typical social media desperation move

this is same reason why nick wright does it, bcz he has a big platform and wants to be the only guy screaming something different

like kanye says, negative attention is still attention

If Cam had a little more game changer in his game he'd still be in the NFL rather than having been washed at 30.

Flying in on Friday. Cant wait.

I have to say some of the takes on Newton's comments are pretty hilarious, considering who they are coming from. A lot of the posters commenting were essentially making the same argument for Lance. "Oh, he's going to be a game changer." "He's going to be like Josh Allen or Patrick Mahomes," The problem with all of these takes is that they seem to be based on the belief that, yes, unicorns can exist in the NFL. It's this sort of mythical construct that there are players out there who can magically, pick a team up and carry it on their backs to Super Bowl victory. Football is perhaps the ultimate team sport and requires the contribution of many players and coaches to be successful.

In the NBA you can probably have an elite player who is able to elevate a mid-level team into competitiveness. In baseball you can have a slugger who can change the outcome of the game with a single at bat. In football it's almost the opposite, where one player, in one game, on one play, can change the outcome of a season for the worse. See Kyle Williams or Preston Riley. Though, obviously, it occasionally happens the other way as well. Like that Giant's receiver who caught that ball on his helmet against the Patriots. Of course, this take is particularly ironic coming from Newton who was never much of a passer and whose game relied more on his size and strength as a runner.

When you look at the other players who are generally thrown into this category, what have they really accomplished outside of Brady and Mahomes. Rodgers, who is a first ballot HOFer, won one Super Bowl in almost two decades worth of play but got eliminated in about three championship games. Josh Allen, who seems to be the poster boy for what a lot of people in here consider the ultimate QB, has been on a team that is often considered to be Super Bowl contenders, but has yet to bring home the prize, and has a tendency to throw a boatload of interceptions. What about Justin Herbert? He's another guy who is considered to be an elite player by some, but what has he been able to do to elevate the Chargers beyond their usual mediocrity?

Brock is an elite processor who sees the field really well and is able to make quick, and sound, decisions based on what he is seeing; has some mobility and can make all of the necessary throws. Listening to Newton I had to wonder if he saw the clip, which I mentioned in another post, where Brock was saying that on the TD to Deebo against Seattle, he saw that Jamal Adams was kind of flatfooted and didn't think he could get turned around fast enough to keep up with Deebo, who wasn't the primary target on that play, and so put the ball up where Deebo could go and get it. I seriously doubt that Newton EVER made a decision about a pass based on looking at a safety's feet. A more likely scenario is that he would have seen the first read wasn't open and then might have run for six yards, so no, I don't think Newton is a very good judge of what makes for a successful QB in this league.

Not sure I like the title of this thread. Having to look at 'Seahawks' everytime I click on it...

Cam values the same stuff that made him good but the stuff that made him good doesn't last. Once Cam's arm died off, once he wasn't able to run over people anymore, he was done. At 31 he was finished being an NFL passer.

Regardless of what people say, quarterbacking in the NFL is still primarily dependent on the same things it always has been. Drop back, make your reads, find the open receiver, deliver it to them quickly and accurately. When you do those things at a high level, not only are you going to be a really good quarterback, you're going to continue being a really good quarterback as you get older and your athleticism fades.

You are right he was washed at 30, it's a function of contact / hits. Once his feet started having issues that was it.
