January 25, 201610 yr Many people, including us GMs on BGP, were wrong about Cam. Many wouldn't take him. Some said they'd take Locker and Ponder: http://bluegrasspreps.com/national-football-league/cam-newton-216880.html Some said he was a bust: http://bluegrasspreps.com/national-football-league/cam-newton-bust-245313.html
January 25, 201610 yr Author For the record, I was wrong on Cam. I never thought he'd rise to this level. Never.
January 25, 201610 yr I was wrong as well. He's been pretty freakin good. PP92 was spot on. Dude's a winner. (PP92 and Cam:lol2:)

Cam has completely won me over during the last 2 seasons. I think he's just scratching the surface of what he can do, with experience he'll get more consistency and will continue to tear it up.
January 25, 201610 yr For the record, I was wrong on Cam. I never thought he'd rise to this level. Never.Same here I was wrong as well. He's been pretty freakin good.hate to agree with you, but yes he has.
January 25, 201610 yr I love reading the retweets from people 3-4 years ago like Bayless and Priscoe and how wrong they were. Love reading articles written from 3-4 years ago with people saying they'd do crazy things if...doubt many follow through.
January 25, 201610 yr Let's give the guy a little more time. Glad that was my comment in the Bust Thread lol.
January 25, 201610 yr I always felt he would be ok and have a pretty good career. I never thought he'd be this good, no great. He has a set of skills that I don't think any one has ever had. Cunningham is the closest and maybe Young. They were not as big a threat running, he is every bit as good a passer as them. He is very very difficult to defend because of his skills. You have to keep him contained and get him up the middle. Kudos to the guy. He has worked his butt off to get to this level.

January 25, 201610 yr I still remember calling him "Scam Newton" when I drafted him in Fantasy Football a few years ago. I'm glad he is succeeding now. And doing it with style. Dab on em, Cam.
January 25, 201610 yr Do not, I repeat, do not leave the TV with the Panthers on offense in the Super Bowl. Watching Cam against Ware and Miller and the rest of the Broncos DL will be something special to see.
January 25, 201610 yr To be fair, he had a checkered past in college, both on and off the field. We all knew he had great size but questioned if his arm was accurate enough and whether he could stay out of trouble once he had some cash in his account (besides what his daddy got from AU). :sssh:

I'd say that's a far cry from having a "checkered" past.
January 25, 201610 yr Sweet I couldnt remember what I said about him. So I was a little worried looking back. So I am glad to see I was one of the ones defending him and saying he was better than people said. Now I do admit I didn't think he would end up as great as he has though.
