It's not all that far fetched. He now has the two best passing days as a rookie in his first two games. That's sick...

You pick any one player. I'll take Newton. We can bump this thread at the end of the year.
He's not joking.

His passing numbers are sick and he has 70 yards and 2 TDs rushing in 2 games. Its really not far fetched at all imo.It's not all that far fetched. He now has the two best passing days as a rookie in his first two games. That's sick...

925 total yards and five TDs through two games. Wouldn't have dreamed that was going to happen a month ago. And the Panthers D is bad enough they'll be forced to keep letting him throw a bunch of weeks. Even the weeks he doesn't have to chuck it as much if he maintains the 40-60 yards rushing with a TD here and there it'll still be totally worth rolling him out there.
He's active and starting next week for me, I'll guarantee that much.

Cam, welcome to your new role as my QB1 over Big Ben.

Same here. I dont know how I can sit the guy now. We may have caught lightning in a bottle with this guy.
7400 total yards (6832 passing, 568 rushing) which would shatter the record book.

and in other news, brady passed for 400+ in consecutive games... for the first time in his career.It's not all that far fetched. He now has the two best passing days as a rookie in his first two games. That's sick...

Yeah there's no way Cam outscores Brady all year. Defenses will adjust and they'll still lose 14. I bet he's top ~8 though. Gonna be an excellent NFL QB.bradyYou pick any one player. I'll take Newton. We can bump this thread at the end of the year.

Announcers in that Pats game said Brady was the 6th QB ever to pass for 400 yards in back to back games, so I'm guessing Cam was the 5thand in other news, brady passed for 400+ in consecutive games... for the first time in his career.It's not all that far fetched. He now has the two best passing days as a rookie in his first two games. That's sick...
we likely have seen Cam's top 2 fantasy performances of the year. That being said, I can see how people will find it hard not to start him over any QB other than Rodgers, Brady, Brees, Rivers and maybe a few others. I'm rolling him out next week but will not be shocked to see a very average day. He still locks in pretty hard on first read and gets away with some bad footwork due to his huge arm strength. He has better weapons that I expected to. Lafell pulled down some nice grabs to pump up Cam's numbers. Smith looks good as ever. TEs look good too.
Starting the list pretty early...
Most yards passing in rookie debut
Most yards passing through first 2 games for a rookie
Most yards passing through first 2 games for any quarterback ever
Most yards passing in a single game by a rookie
Only the 6th time a QB has passed for 400+ yards in back-to-back games
Most yards passing in a single game in Panthers history
3rd most yards passing in a single game in Panthers history
2nd most yards rushing in a single game by a QB in Panthers history

Looks like they didn't have up to date stats, so cam is the 6th, brady is the 7th. (still rather impressive.) Brees did it once, but one game was the playoff loss last season so it doesn't count for nfl records.Announcers in that Pats game said Brady was the 6th QB ever to pass for 400 yards in back to back games, so I'm guessing Cam was the 5thand in other news, brady passed for 400+ in consecutive games... for the first time in his career.It's not all that far fetched.

That one footed jump pass 60 yard dime to Steve Smith late in the game was one of the most ridiculous things I've ever seen.

So after his first two career starts he's peaked and he's on the decline?
He got.taken one pick ahead of where you were going to take him tight?
According to Pantherclub, that shouldn't count since he technically jumped off his back foot. He should demostrate better mechanics and jump off the front foot if he wants to amount to anything in this league.

But he labeled him a "QB2"...Good call by Chase by the way. Throw enough at the wall, sometimes it sticks

Where do you guys see him in Dodds' Top 200 list later this week (overall and position)? I'm having a real hard time trying to decide whether to overreact to his performance thus far or underreact to prevent myself from overreating. Did that make sense? Am I crazy to consider him a top 5 quarterback going forward?

Even if dude is right and he never tops these two weeks, he could still easily finish Top 10.It was a very weak criticism.So after his first two career starts he's peaked and he's on the decline?
Newton's going to be a way better FF QB than in real life. Kid's potential is through the roof and the stats are very impressive but if you evaluate him as a NFL QB he leaves a lot to be desired. Once teams get enough film on him times will be a lot rougher.
Awesome start for him though and he's showing a lot of maturity (which is half the battle).

What makes you say that?Obviously, he's made his share of mistakes. Does he make more than you'd expect from a rookie being asked to completely carry an entire offense?
I can't tell yet how successful he'll be as as an NFL QB. Just curious what you see that tells you he'll be limited.

I'll add myself to it. I did not post it in this forum, but I did tell friends of mine that this kid should never have been taken in the first pick of the draft, and that he would never make it as an NFL QB. I am eating crow. He is simply remarkable.

I think that unless you have Brady, Rodgers, and maybe Brees, Vick, and Phillips you play him. Carolina will probably be behind a lot this year so he will throw quite a bit. If nobody is open then he will run. Between running and passing I can see him having a lot of 2-3 TD games this year.

:crickets:RELAX it's preseason. This is the first year that rookie had no benefit of OTA's. No need to stick your fork in him yet.play is really to go and grab newton from an owner who is freaking out at an admittedly subpar passing performance.

The world was convinced he was Akili Smith 15 days ago. Projecting his value going forward's a bit difficult to do.I don't think anybody would be crazy to start him over anyone not named Brady, Vick, Rodgers, Brees, or Rivers. I have no clue what he'll do, but the upside seems real. CAR can't run the ball very well and doesn't seem too interested. He's got the keys to this car and he's shown he can make plays.Still hard to trust a guy after 2 games when everyone thought he would bust.
Okay, shall I predict he throw for 500 yards next? Let's be realistic. There's going to be a decline in his average numbers coming up. It doesn't mean he's not fantasy relevant. I think he's a starting QB1 for the rest of the year. But I don't think he's averaging 30 fantasy points a game either. For the record I own him in 3 leagues.So after his first two career starts he's peaked and he's on the decline?

Because it's really hard to tell after two games. However, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that he is going to be a top 5-10 QB going forward this year. I base this not just on the kid's skills, but on the remarkable fact that the coaching staff has apparently decided that the best way for them to be competitive (and not so incidentally, put fans in the seats) is to let Cam loose and not reign him in. That tells me that he's going to continue to throw the ball deep all year long, and even though he will make plenty of dumbhead mistakes along the way, he's also going to get his 300 + yards as he keeps airing it out. I also think he'll run the ball more too, and run it for TDs- that represents, of course, an added plus for most of us who get 6 points for a rushing TD and 4 pts for a passing TD. I have decided to bench Tony Romo for Cam Newton. Let time prove me wrong. I think we've got a QB1 here, and a top player in FF this year.
