Wait... the 26 yr old concussion prone QB is going to play 10 more years? And his weapons and team around him don't contribute to him being a great player right? We're talking about the same guy right?
Your building a franchise you want youth, somebody who you feel you can build a team around. You don't get the Panthers WR's and line with Cam Newton, and you don't get the Packers weapons and line with Aaron Rodgers. If I pick ONE player, homer or not it is Cam because he has everything that you can need and want out of a QB to help build your team around for the next 10-15 years. He really isn't even as raw as people say, I watch every game, he makes a lot of throws that leave the announcers and people shocked, and makes bad decisions too. You can work with that. With the right coaching Cam will be superb and have an incredible career. Let me stress "With the right coaching"
