Tons of guys have thrown for a lot of yards in the NFL. Lets wait till he wins an actual game or 2 before we anoint. He has all the physical tools you could want, but as I've said, he's playing like a rookie.

Yup. As Packer players pointed-out its better to play him now.

Face of the NFL in two years.

Good article.

I guess it's different than years ago, when passing numbers were climbing, and the talking heads loved to bring up that you were more likely to win if you had a 100yd rusher than if your QB had 300yd passing game. It seems now that the 100yd rusher doesn't matter so much either, it's all about having a mistake free QB.

Brandon is still closer to the truth than the deniers, but the kid's value is being lost while we debate who is more internally inconsistent.

Newton is a once a generation talent. Elway. Manning. That kind of thing.

He may never take full advantage of that talent, or even get the chance, but its there. He also seems to have a desire to be great, like an even more friendly Finley.

And to suggest that "anyone" asked to throw the ball alot could do what he has done is obvious non-sense. There have been plenty of teams with a passing game and a bad enough D to produce tons of garbage time yardage. None have done what this kid has done.

There was a list of 500 yards throwers (for Brady's Week 1 performance) and the list was the usual suspects of HoFs and the like. Plus Billy Volek, I think. Billy Volek pops up in a list like this because somewhere along the line, a prefect storm emerges and something truly strange and out of the ordinary happens.

Newton has performed ridiculously for a rookie. To have done it twice likely means it is no fluke.

Actually, the 'plus' isn't Volek, but Vince Ferragamo
Who, Wikipedia tells me, appeared in 3 games for the Packers in '86!

I remember seeing some announcers laughing about Boomer doing it during his stint with Arizona.

I better get a scan. My memory is so bad this week, its like a sympathy concussion for Collins. Though I swear Volek entered the discussion of crazy QB yardages this week sometime. Even if that sentence was "The one QB you won't see on this list of passing accomplishments is Billy Volek..."

Ferragamo nearly led the Rams to a Super Bowl victory in 79 (and beat Dallas en route, my favorite part) but was ultimately unable to play better than the Steelers passing game, which eventually had its way with the Rams defense. At least, I think that was what happened ....

No, no, you got it all wrong. It was Mark Brunell with the Jacksonville Jaguars! Geez, you're going to end up in a home with Cleft if you get any worse!
