The Lefkoe Show Bleacher Report

My football IQ improved dramatically this season after I found the L-E-F-K-O-E MAN!!

Lefko is the best, he’s just so real/hilarious and I love that he is just like us and is a true fan boy inside. But brings the fire each and every episode! Warren is one of the the smartest sports guys in the world. Westbrook brings the player perspective and fits right in!

Cam Newton Stan here. In both main topics he kinda came up a bit but more as a side note. I’d love to hear your thoughts on his career to this point. Cam was not included in that list with Russell, McNabb, McNair, Moon, Vick etc but I think he deserves to be. Shout out to Westbrook for the Cam > Eli at their prime comment, however both of you instantly dismissed Cam as a potential HOFer. If we are seeing the end now, I fear you may be right, but give him a few more years and I think he’s got a chance.

When talking about Russell Wilson y’all talked about run first mentality of the team and pass volume, which is something I feel like people never take into account when discussing Cam. They either discount the rush yards or don’t take pass volume into account when talking about him as a passer. They see less than 4K yards/season and label him mediocre/inaccurate.

Due to similar injuries, being back to back #1 picks and Luck deciding to go back to Stanford to avoid the Panthers, Cam and Luck will always be compared to each other and the national media seems to view Luck as the better QB, but I’d argue Cam has had a better career if it ended today (and I sure hope it doesn’t). And even as a passer Cam has been just as efficient as Luck, but Luck had a higher volume (bc Panthers run more) in their careers Luck has had 38.3 pass att/gm compared to Cam’s 31.6. Luck’s career comp % is a bit higher 60.8% Vs 59.7% but Cam’s YPA is 7.3 to Luck’s 7.2. So efficiency and accuracy-wise they are about equal.

I love my Panthers, but I fear they squandered Cam’s prime with awful offensive lines, lack of weapons (for most of his career) and poor offensive coaching. Well, there is my rant. I’d love to hear more about my man Cam since it doesn’t look like I’ll be seeing him on Sunday.
