http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id/...ree-armageddonUnrelated: Are we sure Cam Newton is an elite quarterback right now? Are we sure he's not the Tyreke Evans of football, one of those Über-athletic guys who puts up fantasy numbers but can't be trusted against quality teams? I thought he was appallingly, shockingly, mind-blowingly atrocious last night. His career numbers right now: seven wins, 12 losses, 23 TDs, 22 picks, 787 rushing yards. Oh, and here were his seven victories: 2011 Tampa (twice), 2011 Washington, 2011 Indianapolis, 2011 Jacksonville, 2011 Houston (with T.J. Yates), 2012 Saints (with an interim interim coach). Not exactly a murderer's row. I'm not crossing him off or anything, just saying that Cam's next four games (at Atlanta, home for Seattle, home for Dallas, at Chicago) are suddenly looming as an "early fork in the road" test for him. His career record might be 7-16 a month from now. Yikes.
Discuss.
what I'd like to know, if there are any stat gurus here, is what percentage of starting QBs in the SB era have been black.
then one could just say- blacks: 15% (or whatever the number is) of the QBs, and 2% of the SB victories. and what more could be argued?
who called him elite to begin with?
I don't wanna name names, but Trill Clinton and Creepn for starters.
He's a black QB so people have this weird thing where they build him up out of sympathy or some other weird . They want him to be good because he's black. Donovan McNabb's career
Looks like more drama in Carolina...Steve Smith ripped Cam for acting like a soppy c_unt on the sidelines during the rout.
Cam Newton
I wouldnt consider him elite but I don't understand all the hate either...he's played 19 games.
The career record is also misleading...he was the first overall pick so of course he's gonna play on a ty team to start his career.
don't see where i called him elite. nice try tho.
Oh, so you're saying you didn't call him elite--just a QB without flaws
Trill looking like a simp right now, smh. Thought dude was over that.
no i didn't call him elite. i made that post before his horrible game in wk3 and i clearly stated ”at this juncture”. you can try to imply that i said he was elite but i never did. c'mon doggie.Oh, so you're saying you didn't call him elite--just a QB without flaws
dpg hush.
Semantics will save you.
indeed
Trill - quit funking around and just admit Cam "I'll steal your laptop" Newton was a mistake by you.
It's still backwards logic that people say, "Well we haven't had very many black QBs during the superbowl era!" as if that's a positive for black QBs. The reason we haven't had very many black QBs during the SB era is because black QBs suck.
They don't suck (unless you only use SuperBowls).
Can you quote me please? Probably not.
Yall crack me up how yall circle jerk when a black quarterback goes through a slump. If I did that after every white QB, my balls would've shriveled up years ago.
Ya, Brady, Brees, Rogers, Eli all go through a ton of slumps and have losing records.
Im not on the bash the "black qb" bandwagon - it's stupid and there are plenty of very talented black qbs
