Oh really?


Smarter player? Doesn't take hits? Yes Cam is talented but you can't deny that he plays recklessly too.




















Injured on this play:

Also, there's this:

I never said he was a smarter player, I said he has better instincts than RG3 when to get down, when to run on a pass play and running in general.

Cam Newton has played three seasons... hasn't missed a game. Part of that is size, no doubt. Part of that is him being able to slide and run out of bounds and not take unnecessary hits. I think a big part of that is also he rarely pitches the ball like RG3, which I think is the dumbest thing the Redskins do.

I see a big difference between there running styles. RG3 is a sprinter that sees a first down and will do anything to get it. Cam Newton is shiftier and has that 6th sense to him, similar to Russell Wilson. That is just my opinion on the two running styles.

The Cam-RG3 comparison is an interesting one for sure. At this point last year, there were a lot of people down on Cam.. He wasn't developing as a passer, he needed to do a better job running the offense, he wasn't maturing as a leader, his game had 'regressed'...sound familiar?

Cam is definitely bigger and his frame is more suited for taking some hits. Instinctually I think he's more naturally inclined to football than RG3 from the standpoint of elusiveness and quick movements. If you think about it, we've never seen RG3 juke someone out of their shoes, he just outruns them. Cam has short area and open field moves that are more instinct than training and repetition.

Weapons wise on offense, we are very similar to the Panthers.. One standout WR and some fillers, a playmaking TE and a yardage eating RB (and a coach under fire). Watching to see if RG follows the Cam trajectory in year #3 to start translating that into wins.

Not really. Pats have benefited from a many of calls. The Saints game was courtesy of a no call from the ref. Gronk wasn't going to catch that pass.

They also got screwed when they played the Jets. Pats are just like every other team in the league. People just pay more attention to them because they have been one of, if not the most successful team the past decade.

Well Belichick made it a point to b*tch about that call, even though this made their win against the Saints possible:

I agree. That should have been called as well.

I just get annoyed when people act like the Patriots get certain calls that other teams do not. I am sure I can point to any game in the NFL and point to the officiating as a reason that game did not go the way it should have. Belichick will complain because he has the maturity of a 14 year old girl.

Rule states interception makes pass uncatchable. LaRon Landry got the same call in the 2007playoffs against Seattle.

No they didn't. Gronk had no chance to catch the pass, it was picked off a few yards ahead of him. If the ball actually got to the receiver, you'd have a case.

If I had to guess, I would say you hate the Patriots.

[JoeRedskin]

I know Brady is a whiny player but I think that was some legit bitching on his part.

Of course Gronk couldn't get back to make a play on the ball ... Kuechly was busy tackling him. I'd be pissed too.
