Career wise, yes. But Cam Newton's 1 dominant season proves he was better. Plus the fact that he's actually a good NFL quarterback as well. As much as people like to joke on Newton for being a head case (for reasons I've yet to figure out), Young was a true definition of a head case.

I don't disagree with Young being a head case, but Newtons hate is well deserved because the dude is a bitch. Good NFL QB is a stretch, he's middle of the pack to me. He had a great start to his rookie season, and the second half was mediocre.
I called him having a sophomore slump, and I'd say he did. He also has less than or exactly at 60% completion for both seasons. His threat as a runner is what makes him dangerous, and defenses caught up to that. 19 tds 12 INTs/ 21 tds 17 INTs in his 2 seasons. Gimmick bullshite only works for so long in the NFL, the consistent quarterbacks are passers, Newton isn't that.

Lets also take into account that he hasn't been a winner in the NFL, and he doesn't know how to handle losing. He's been spoiled with being the best in college and never having anyone to stop him. Go Cam, you look really cool doing the Superman move, as you're down by 30 points.

This is my favorite part of an argument or discussion. What exactly has Cam Newton done to be called a bitch? Have you met him? I see you're a New Orleans Saints fan and I'll go ahead and assume you're an LSU Tigers fan as well. Hmm, maybe, just maybe, I see why you're calling him a bitch. Kind of weird considering all of his teammates at Auburn and in Carolina love him.

Yeah, who would've thought that a Rookie quarterback would tail off towards the end of a stellar year. Don't forget to mention that he had a shoulder injury, too.

First half of the season, absolutely. But go ahead and look at his stats and team record from the last 6-7 games. He finished the season on a tear.

Yeah, OK.

What the frick about him is "gimmick"? His running ability?

fricking awesome.

Let's go ahead and take into account that he was drafted by a fricking 2-14 team. Go ahead and take into account that that team has also improved every year under Cam Newton. They even beat the New Orleans Saints twice last season, and the Atlanta Falcons once (should've been both time if the safety didn't derp on the deep ball).
