Stats. UghIf a guy with an AY/A of 7.0 "really isn't any NFL caliber QB" I'm curious to find out who is, in your mind. His passing stats are on par with Andrew Luck's over the course of their careers, and he's generally had much worse supporting casts.
On the other hand, this attitude is a good example of why Cam will be available to the Patriots if they need a new starter.
Idle thoughts of my own... On Cam Newton, I think it's totally possible he's the Patriots starting QB in 2020 if Brady does retire or otherwise leave as rumored, because I think the Panthers are dumb enough to think Kyle Allen is good.
I think Cam would probably be fine in the Patriots system. I also think folks underrate the difficulty in finding a good QB.
LOL. You don't always have to throw all the **** out there.Marietta will also be available.
Ummm, Michael Vick...Read the response a few times and trying to find logic.....So, are all running QB's assholes (Flute, Tarkenton, Vick), or just one's that you judge are me-first?
Then a QB who makes plays running is not acceptable (Russell Wilson)?Ummm, Michael Vick...
Flutie & Tarkenton were running for their lives quite a lot of the time.
Read the post a few times trying to find your logic...still looking...

Another Jumpy Punk who loves him some Hero Ball...loses the only feckin game I wanted him to win...was hoping he would leave last night's game on a stretcher...Feck him too.Then a QB who makes plays running is not acceptable (Russell Wilson)?
Reminds me a bit of Cam Newton, who's built like an absolute tank. The coaching staff in Carolina should have done more to protect Cam over the years. He's a pretty good pocket passer - not an exceptional one, but certainly hovering around top-10 in the NFL when healthy. But he was special because he could break from the pocket, and unlike Wilson, Cam invited and even sought contact because he was so big that he could bully most linebackers and defensive backs. The problem is this exposed his lower body to all sorts of injuries, which in turn has begun to limit his ability as a passer as he moves into his 30s. People dismiss running quarterbacks, but the issue is less with running quarterbacks' skills than with their longevity. It's one thing if you're playing 10 games a year for 3 years in college... when it's 16+ for a decade in the NFL, with bigger and faster guys coming at you, well...
For what it's worth, I think Jackson could make a successful transition to a Wilson-type. But I think the Ravens are going to have to alter their offense from what it is now to get him there. Otherwise they risk bottling a shooting star for a couple years but losing it down the road. Maybe there's something to that - riding a QB to death for their first rookie contract then discarding him for another new, shiny QB.
Not going to lie.
I don't care if it's Cam, Jackson, Vick, Jimmy... I really want to see him ..
create w a different QB. Its selfish & Madden-like but Id love to see him work w a Murray or even Baker?
