Best WR was Ted Ginn Jr. who was one of the fastest players in the league… only got 747-ish yards? Does that not have anything to do with the doofus throwing the football, or the defense giving them shorter fields?

Cam Newton was an incredible athlete. But, when asked to be a good Quarterback? He was terrible, and washed up by age 30.

When I think Cam Newton, I only remember him pouting on the sidelines with the towel hooded over his head, which he did with great frequency.

Cam values most in other QBs what gave him the most success. His approach to quarterbacking was all about speed and power and being physically dominant. I think he looks at guys like Dak and Purdy being put in the MVP discussion and is genuinely upset that they would be discussed as if they were in the same category as him.

"These dudes can't run over defenders, they can't throw it 50 yards on a line, what is this?"

I don't think he has much appreciation for the aspects of quarterbacking that he was never very good at so its easy to overlook that these these other guys are thriving in ways that he never did or could.

And I would say why his mark in the NFL was not lengthy. He may have those accolades for a short time but how much does he get mentioned nowadays? He is extremely closed-minded that he can't see this.

Guys who are more about physical ability then processing the field are always going to flame out eventually. It's why Russ has declined. It's gonna happen to Lamar when his physical abilities wane a bit. That 30 hits and you will inevitably slow down. Have to have the ability to fall back on playing the position.

I was never worried about cam whenever we faced the panthers.

Yeah, I was never worried about him either. I think Lamar is a way better QB than cam ever has been.

i worry about Lamar hitting us downfield. I worry about Lamar buying a bunch of time and hitting you with a great throw.

lamar can play QB! I personally didn't think he could pull it off, and I don't think he's amazing at it, but he's good. And when he is healthy - his incredible mobility is a serious problem.

the biggest evidence that cam sucks at playing QB, is that when he wasn't as mobile, he was awful. Like awful. He was never accurate, slow processor etc. he just had a dynamic element that allowed him to be a dangerous rusher.

I've said it a million times, when guys are really mobile - it makes the defense hesitate and those split seconds create huge nfl throwing windows. There is a reason why Lamar is a different qb when he's dealing with injuring that don't allow him to be as mobile.

when most guys are hitting their QB prime (29-30), cam was at his worst. The sign of someone who can't stand in the pocket and dice you up, which is the bread and butter if the position.

Right! Many teams look for that super athletic freak for a QB. Most of those types fail at the position, though. Creep up and take away the first read, and most are rendered impotent.

The 2 biggest differences between JG & BP from what I see is : #1 JG is not as accurate as BP. #2 Where JG would take the check down most of the time, BP will go for the kill shot further down the field. Also Brock hits the receivers in stride more than JG did. I'm glad we have him

When JG threw the balll to a target off screen you had no idea if it was a good ball or his once per game stupid INT

We all puckered up as fans and our first reaction was uh oh

When Purdy throws the ball off screen there is 100% trust in his decision and I am excited for the outcome of the play

Also, cam entered the nfl at a time where defenses really didn't know how to handle mobile QBs. Same as Kap. Those guys were the first ones to really be dynamic with it.

Cam was such a freak athlete that he would still be effective if he was 22 again, but it would be different these days.

The irony is people trying to tell Niners fans what a 'game manager is'. We know. That's why we know that Brock ain't that. We invented game managers for eff's sake in the Harbaugh era (no disrespect to Alex but it is what it is).

For real, we've been riddled with them for literally decades. Lol if anyone knows what a game manager looks like, we know.

You know you have a Game Manager at QB when you just want us to keep giving the ball to Gore and get nervous when the QB goes back to pass.

I would also add that Brock has been one of the better QB's in avoiding sacks and making plays out of structure while Jimmy was one of the worst.

If we are going to mention only two 'biggest differences', one of them should be the ability to read defenses. imo
1. ability to quickly diagnose defenses
2. everything else

The list is getting longer with each game he learns and gets better. JG would keep making the same mistakes over and over again. When JG came to the Niners we were on a streak of some pretty bad QB play so he did help show what the Offense could be. The thing is Purdy came along and showed just how much better it can be and it sure looks great from where I have been watching!!!!

That was because we had Kap behind a good OL Gore Vernon Davis Crabtree Boldin and the best front 7 in football consisting of Willis and Bowman. Cam wouldn't dare try to do QB power runs on dem boys. We were a BAD matchup for Cam but SEA was all about the LOB and that wasn't gonna help you vs Cam

Cam had a great run from college to pro and he can voice his opinion wrong as it may be

Who is saying he can't voice his opinion? Just saying he only shows that he is as stupid as he looks in that video.

Anybody, doesn't matter who you are or what you have done, puts an opinion out there, it is fair game to be picked apart, mocked, etc.

I realize you are trying to be funny and make lite of the situation. But I don't feel the title is good. Because other fans come to the board and even media. Then they see the title of the thread. Of course that's not what he is. I just don't think it's great to go into that place. He already gets a lot of unfair criticism. I know you aren't being real with the title. But still. Brock is great.

Because the way Cam succeeded in the NFL is not applicable to 99% of QBs out there. Cam was an over the top Create-A-Player freak. A QB built like a TE with a rocket arm. It's also not great if you're looking for longevity at the position. While it's become common for QBs to play into their late 30s nowadays, Cam was washed at 30 because of his style of play. All those hits and smashing into defenders eventually caught up to him. If Josh Allen doesn't chill then it'll catch up to him as well sooner rather than later.

If a 49er player(or brock family member) came and saw the title what would they think?

I think they would know it for what it is, and laugh. So who the F cares about other fans or media members who can't read it as the cheeky shot at them.

thread title is awesome, wz is king of sarcasm, eff other fans who come here and dont get it
