HoboRocket Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 (edited) Just throwing this out there: Cam Newton's top WR's over the course of his career: 1. 32-34 year old Steve Smith 2. Kelvin Benjamin (out of the NFL) 3. Ted Ginn (just wow) 4. Brandon LaFell 5. Devin Funchess Edited February 17, 2020 by HoboRocket 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah he is a very talented running back for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danger Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Pretty cut and dry, Cam Newton has been an average to bad passer outside of the 2nd half of 2015. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soko Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Easily Rivers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamondbull424 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 I’ll take Cam Newton. He’s got a skillset that you can’t coach that he brings to the game. I feel like he’s more likely to give me a SB win than Phillip Rivers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET80 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 If I'm building a team from scratch, like an expansion team build - I'm probably going to go with Cam. Let him redshirt his first year behind an expansion OL and build the entire team around his skillset - bring him along slowly, bring in pieces along the OL and WRs who could grow with him. It would take a while, but that team would probably be dominant on offense pretty quickly. If I had a team that was a QB away from competing, I go Rivers. He's refined to the point of completion, his game isn't really going to improve - but it doesn't need to improve. He'll take the offense I have and make it perform to it's maximum for the most part. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anc360 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 They both have roughly the same win percentage (both in the regular and post seasons) which is kind of ridiculous considering the stacked teams Rivers has led. I think it’s impossible to deny that Cam has received more scrutiny for his play. Rivers has led his team to an 8-8 or worse record in 5 of his 14 seasons as a starter. He’s thrown 20 or more interceptions in 3 different seasons. He’s accounted for 20+ overall turnovers in 6 different seasons. Cam Newton, despite playing in about half as fewer seasons, has TWO seasons with more total TDs than Rivers has scored in a season. Despite this Rivers always seems to be regarded as a tragically underrated QB while Cam is some petulant, underserving figure. Rivers has been a liability for his teams far more often than is ever acknowledged. Cam is the type of QB who will evade a sure sack on the game winning drive to set up a win. Rivers is the type of QB who will convert 3 4th downs on a potential game winning drive before throwing 4 incompletions on the goal line. Give me Cam, needless to say. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hits every nail that I would’ve hit. Completely agree. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danger Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Cam Newton might be better if you had someone like Andy Reid as your coach who can polish any QB like no other. Other than that, I don't think there's much of an argument for Cam frankly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Ramster Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Rivers easily. But man a specimen like a Cam is so intriguing with the right HC/OC. Dudes a beast when healthy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrnastiesNO Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 You almost have to go Cam by default. We have scene Rivers with weapons and it was pretty good but never was a legit contender. I've never seen Cam with a decent receiving core and he still manage a MVP and superbowl appearance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Buck Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Rivers has a higher floor and Cam has a higher ceiling. I think I'd probably roll the dice with Cam. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
