Speaking of overrated.. Scam Newton

One good season, a bunch of mediocre ones

His air yards are among the highest in the NFL usually, lowering his completion percentage. Truth be told I don't think Carolina has ever put the best help around there (if anyone says KB is a legit 1, they're trolling) for him. For as unique as Cam is, the actual fundamentals of the offense kind of suck. Good try bringing in Curtis Samuel and McCaffrey, but they aren't saving that team. Cam's shoulder is more of a legit concern, imo. I see several above average seasons in there.

Well, he'll be facing the team that's dead last in defense this weekend.

You could pretty easily trick yourself into thinking Kaep>Cam if we did this same exercise OP is doing. I'd hope nobody actually is gonna argue it now that I brought it up, but...

Wow. I never realized how mediocre he was. Those are some telling stats.

 

[Sgt Brutus]

'Yards per Carry' has dropped almost every year, although he shouldn't be running that much imo

5.6 rookie year, 14 TDs
4.0 last year, 5 TDs
3.3 so far this year, 1 TD

Made sure to see him play his rookie year.


Can't take hits like that and stay tip top for long.

It's all accumulating now.

Dallas needs to take note. That up ender at the goaline was six points. And prolly cuts some life off Daks career.

I never touch running QBs in fantasy.

Very Flacco like. Except Flacco has three more years in the league and 30 more picks. So it's possible Cammy can be worse.

Always has been overrated/overhyped...always will be. There are those people that really 'want' him to be the face of the NFL...cause he hip....he cool. He's a very poor passer with terrible mechanics and relies mostly on athleticism to get by. His 2015 season is one of the bigger bullshit, fraudulent years I've seen from a QB...perhaps ever....and it showed what type of player/guy he is.

As a front runner all year, he's all smiles and gets put on pedestals and whatnot. When faced with some adversity, ie the Super Bowl...he's a cowardly, sulking sack of shit.

 

[SteelersPride]

His value came with mediocre passing, and excellent legs, opening up things for the rb's and wr's by always having to account for him keeping the ball

I'm not sure if he has crap WR's or makes them look like crap with his QB play. Benjamin needs to retire, he is more fragile than Reed in Washington or Lee in Dallas.

That is a terrible chart to use. Cam is not Drew Brees or Tom Brady. He isn't a true pocket passer. Would have been more credible if you posted his running numbers as well

 

[bksballer89]

He was good in 2011, 2013, & 2015 IMO when you actually look at the running #'s as well.

35 total TD's in his rookie year and over 700 yards rushing? Damn good year for a rookie QB if you ask me. The Texans WOULD GLADLY take 4,000+ yds passing & 700+ rushing yards from Watson in his rookie season this year.

Saying he only had one good year is flat out a lie.

His accuracy is just so awful

 

[Fountain City Blues]

His accuracy is just so awful

Is it? Or are the difficulty of throws he's being asked to make higher.

Dunno I just know he overthrew Mccafrey 2 weeks ago by 8 feet on a throw from the 2

Wide open

 

[Used 2 B Hu]

Well he's completely under-rated as a snazzy dresser

 

[Thruthefog]

With Scam, that team goes as far as the defense will take it.

why does everyone say that? i dont understand. a QB's job is to throw the ball. its what they should be primarily judged on.
thats like saying a yankee prospect who hits .211 is awesome because he steals bases.
