Cam Newton better than Drew Brees? One website says so
 

Few would dispute the value Cam Newton has for the Carolina Panthers.

He was the NFL's most valuable player during a season in which he had 50 touchdowns passing and rushing in the regular season and playoffs to help the Panthers reach the Super Bowl.

But does that make him a better quarterback than one of the league's all-time greats?

CBS Sports appears to think so with Newton rated two spots ahead of Drew Brees in a 1-to-32 listing of the league's starting quarterbacks.
Brees in 2015 completed 68.3 percent of his passes for an NFL-leading 4,870 yards with 32 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. That passing yardage total might well have eclipsed 5,000 for a fifth time had he not missed a game to injury for the first time in his pro career.

Newton as a passer rated well below the prolific Brees in some of those categories, with a 59.7 completion percentage for 3,837 yards. Where he matched Brees was in his touchdown-to-interception ratio of 35 and 10.

The main difference between the two is what Newton can do with his feet, as he ran for 636 yards with a 4.8-yard per-carry average and 10 touchdowns.

But as a pure passer, the 37-year-old Brees would appear to rank ahead of the 27-year-old Newton.

Give us that Carolina defense and Brees has 3 or 4 more Superbowl wins.

Re: Cam Newton better than Drew Brees? One website says so
 

At this point in their careers maybe an argument can be mad but as Danno said if we had their defense we would have had several more rings. Their offensive line isn't bad either until the Denver game. Brees has Newton beat in class by light years

Can we merge this thread with Ryan's stupid sayings?

Re: Cam Newton better than Drew Brees? One website says so
 

I'll take a Drew Brees in his prime over a prime Newton every game, especially in Prime-Time!

Re: Cam Newton better than Drew Brees? One website says so
 

If Cam would ever take the game as serious as Drew does he could be. This coming from a guy that can't stand him but i gotta call it how i see it.

Re: Cam Newton better than Drew Brees? One website says so
 

And that is the very reason why he will never be as good as Brees. His world revolves around himself and it always will.

Re: Cam Newton better than Drew Brees? One website says so
 

Put Drew Brees in Cam Newton's body and you likely have the greatest athlete of all time in any sport.

Cam is a freakishly gifted athlete yet a total narcissistic moron.

I doubt they ever come close to a Superbowl again.

Re: Cam Newton better than Drew Brees? One website says so
 

Totally agree. It was their defense that got them there and it is already losing key pieces.

Re: Cam Newton better than Drew Brees? One website says so
 

Completely different players. Brees has been great for a long time. Cam had a great season last year. While all signs point to him having a great career, because he has all the tools, it's just too early to call him great and to compare him to Brees.

Re: Cam Newton better than Drew Brees? One website says so
 

This is stupid. I mean this defines stupid. There is no argument (none that are reasonable) that puts Cam on the same planet as Drew.

Stooopid.

How many bits and bytes are being wasted on this thread? End this madness and close this thread right now.

Fer reals.

Stupidity is running rampant.

We should all write to Pete Prisco...he formulated the list. :popcorn:

Re: Cam Newton better than Drew Brees? One website says so
 

Don't forget that Prisco was one of the worst in feeding that bounty fantasy dreamed up by Goodell.

Re: Cam Newton better than Drew Brees? One website says so
 

I seem to remember people in the media bashing him a bit before we played them last year. He looked very average the year before.

And one site says I am the richest man in the world. I know this because after seeing this thread I went to another site and posted a thread entitled "I (The Dude) am the richest man in the world. So see now one site says I am the richest man in the world.
Im still a broke dick sonofa***** though in all reality.

Super Bowls won: Drew 1, Newton - 0. End of discussion.

Just win another Superbowl and I could give a....

This Cam thing just never ends.

Re: Cam Newton better than Drew Brees? One website says so
 

The hand were dealt moulds us...

If Brees has Cam's physical talent, he's probably not the same person...

Brees has just enough physical talent to play the game...

His competiveness is top of the charts...

Brees has the best offensive coaching mind in the game on his side...

cam newton sux goat balls.. **** him...

he cant wear Brees jock

Re: Cam Newton better than Drew Brees? One website says so
 

Cam did take a huge step forward last year in his play. By seasons end I was impressed with accuracy. While not pro bowl stuff he was much better.

Is he Drew? lmao no

What makes a Drew so great is his mental toughness. I am ignoring the play here.

Cam is a marshmallow cry baby that buckles under pressure and gives up. The key to beating Cam is the head game. Get in his face and stay there. You do not need to sack him. Just contain him and knock him around all game. That is it.

He is not man enough to stand in the pocket and take the beating for 60 minutes without a mental melt down. Superbowl proved what I have been saying since he entered the league. Now the world knows cam for the man he is. I would tell my defense do not pull up. hammer him all game long. I want him seeing the sky and picking himself off the turf each and every play. So knock the snot out of him each and every play. take the 15 yarders if you have to, it will pay off in the end. actually game plan them in IMO.

he will take his toys and run home to mommy before the game ends.

He is ego diva with thin skin.

Re: Cam Newton better than Drew Brees? One website says so
 

Cam is getting much better as a QB and he is a freakish athlete. He is not, however, a hall of fame QB. Drew is one of the best to ever play this game. He has done it year in and year out, and he has done it with some really horrible defenses. It is much easier to pass when you have a lead verse the team knowing you're going to throw. When Drew leaves every Saint fan will finally understand what we have had because it is likely we will never have it again

Not even close, with you

Re: Cam Newton better than Drew Brees? One website says so
 

:lolup:

Yeah. Goat Balls!

Re: Cam Newton better than Drew Brees? One website says so
 

Cam won't hold up to the beatings year after year. His style of play will have him off the field early in his career.

Re: Cam Newton better than Drew Brees? One website says so
 

Freudian perhaps. Whatever you are right on about the Prisco article.

Re: Cam Newton better than Drew Brees? One website says so
 

And the most accurate arm in the league.

Re: Cam Newton better than Drew Brees? One website says so
 

Simply put Drew Brees.

Re: Cam Newton better than Drew Brees? One website says so
 

Not to toot my own horn, but I put up this story before the T-P article hit.

Drew Brees is no longer a Top 5 Quarterback?

bloggers are people too.

Re: Cam Newton better than Drew Brees? One website says so
 

You are tooting your own horn, but you made valid points...

I wouldn't have pulled punches with Prisco, he writes to incite which means ratings, media pull...

But New Orleans does get little to no respect...
