#1 Overall Pick 2011 - Cam Newton (now also 2011 Offensive Rookie Of The Year)

I don't know. I'd have trouble putting him ahead of Russell Wilson. People still seem hung up on Wilson's height for some fucking reason.

 

I'm whatever about one guys rankings but was surprised with the unbiased and relatively accurate article on Cam. He's inaccurate and his accuracy didn't get better as the season went on as some of us really think. He still has quite a few wtf throws.

 

We played a lot of shit teams down the stretch. That's what the strong finish was all about. I think that ranking is pretty reasonable but I'd rather have Russell Wilson. What I'd probably do is put Wilson ahead of Cam and then move Kaepernick back to #5. I don't think people realize how much SF's offense makes him look good. That same is true about Cam here, but Kaepernick has a much better team around him.

 

Tannehill ahead of Bradford, Dalton and Freeman is pretty weird too. I think he should clearly be #10.

 

I like Gregg Rosenthal. He was with Rotoworld forever; not sure if he still is. I think he covers Cam at #4 by calling it "a projection" at the end of the column. He probably does end up having a better career than Wilson, even if only slightly. Tannehill at #7 is a head-scratcher, though, and saying he has the potential to be as good as Luck or RG3 is pretty absurd. I still believe in Bradford, but this is his shit or get off the pot season.

 

I just heard on ESPN that Cam Newton was hit on the highest percentage of dropbacks, with RG3 second most and Russell Wilson 3rd most. Given the three, it seems like mobile guys actually get hit more often.
