    It is nice to see him get some appreciation. He just made people lose their minds. I remember that lady writing the letter.
    What folks forget is that the same drive he had gotten sacked. And the player that sacked him did the Hotline Bling dance over him while he was on the ground. But no one wrote him a letter.
    Cam is the only athlete I go up for. Carolina’s front office did not do what they needed to do for him. They never replaced Gross. He took a WR group of Ginn, rookie Funchess, Cotchery, and Philly Brown to a Super Bowl. Olsen was an amazing TE. But that’s it.

      Cam used to force passes to him. He wanted KB to be great. Funny enough, it’s actually kinda sorta KB’s fault that his shoulder got initially busted. On a 50/50 ball, KB got outmuscled by a much smaller DB (which happened WAY TOO OFTEN FOR A DUDE HIS SIZE, but I digress). The ball hit KB in his hands. He had it! And just…didn’t fight for it.
      DB goes in to try for a pick 6. KB does nothing to stop the DB. Cam himself ran down the field. Ran him out of bounds on that play. And that’s when he injured his shoulder.

      Yeah I have heard him massively overrate his current ability as being starter level in the league as of like right now, which is of course silly. But I mean, what ex athlete DOESN'T think they can still ball? After his shoulder went out in Carolina the first time before NE, it was over. but, Prime Cam really was so despised during his great years, that it seems like many people didn't realize he was so unbelievably great and impactful as a player. He's def got silly takes, but most ex athletes seem to have pretty dumbass takes

    Great QB. Definitely over hated. That 2015 season was magical. That said, not sure if his career was long enough and saw enough sustained success at the QB position for the HOF. I just don’t think 1 NFC championship, an MVP season, and a few pro bowls is enough.
    Great video. I enjoyed the modern comparisons to Josh and Lamar.

  • @Clownlife432
    @Clownlife432 2 месяца назад +1

    Kurt Warner showed no hate, he just offered a fair critique. Cam was a phenomenal athlete and the worry is always that they will learn too hard athleticism and stunt their development as a QB. In the end Kurt was right, Cam was great, but he never became a Brady, Mahomes, Manning.
    I liked the critique of Allen. He has been very inconsistent. Shown sparks of greatness with high volatility.

    • @DraftingUnicorns
      @DraftingUnicorns  2 месяца назад

      The point is more just how negatively viewed running QBs are, and now we have guys like Lamar and Josh Allen who the media love for being such dynamic runners. If Cam played today the hate would be lesser I'd guess

    • @Clownlife432
      @Clownlife432 2 месяца назад +1

      @@DraftingUnicorns I agree on that. I think in Allen I see more potential for him to play more like mahomes where it seemed Cam was always going to be a big runner, and those guys are a few hits away from losing it all or as their athleticism fades they drop off quickly. But Allen is more unfairly loved at the moment on his potential. I also hold doubts about Lamar even though he’s enjoyable to watch play.
      I think in the end you want a QB that can scramble but that is scheme master and has a big arm, and touch on the his passes.
      Looking forward to more of your work.

      Peyton Manning got his ass whooped in a Super Bowl, nobody defines him by that Seahawks loss. Aaron Rodgers' MVP threepeat isn't nullified by a couple bad playoff games. Tom Brady had multiple playoff games with 4 interceptions. I think Cam is getting stuck with the shitty end of a double standard here

  • @maxmolina6519
    @maxmolina6519 2 месяца назад +1

    I think the hate came from the loss in the Superbowl. People expected a franchised QB to jump on a ball and risk injury lol stupid tbh. Since then his demeanor and style rubbed off as immature. Seemed like he wasnt focused on winning. After his shoulder injury it was hard for him to throw deep. Which didnt help the narrative that he was a "running back playing QB"

    I mean, for Carolina he was great. But Carolina hasn't really had elite talent at that position. You're talking about comparing Newton to the likes of Matt Moore and Kerry Collins. Maybe the best comparison being Jake Delhomme, who matched Newton on most of his successes. However I still think Newton gets the edge due to his dual threat capability.

    • @DraftingUnicorns
      @DraftingUnicorns  2 месяца назад +1

      That comparison was just that the rest of the franchise hasn't changed much, it's all looking so disastrous. But Cam turned that losing franchise into a 15-1 season, Super Bowl appearance, MVP season. He's definitely more comparable to Josh Allen turning the bills franchise around, or Lamar Jackson's running impact schematically. He is still this franchise's all time most impactful player (though not best, thanks to Luke Kuechly)

    • @JamesHardy-yi1ph
      @JamesHardy-yi1ph 2 месяца назад +1

      @@DraftingUnicorns There's a fine line between questioning someone's character and character assassinations. I see a similar situation with Caleb Williams right now, although his criticisms are imo far more deserved than Cam's was (I won't speak on it here though).
      I care more about production on the field than anything else. So when some beat critic writes about how a player dresses or celebrates after touchdowns, that means almost nothing to me. The only thing I personally have against Newton is his NFL career was a short 1 year peak and he fell just short of capturing a ring. If he had won that ring, or put up MVP-type numbers for more than one year, I don't think you would have even had to make this video.
      Also I don't think Josh Allen really turned the Bills around though. Not on his own. Most people said he was a underachiever until Diggs showed up. He became a completely different player after that.

    • @DraftingUnicorns
      @DraftingUnicorns  2 месяца назад

      Definitely, QBs cannot turn around teams entirely on their own. but I'd certainly say the biggest difference between bad Bills and good Bills is Josh Allen, same with the Panthers and Cam. They can take what a team actually has and make use of it. I also think it's very true Josh Allen became much better with Diggs, receivers make QBs look and play better. What if Cam had Diggs for 3 years? I don't think he had anything comparable, other than old Steve Smith who dominated with Cam. The Carolina supporting cast was typically awful on offense, like the best they gave Cam was an average receiving core. I just think he's responsible for carrying them to so many wins few other QBs could make happen

      @JamesHardy-yi1ph 2 месяца назад +1

      @@DraftingUnicorns I don't think Carolina's front office did Cam any favors with the supporting cast (of lack thereof) they surrounded him with. Except maybe some good running backs. DeAngelo Williams and that other guy (forgot his name). I think they're perhaps helping Bryce Young now better than they've helped others in the past. Diontae Johnson is great receiver. He can have questionable hands at times but he's probably the best separator in the league. Not saying that will fix all your problems because I don't really know what your problems are. But it's a step in the right direction.

      Players careers aren't defined by how they play after near career ending shoulder surgeries, that Pats tenure was way past what Cam's prime was, and their team sucked. Prime Cam Newton, like 6-7 years, was an all time great, and a top 5 all time running QB. His supporting cast held his stats back so so bad, but his impact and way he changed how we accept runners at QB is HOF worthy

      That is a point worth looking into, but not the point I'm trying to make- just saying Cam had an all time elite peak and that people under-appreciate him. I also wouldn't blame individual QBs for that, Super Bowls are won by TEAMS. Offensive line play and defense have an amplified importance in the playoffs
