Receiver...since Legedu Nanaee and Brandon LaFell sure aren't making "one incredible catch after another".

That receiver was the subject of trade rumors the year prior and had a very down season. Suddenly Newton comes in and now he is on a pace for a career high in yards and everything is rosy again.

Tim Tebow isn't even close to Cam Newton in fact I'd take Cam over Luck for the next decade

Not as great as Cam, but Rick Mirer had a very very good rookie year with the Seahawks. And, of course, there's the legendary Greg Cook who changed the course of NFL history

Greg Cook ended his career on an injury. Let me ask you this Smoot, what else would Cam have to do to convince you he is the real deal?

And his injury changed the course of football.

I think, and I suspect NC Skins would say the same, Cam has been absolutely outstanding through his first six (or is it seven?) games. But we've seen many players, at different positions across all sports, get off to hot starts only to fade. So to say let's see how it plays out over a bit of a longer sample size is not hate. Not at all.

Every player will have bad games, he showed me enough. If he had 5 bad games in a row wouldn't matter. It seems to some people he has to be perfect.

I think you took NC Skins comments too personal. I mean at no time did I, and probably anyone else, think he hates him and wants to see him fail. Can't understand why you did.

I'm going to hire SS as my agent. In the immortal words, a great mod once said...."Preach".

Agreed. He's completely changed my opinion about him in just a few short weeks. I thought him and his dad were in on it the entire way with the pay for play scheme. But he's said and done all the right things in his short time in the NFL so far. And he actually comes across as genuine, unlike Michael Vick since he got out of prison.

Cam is a class guy, the way he dress and speak, and without the tatoos, yes he will have a great future.
