There is a reason Herm is on TV and no longer coaching. Newton over Freeman? Hilarious!!!!!! Maybe he likes that celebration thing Cammy does, while forgetting to look at the scoreboard.

Amen Miguel, post of the year from you!

I make it a point to not say that a QB can’t play before we play them, because I don’t want them to turn around and burn us and make me look stupid. Cam is much flashier than Josh, and he came into the league much more well known. He has his stupid little Superman dance (which looks absolutely ridiculous, plus Superman is so played out by now). If you talk about raw talent, he is probably much more talented than Josh because of his running ability and size (he’s probably more talented than any QB in that regard). However, raw talent means jack crap in the grand scheme of things. Was Joe Montana and Jerry Rice the most talented players of all time? Not even close. Time will tell who ends up being better (both of their careers are still in their infancy), but I will take my chances with Freeman from what I’ve seen so far.

GTFOH Herm! I don’t see how any rational person could pick Cam over Freeman. Herm’s ability to evaluate talent has always been questionable. That is why he is working for ESPN and not an NFL team.

There is more to a QB’s effectiveness than wins and losses. It is a big indicator as Cam was only 4-10 last season in games NOT against the NFL’s JV Buccaneers. What sellls me on Freeman over Newton is attitude. Newton’s true colors are only starting to come out. He is a talented athleted, a decent QB, but he has a serious problem with his attitude. QBs should be egotistical, but Cam has made everything about him, he pouts, sulks, calls out teammates, etc. His act is only beginning in Carolina and it will soon be wearing thin if he doesn’t change his frontrunning ways.

As for talent… gimme a break! Steve Smith was all-world last season and is still a huge threat this season. His two RBs re very good. Does anybody think that the reason why Stewart and Williams aren’t playing well because teams are taking away Cam’s strengths (running game) and forcing him to beat them with his weaknesses (namely his arm)? Is it possible that the reason the Panthers can’t develop another WR because Cam can’t find him even if he were open? Good QBs make the most of the talent around them. The Panthers have talent in every place the Bucs do, and perhaps even better… except one area, QB. The Bucs have a level-headed team player, the Panthers have a me-first immature frontrunner.

Even when the Bucs were terrible last season, Freeman didn’t let it get him down and he went out there and did his best…. in 2010 he led his team to numerous comebacks… last season the Panthers were 6-10 and lost several games in the 4th quarter… where were Newton’s comebacks? Advantage, Freeman, in a big way.

I can’t believe I agree with Skip Bayless.. What is wrong with this picture?

I asked, as a lot of people did back before the year, who is Josh Freeman? As Josh Goes, so goes this team. 13 TDs, 0 Ints (albeit two should have been picked Sunday) over the last 4 games

Hmmm! Lets see………………
Josh is 5-4, 155 comp out of 273 attempts (56.8%) for 2257 yds, 18 tds and 5 ints.
Scam is 2-7, 155 out of 271 attempts (57.2%) for 2143 yds, 8 tds and 10 ints.
Thier stats are similar, except for the most important ones WINS and TDs to INTs! Logic tells me who I would pick, even if I wasn’t a fan of the Bucs!

Some people predicted Scam Newton to be league MVP but now the wheels are coming off. No one predicted a sophomore slump. But these same people said the same thing about Freeman last year.
