    Re: Is Cam Newton Overrated?

    15-1 looks great, but Cam's stats don't look great compared to other veteran quarterbacks in the league.

    Look at the competition he faced in 2015, or should I say look at the competition he didn't face?

    http://espn.go.com/nfl/team/schedule...olina-panthers

    Jacksonville W 20-9

    Houston W 24-17

    New Orleans W 27-22

    Tampa Bay W 37-23

    Bye

    Seattle W 27-23

    Philadelphia W 27-16

    Indianapolis W 29-26 OT

    Green Bay W 37-29

    Tennessee W 27-10

    Washington W 44-16

    Dallas W 33-14

    New Orleans W 41-38

    Atlanta W 38-0

    Giants W 38-35

    Atlanta L 20-13

    Tampa Bay W 38-10

    Houston, Seattle and Green Bay were the Carolina Panthers toughest opponents in 2015.

    If the Bills had that sweet schedule, they'd probably have finished 13-3 or 12-4.

    Carolina went 7-8-1 in 2014.

    Look at who they played.

    http://www.nfl.com/schedules/2014/REG/PANTHERS

    The Panthers don't play well against good AFC teams.

    The Houston Texans were the toughest AFC team the Carolina Panthers faced in 2015.

    Bills imp, what the f@@@ are you talking about? 'Didn't play well against good afc teams?' Last I checked they beat them all. Yea they had an easy schedule but they beat almost everyone they played. Don't forget the absolute total beat down to the team I thought would win it all (cardinals)

    just stop. Please just stop!

    Randall was a beast, who as he got older improved and then evolved his game.

    Newton so far has improved his game and we'll see if he can evolve as 5 more years go by.

    But this year's version of Cam reminded me a lot of Randall back in 1990.

    Stop whining.

    The Houston Texans were the Carolina Panthers most difficult AFC opponent this season.

    Agree or disagree?

    You probably agree along with everyone else reading this.

    Texans made the playoffs, Colts didn't. Jacksonville? No.

    Cam Newton couldn't complete 60% of his passes this season in the face of the easiest schedule ever.

    If Carolina played in the AFC East in place of the Dolphins, they'd be 8-8 at best and nobody would be talking about the most overrated player in all of sports.

    They are the nfc champions. They beat the 2 time nfc champions followed by the cardinals who are way better than any other team in the afc south.

    what don't you understand?

    no I don't agree they'd be 8 and 8. That is ridiculous.

    I think the Panthers are gonna play like our Bills did in SBXXV personally. Bet your money on the Broncos.

    Nor do his targets look very good compared to other QB's in the league...

    He has Greg Olsen and......?

    Ted Ginn, Jr.?

    I still don't know how he did what he did with one viable target.

    Re: Is Cam Newton Overrated?

    Cam is the new breed, he is a QB that dish's out punishment when he runs , no cb wan'ts to tackle the guy along with some linebackers. this Superbowl could be a blow out for the panthers or could be a 10-3 barn burner. Denver has one of the worst o-lines in football so its hard for me to see Peyton having a good game, Cam on the other hand will run more in this game and that will be the difference. As far as Cam being over rated he is a elite qb that would make any team better including the Bills, ask yourself if Cam was a Buffalo Bill would we have made the playoffs and I say yes.

    Re: Is Cam Newton Overrated?

    If Watt does a dance after a sack he is a good exciting white guy. If Newton does a dance after a TD he is a thug.

    To me, the naysayers are showing just a touch of racist inclination. How many bad QBs have won MVP? And all the games but one on the way to the Superbowl?

    But to play
    that’s the thing
    shut up and deal

    Re: Is Cam Newton Overrated?

    When Newton entered the league I called him Scam. However, the Great numbers he has put up and how he has helped that franchise suggest that he was greatly underrated. My only concern for him now is how long can he stay in the league as mobile QBS tend to have shorter careers than pocket passers. Still he has done well and has shut up most of the critics.

    Re: Is Cam Newton Overrated?

    JJ Watt is a roided douchebag. Newton gives TD balls to kids. Nether has anything to do with their skin color, and I'd take either one on the Bills right now in a second.

    Re: Is Cam Newton Overrated?

    Out of the 13 teams Carolina played in the 2015 regular season, their combined W-L record was 92-116.

    Out of the 13 teams Denver played in the 2015 regular season, their combined W-L record was 106-102.

    Newton's numbers are inflated because the Panthers played a very weak schedule.

    Having a completion percentage that is less than 60% against sub .500 competition is not MVP material.

    You can only play the schedule you are given. Keep in mind New England plays us, the Jets and Fish six times each year and rarely loses divisional games. By your logic, Brady is the most overrated qb since 2001.

    He looked bad today but no QB would look good under that pressure. Id take him on the Bills any day.
