PREACH

Yeah the Bears are finally seemingly building something!

W comment

all of Acho's takes have been nuts, his opinion should hold no weight anymore lol

Agreed! I'm hoping Dan Jones gets a good year of having competent receivers before he leaves New York. We made a video last year defending Daniel Jones as well actually, I'd recommend it if I was any good at editing back then lol

lol I'm sure that was your best football day ever. but would Peyton, Eli manning, phillip rivers, tom brady have dove under demarcus ware for a fumble? I don't blame QBs for avoiding hits

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

thanks! and very much agreed

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

@@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.

I'm rooting hard as I can for Lamar and Josh Allen to have long healthy careers, it sucked seeing Cam just go down with injury and then all the haters hop on and say he was never good. and thanks man, appreciate the support!

@@DraftingUnicorns I agree

Disagree- I've learned in psych that enjoying activities stimulates the brain and helps it pay attention. I'll reference some sources I find credible. I don't think there's any debate about this among researchers www.google.com/search?channel=ftr&q=psychology+study+does+fun+improve+performance www.psychologicalscience.org/news/minds-business/playing-up-the-benefits-of-play-at-work.html scholarworks.umass.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1096&context=gradconf_hospitality

why isn't Cam good then?

Thanks, I am working on my recording ability (I think it's more my recording skill than my mic, this one came out worse than others). 1.25 is the move to watch videos that's often what I do too. I was recovering from the flu when recording so I'm hoping I naturally improve the speaking speed and quality

I agree on the mic upgrade but I think the talking speed is fine. People can speed up videos to suit their preferences. Telling someone to talk faster increases the chances of mistakes unlike doing the reverse.

It was a fun 1 season when he was good

Benjamin was good, he was just lazy and liked that southern food too much.

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.

#JA17 had Stefon Diggs, Gabe Davis who pumped up his numbers more than Benjamin could help Cam

hell yeah

thanks man, glad to hear that

100% agreed. here is your 'knows ball' sticker

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)

@@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.

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

@@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

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

Kendrick Perkins level take 💀💀

for 1 season he was GOAT tier, the rest of his prime he was still all time great. Especially being top 5 all time running QB

@@DraftingUnicorns How many "running QB's" win a SB??? That is like being the SMARTEST kid with autism... just ask Lamar!

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

@@DraftingUnicorns You make a solid point and I am willing to admit my taste for Cam Newton was tainted by his personal choices.

Yes sir

yes! refs seemed to legit hate Cam

hell ya

thanks for watching man

There are players in the HOF with much less

thanks! much appreciated

Update

How

So was your mom

@@wyodrifter5539 Stay safe on the internet.

@@johnhatchel9681Stay dumb on the internet lol

I really think most people view him as less than who he was. His running ability was so so stupid elite and his explosive downfield throws were just like Josh Allen

Two things can be true at the same time, or do they not teach that in the NAACP? Cam was probably the greatest Carolina quarterback of all time. Also...Carolina has never had elite talent at the QB position.

waltuh, you're spot on

It's crazy to me how many people don't see that! respect for seeing through a fan bias to have a smart take

lmao love this comment. Every detail of why Staley fails must be very clear to someone who watches every Chiefs game

@DraftingUnicorns the guy was a buffoon,he would go for it on every 4th Down whether he was up or down it was so stupid, a lot of those games were close and he was the reason for those losses almost exclusively

this guy knows ball ^

I have a feeling you guys are going to draft Marvin Harrison Jr, I think the whole divisions getting better but I did think that 3 years ago also LOL I think Pat's only lost four times in the division in 6 years smh

I expect some playoff wins at least- they're still stuck behind the Chiefs in their division, but over the next few years I think they should be a consistent deep playoff threat

He is a GREAT receiving back- but does not fit in the role of a heavy usage in between the tackles runner. He's small and elusive versus a powerful back- nothing at all wrong with that, Ekeler is awesome. but as a whole, the run game needs the other type of back as well

No thanks in part of him either though, that was obviously Shane Steichen's hand
