    Re: Cam Newton coming back to earth!

    By any measure, Cam has had an amazing rookie season. Nobody knows where his career will go from here, but I would think a rational projection would have to be upward and onward.

            You tight with Korkie?

            Wasn't he the one that was certain that the *'s would defeat the Steelers in their game here about 8 weeks ago?

            Excuse me, but I don't put a lot of stock into Korkie's opinion. Sorry if that makes me a .

                What did he say?

                "This guy's NOTHING like me...he's actually GOOD!!!"
                Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.

                Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.

                We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.

                We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.

                    Putting Cam Newton’s rookie season in perspective

                    Posted by Mike Florio on December 30, 2011



                    Team P.R. staffs from time to time send out emails touting the accomplishments of their players. Few such emails raise more eyebrows than the one circulated today by the Panthers.

                    We all know by now that rookie quarterback Cam Newton is having a special season. The email from the Panthers’ P.R. staff makes clear just how special it has been.

                    Newton already has set the all-time rookie record for passing yards, with 3,893 and counting. And he has surpassed Peyton Manning’s 3,739 yards in 1998 with 83 fewer attempts. That’s right, 83 fewer attempts.

                    Several weeks ago, Newton broke the all-time quarterback record for rushing touchdowns. He has 14.

                    Those 14 rushing touchdowns put him only one score behind a three-way tie for second place in all-time rookie rushing touchdowns. Mike Anderson, Clinton Portis, and Ickey Woods each scored 15. (Eric Dickerson holds the record, with 18.)

                    Combining the 14 rushing touchdowns with 20 passing touchdowns, Newton has shattered the all-time mark for total touchdowns accounted for by a rookie, surpassing the 27 from Charlie Conerly of the Giants in 1948.

                    So while some continue to believe that Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton should be named the offensive rookie of the year if his team qualifies for the postseason, Newton’s historic first season should make the decision a no-brainer.

                    And if there’s any doubt, the AP voters should ask themselves one simple question: Who would you rather have on your team, Newton or Dalton?

                        I think if you are ranking best seasons by a rookie qb Ben and newton have to be 1 and 2, and it's pretty close between them. Ben was obviously more efficient, but he was protected somewhat by play calling and a defense that could hold a lead. On the other hand newton was the cornerstone of the offense and his combined 4800 yards is just plain dirty.

                        Ben definitely delivered when called upon. And I think making the afccg tips it in bens favor. But I wouldn't fault someone for saying newton had a better rookie season. It's very close IMO.
                        In response to his pleas, an officer said: "You think we've never arrested somebody that's made national media? ... We deal with the Bengals all the time."

                            I think Cam had the best rookie season by a QB EVER!!!

                            Ben came to a team that was always a QB away from a SB. Cam went to the worst team in football last year and shattered records.

                            Ben had the best rookie season ever as far as wins are concerned but I think what Cam did was insane.
