t shut up), Oh Yeah and I can’t forget about the Dolphins(Who are still riding the “undefeated season 50 years ago train” but still suck) And last but certainly not least the Chargers(Epic Suckulicious levels of Suckiness). And then they wonder why most of the Probowlers come from those teams, Well DUHH!!! Thats the only teams anybody has heard about. Oh and I did forget one team and I can’t believ I did this cuz I really don’t mind the team but I absolutely LOATH their fans because they are the most arrogant Bastards in the free world and that is the (pause for dramatic emphasis) Steelers.
IT AIN'T SIZE OF THE DOG IN THE FIGHT BUT THE SIZE OF THE FIGHT IN THE DOG
I do agree that every team should get at least one primetime game per year...
It’s difficult to pull that off when making the schedule, but each team should be given the opportunity to be seen in prime time.

I may not always be right, but even a blind nut finds a squirrel every once in a while.
I agree it is probably difficult
But I checked last year and noticed that Carolina averages a Monday night game once every other year, but other teams get two or even three every year. I just don’t see this as fair. And they use the size of the fanbase as an excuse, but I’m not a genius by any means and I don’t have a college degree but It wouldn’t take Einstein to figure out that if ou put these smaller fanbase teams on TV and let the world see them, then their fanbase would grow. At least that seems to make sense in my mind, cuz if I didn’t have Sunday Ticket, I would never get to see a Panther game living in Virginia.

Expect in the off-season to hear every ‘expert’ jump on board, with the Panthers to be the trendy wildcard pick.
And the networks know where the eyeballs are coming from, and everybody wants to see Newton. Unlike Tebowmania, which was just a spilit-second shooting star, Newton is a mega-comet, heading for this planet. Expect the term Camania to be coined ere long.

I think we should get a Monday night and a Sunday night game(my hope is that our Sunday night game is a divisional game fighting for playoff position in week 17).
I bet the Denver vs. Carolina game will be a Monday Night game.
Tebow vs. Cam. I will love seeing Cam school Tebow at the quarterback position.
I would love it if it were the Chiefs game
Just because I should be at that one.
It might actually be a good game too, as the Chiefs have been just as destroyed by injuries as the Panthers D was this season.

Unlike Tebow (among a host of other talents) Cam has a vast array of other Offensive weapons at his disposal.
He’s vastly helped by having Williams and Stewart in the backfield, to confuse defenses as to who exactly is going to run over them.
This, when coupled with Chud’s imaginative and aggressive style (compared to Fox’s conservatism), and Cam’s passing abilities (averaging over 13 yds for every completion, a monster number in today’s dink and dunk screen pass era), make it a nightmare for opposing DCs.
Now that we’ve figured out who can do what, and our OL has become more efficient in their blocking assignments, you should expect us to average 30+ points per game next year.
That's with an assumption that Tebow will still be starting for Denver by then.
Even with TebowMania running wild, I’m still not 100% sold that he is Denver’s long term answer. If Kansas City beats them this Sunday, and Tebow drops a few more games during the next preseason…ruh roh.
Newton for '11 ROY! (Update: Etch it in stone)
Walker for '11 ROY!
Biyombo for DPOY!
Yep Cam is just amazing, there has never been a player so dynamic like Cam is. Incase Chud does leave do you think it will really hurt Cam’s progress under a new OC? I mean I’m sure Hurney and Rivera would ensure they get a OC that matches the same attack style we use now.. I still don’t think Chud leaves but if he does, how bad do you think it will harm Cam and the offense? Is there any other team that changed OC and still thrived the next season?
by PantherTrain on Dec 27, 2011 3:40 PM EST via mobile reply actions
Oh and also, Rivera said in his presser when asked about Chud that he won’t know anything until Monday? What does that mean? Is Monday the day coordinators and coaches can leave or get hired?
by PantherTrain on Dec 27, 2011 3:45 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
Because the last day of the regular season is Monday.
Teams that don’t make the playoffs can interview coaches from teams that don’t make the playoffs starting Monday.
Rivera will know Monday if Chud has any interviews lined up.

I may not always be right, but even a blind nut finds a squirrel every once in a while.
He can only be offered a promotion while under contract, correct?
If true, this means he can only move up to Head Coach.
Hard to beleive he would’t get offered a HC job.
But on the other hand, look how many times Rivera got passed over.
That rule is kind if iffy
For example, an OC/assistant HC job would technically be a promotion. I doubt Chud would leave for that, though.

Vick was pretty dynamic when he first came into the league.
"Nah, you look like Elijah Wood." - danmerqury
Coming form a person that watched every snap of Vick in Atlanta
Difference between Vick and Newton is
Vick average to struggling within the scheme of the offense and dynamic outside of the scheme offense
Newton very good to dynamic within the scheme of the offense and dynamic outside of the scheme of the offence.
Oh yeah Vick was only effective when he did what he wanted.
But that’s because the OC didn’t design a good offence for him and quite frankly Vick didn’t have the work ethic required to be a QB in the NFL.
"Nah, you look like Elijah Wood." - danmerqury
And for good reason too!
When the play breaks down and all well-laid plans fail….Cam Newton is a 6, 6 monster that will put you on your ass if you aren’t careful.

He’s got a great attitude, height, speed, hands of Velcro, toughness in tight spaces, and is a phenomenal and willing blocker down field. Doesn’t look like a potential diva to me, but a force to be reckoned with.
Speaking of Braylon Edwards...
Did you see the college scholarships he just paid out??? He promised an entire senior class to pay $10,000 towards the college of every single graduate… Well 79 students (more than expected) graduated. And he stuck to his word and wrote $800,000 of tuition checks. That’s 80% of his entire salary!

When you go to a restaurant on the weekends and it’s busy they start a waiting list. They start calling out names, they say “Dufresne, party of two. Dufresne, party of two.” And if no one answers they’ll say their name again. “Dufresne, party of two, Dufresne, party of two.” But then if no one answers they’ll just go right on to the next name. “Bush, party of three.” Yeah, but what happened to the Dufresnes? No one seems to give a shit. Who can eat at a time like this – people are missing. You fuckers are selfish… the Dufresnes are in someone’s trunk right now, with duct tape over their mouths. And they’re hungry! That’s a double whammy. We need help. Bush, search party of three! You can eat when you find the Dufresnes.

I truly believe that he is a top ten QB in the NFL, right now. However, I hope that he spends some time this offseason working on his intermediate-short range accuracy; one of his only flaws.

I know that the reading defenses thing would come, considering how much he studies and his knowledge of the game already. Just needs to get his mechanics down pat to where its second nature to him
Life is what you make it brothers....
Exactly.

Can't wait to see what this offense can do with a full year under it's belt.
If we can solidify the D, the NFL better watch the F out!
All Hail The Camtastic One!!!
Me, Bitches!
thanks for sharing
looked into the cincy jungle, and they’re in meltdown mode about Cam. even saw one poster say the Dalton will clearly be better next season because Newton will probably be on the cover of Madden.
I'm so glad my hopes rest on The Camtastic One's shoulders and not Opie Taylor's.

Lol, It's possible :^)
Yeah, I saw that even some of their posters think that Cam is better than Dalton.

No probowl for Cam
Eli got the #3 spot. Smitty and Kalil made it. Cam and Eli have same number of int, total yds basically identical, Cam has 8 more tds.
What a shame for gamble to be snub for the pro bowl
. Should have made it over Charles T, Joe Haden was snub as well in the afc.

wronged!
That is awful, unfortunately in cases like Charles Johnson and Chris Gamble they dont make it because of stats like ints and sacks even though the fact is teams spend alot of resources and gameplanning to avoid these guys from getting such stats. Ashame it is not universally recognized and as someone said about eli over cam, not being in a huge nfl market hurts as well

I actually like the Culpepper comp
Young Daunte Culpepper (prior to the injuries) was a beast, protect Cam and we’ll probably see an even better version.
