You guys are really clueless... it's incredible the fantasy world that has grown aground Cam... it's really inexplicable.. WTF has Cam ever done? He had one completely fluke overblown season on a loaded team ideally built for a run first QB,... then he had another completely overblown season that was a virtual carbon copy of Orton's season last year.. and people are still deluding their self..

It reminds me of this Matt Flynn madness based on selective memory..

The former five-star recruit entered the 2008 season battling for the backup job with redshirt freshman John Brantley, who now appears to be the future of Florida once Tim Tebow leaves. Newton, an undeniably talented athlete, will end his Gators career with 113 rushing yards along with 6-of-12 passing for 54 yards.

Cecil said he never found closure from Florida Coach Urban Meyer about his son’s future as a Gator once Mullen left, though he understands the Gators have priorities while fighting for a national title.

"Was he No. 2 or No. 3? We never really did define that," Cecil said about Cam’s status in the lineup. "And the verdict is out on whether Tim will stay or go this season."

University of Florida


Newton, far left, with Dan Mullen, Tim Tebow, John Brantley, and Bryan Waggener during his freshman season at UF.
In 2007, as a freshman, Newton earned the spot over fellow freshman quarterback John Brantley as the back-up for star quarterback and eventual Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow. He played in five games and threw for 40 yards on 5-of-10 passing and ran the ball 16 times for 103 yards and three touchdowns.[12] In 2008, during his sophomore season, Newton played in the season opener against Hawaii, but then suffered an ankle injury and decided to take a medical redshirt season.[13]
On November 21, 2008, Newton was arrested for alleged theft of a laptop computer from a student at the University of Florida. He was subsequently suspended from the team after the laptop was found to be in his possession.[14] Campus police "tracked the stolen laptop to the athlete...Newton tossed the computer out his dorm window in a humorously ill-advised attempt to hide it from cops."[15] All charges against Newton were dropped after he completed a court-approved pre-trial diversion program. "I believe that a person should not be thought of as a bad person because of some senseless mistake that they made," said Newton in 2010. "I think every person should have a second chance. If they blow that second chance, so be it for them."[16] Newton announced his intention to transfer from Florida three days before the Gators' national championship win over Oklahoma.[12]

Wow. If this threads shown anything, it's that you have serious issues follow the flow of a conversation. I think it was clear that I was saying he's peaked and just had the best year he's ever going to have in the NFL.

You aren't getting it...FLORIDA WASN'T ALLOWING NEWTON TO CONTINUE AT FLORIDA....So he went elsewhere..

Prove it. You claim that is a fact so prove it... they didn't even use cam when he wasn't in trouble.. only in garbage time. Hardly shows he was some dominant athlete as you claim..

he didn't want to sit out a year so he played for a small school, then the next year was the #1 recruit in the nation.

Cam went to Auburn because his daddy told him to go there because Auburn paid for him to go.

These are FACTS.

It is ALSO a fact that Newton WAS Tebow's direct backup before leaving school...

No.. those are delusions.. Cam's dad states the facts in the article...

(Talk about competing for the starting job)
"One thing about me: I don't want nothing given to me. Because first off, if something's given to you, 'Here, you're the starter', then the respect level with your teammates, you're not going to have the same respect as if you earn everything that you get. So I want to earn, from earning Gatorade to earning the towel to earning anything. I want to earn all of my whatever. Because people are entitled to their own opinion about you. And if they see, oh, coach gave Cam the starting spot. No. They're going to say Cam earned the starting spot, and if I'm not the starter, it's because the person worked harder than me."

(Talk about your departure from Florida)
"While I was at Florida, of course a lot of people think I got kicked out of Florida. I did not get kicked out of Florida. I transferred from Florida. I had a legal issue, a slip-up with the computer issue that I had bought from a person, which was stolen. That issue was taken care of way before I even left Florida. The charges were dropped and what-not. But I left Florida because I felt like the type of player I was, I didn't want to sit behind no one, because I have dreams, I have aspirations to be a starter for a Division I NCAA team, and I think while I was at Florida, I probably wasn't going to get that, with Tim Tebow at the reigns and John Brantley, me and him at the same classification, something was going to have to give...

From the horse faces own mouth.. bwahahahhaha

I am sure you will keep deluding yourself though...

Sounds like the guy I want leading my team. Along with his "I'm like a caged lion that can't be caged" parable brilliance- I wouldn't be a bit surprised to see a Vince Young-like flameout.

But I don't understand why it's so hard to conclude he had a lousy game yesterday.

Maybe it's because, if you allow for a minute that a quarterback with a bright future can have horrible stats in a losing game, then maybe Tebow's last postseason game doesn't mean he can't play at this level, either.

Maybe, just maybe, Cam stepped into a good situation offensively, one that was geared to help him succeed, and he made the most of it. Because in an environment yesterday where it was more vanilla NFL, he crapped the bed.

I understand that. Im not the one saying Tebow is better or Newton sux because of how he played in the probowl.
Now Tebow on the other hand hasnt had good passing stats in but one game. I reiterate...he was a 46.5% passer during the season in which the rules are so lax , how can you not be 50% at least?

You are only looking at one stat.. completion percentage.. and ignoring yard per attempt and turnovers...

As well as talent on the offenses...

Not to mention that Fox is trying to play a complementary style that focus es on the run game.. complete opposite of what the Panthers were doing.

Why is it so hard for people to understand completion percentage is only one small part of stats?

If Tebow was as bad as his completion percentage appears then his passer rating would be much lower..

But in 2011, all playoff starters completed over 60% but for Flacco, Dalton and Tebow, and alex smith who competed 56%. If a'R qb can't complete 60% in today's NFL he's a liability

See, you're following the 'Favre is better than Elway' argument I had pretty much verbatim. Look at that page you posted and compare Favre to Elway. I said looking at completion percentage and not Y/A is bull****. Completion percentage is worthless if you're comparing QB's in fundamentally different systems. Traditional West Coast offenses will yield high completion percentages.


Run first then heave when you get desperate will give you low completion percentages. There's a reason that when Tim breaks 300 yards, he's setting yards per completion records. He's routinely throwing much deeper than most QB's

He does when half the OL isnt all on IR. I keep seeing here how your OL isnt very good according to many posters in here yet you led the league in rushing and it is certainly better than ours. Our defense had a QB who threw INT's and fumbled too and fumbled a snap to loose a game for us. We still went 8-8 and only Marion Barber not going out of bounds kept us out of the playoffs.
The genius is how some of you think Tebow is actually a good QB. Elway just said in an interview that he si bringing in competition for Tebow in TC and he may not even win the job...lol

I'm a Florida fan, and there's no question Brantley had moved ahead of Cam Newton on the depth chart. He was not going to get to play.

But I will say this - Cam couldn't hit the ocean from the beach at Florida. Throwing the ball, he looked like a totally different player. It wasn't surprising at all that Brantley was #2.

The real mystery is how Cam got so good in that one year at the junior college (I forget the name, Blumpkin or something).

You'll now make a completely subjective statement and hold it as evidence that my opinion doesn't make sense because your completely subjective opinion is different.

That's why your question doesn't deserve answering, because it's a stupid circular argument.





The value is that playoff success is a pretty good measure of progress, and Alex Smith was better on the only day that mattered.

Id bet NONE would...including your own. Only a Bronco fan would say something like this. Why on earth would any GM take Tebow of Newton who is a good runner himself, can throw the ball 10 times better, ha a better arm and is bigger and faster?

Why? Please explain. Im guessing all you got is "he has a winning record" while Newtons defense was 28th in the league.

I don't get that -- he had over a 100 passer rating four times this season ( out of 12 games). Over passer rating of 90 7 times (out of 12 games).

I thought the Minnesota game really stood out as one where he put it all together, and presumably Pittsburgh was the "one" you had in mind.

I mean, really -- I've been watching NFL for 30+ years, and I've never seen a guy come out of the gate without looking bad in a lot of games at first. I was following Matt Stafford his first year starting, and he hit a passer rating of 100 only once. Completed 53.3% of his passes, which is higher than Tebow's, but that offense generated more easy completions.

Tebow's completion percentage is a little bit deceptively low because this offense generates very few "cheapies" and he had an above average number of drops. I think it was more like a 52% type of season, which is not all that bad considering.

No mystery Jay.. he wasn't that good at Auburn.. their run game opened everything...

And this year he had all the pieces to make him look good. His mechanics improved at JC though.. but that may have hurt him as a passer like Tebow..

I disagree. I think he's an incredible player.

He may turned out to be damage goods upstairs, but he's as God-gifted as they come at playing quarterback.

Fox threw plenty with Orton...because he could. You led the league in rushing.....stop saying your offense isnt any good and if it isnt, it is because of the QB!!!!
Orton had 9 turnovers with you and Tebow had 12. Tebow fumbled 13 times total (6 lost) with his 6 INT's. Orton threw 155 times in his 4 games...Tebow only threw 271 in 11 games.

As for his paser rating...part of it only being only 72 is because of his completion%

Im talking this year. He had over 100 three times and one of them he was 2-8 with a TD pass for a 102 rating.
His last two games he had a 37 and a 20 rating.
Tebow would hit those cheapies if he wouldnt under throw an easy swing pass and he throws behind his recievers often. Its his own fault, he isnt very accurate isd all. Every QB has those cheapie completions, he just is missing them.

Was this before or after he benched him?

Wait, it would have to be before. My bad.

Then why did Fox switch Qbs and won far more withy Tebow"

It's because when Orton was QB the run game was terrible.. Orton is a dink and dunk passer.. that kills the run game. Tebow made the run game great which opened the deep passing game. Hence the low completion percentage with better results.

Tebow's deep passing ability opened the riun game more than Orton.. just the THREAT of Tebow's superior deep passing is more valuable than completion percentage.

You led the league in rushing.....stop saying your offense isnt any good and if it isnt, it is because of the QB!!!!

You are looking just at surface numbers... you don't understand football. Tebow made the riun game so good.. running is what wins football games..

Orton had 9 turnovers with you and Tebow had 12.

WTF? Tebow played far more games..

Tebow fumbled 13 times total (6 lost) with his 6 INT's. Orton threw 155 times in his 4 games...Tebow only threw 271 in 11 games.

Tebow made the Broncos the best running team in the NFL overnight.. not just because of his running ability but because of his deep passing ability as well. The simplistic offesne the Broncos ran caused him those turnovers later.. and the fact he had to carry the offense so much. This offense was designed to complement the D too.. Orton's was not.. Orton would have been killed playing the way Tebow did..

As for his paser rating...part of it only being only 72 is because of his completion%

Tebow's passer rating was better than Sam Bradford's.. also doesn't factor in style of play or Tebow's dominant running.. and impact on run game and D...

Laughably stupid. Again, I can't prove it but you just need to apply a little bit of common sense. Cam Newton was the first pick of the draft and he easily exceeded expectations this season. There might be a few GM's who would favor Tebow because of his intangibles, and perhaps his character superiority compared to Newton, but even that's questionable. This is a passing league and Newton proved he can sling it. Tebow hasn't remotely proven that. The fact that you're having this argument with me, and that you're actually serious, cements the fact that you should recuse yourself from Tebow discussions because you're far too biased to be rational. Ridiculous.
