He is? I must have missed that.
Well, they did have one of the best RBs in the history of the game. And come on man, Red Rifle.
It happens now and then. Plus, before this season everyone was saying Dalton was at or below Matt's level.

Couple years ago people were also convinced that Newton couldn't hold Stafford's jock.

not many...certainly not me!
Of course not!!!! lol
so you honestly think Stafford is a better QB than Cam?
Not this year, but he's been better his whole career so far. Newton has been a joke of a QB for the last few years up until this year.
I was in piling on mode with that comment (about holding his jock). To be perfectly honest I have always had Stafford and Cam in that same "tier" of QBs...right in the middle of the pack, giving Cam the slight edge because of his running ability. But what he is doing this year...with the offensive players he has at his disposal...unbelievable!
And Newton's been a joke for years. Now all you clowns have his nuts resting on your chins. You're all full of shit....
What fell faster? Nkemdiche...or his draft position?
Too soon???
Wtf happened to that guy?

Newton's been a joke for years eh? Has a better career QBR than your guy. Whoops. Must mean our guy is a punch line.
It's passer rating that matters. The QBR, the relatively new one, stinks. And inaccurate.
While I don't fully understand the new QBR it attempts to take into consideration more factors than the traditional QB rating. Things like when the passes are thrown, sacks, RAC, etc. I don't know if they take into consideration running...but I don't think they do.
My guess...it is probably a better indicator of what a QB is actually doing to help his team win but I really don't know. I haven't been able to really look at it in detail.
As far as traditional QB rating over their careers.
Cam 87.4
Staff 84.6
Pretty close with a slight edge to Cam
Rushing is why Cam is a better QB IMO
Cam (75 games) 3051 yards, 5.3 YPC, 40 TDs
Stafford (90 games) 624 yards, 3.3 YPC, 12 TDs
