Quote:You know, so much has been made of how bad Bortles has been this year, which he has, but has anyone looked at Cam's stats? I did today and was shocked! He has been god awful! To a magnitude even Bortles hasn't matched. Why isn't Cam getting thrashed the way Bortles is?

 

For one he did lead his team to a 15-1 record and all the way to the Super Bowl, although he did get exposed by a really good defense, but he still had an incredible season.

 

He also got voted MVP last season, which just confirms he had a great year.

 

He was also offensive rookie of the year, and has been voted to 3 Pro Bowls, although going to the Pro Bowl doesn't mean as much as it used to with all the QBs that get voted in and don't attend.

 

Plus, the fans do seem to love him in Carolina.

 

He also won a national Championship in college, not that it matters much in the NFL, but he still won it as a college QB.

 

You are correct though, Newton has been pretty bad this year, but maybe possible bashers are just figuring it's just a bad year and will wait to see what happens next year.

 

Also, people just like to bash Jacksonville more then most other NFL cities, plus Bortles rightfully deserves his criticizing this year, he's been awful.

 

Those are a few reasons why Cam isn't getting bashed like Bortles.
