I am just not a believer that a Super Bowl victory makes a QB great. There have been very few, if any, Super Bowl winning QB's that had little support around them. Carolina is a great example. Did Cam Newton get astronomically better in one off season or did the Panther team get really good??? That team is deep.....talented and aggressive. They put their players in position to be successful. Kurt Coleman is an average NFL safety......ask him to cover or be a box safety and he would be terrible. But they don't ask him to do that much. He's a terrific ball hawk that is really good at reading a QB......so what does Carolina ask him to do????? Exactly that.
I absolutely love the way the Panthers use Newton. Yep, he's gonna get hit. Yep, it may lead to an injury one day. Most teams would have asked him not to run nearly as much and not to take hits at all if possible.......but that takes away a big part of what makes him so good! It's the main reason RGIII seems to have busted. In the NFL...he's way too small to run like he should be running.....which leaves him as being a pocket passer......and he's not a good one.
