The Patriots would not of won today with last year's starter. Yet there are people who think that, that are trashing Mac Jones. Get that out of your head because it's nonsense and come back to reality. What you do on Madden is not what Cam is capable of in real life, if Madden were real, Brady would have several 1,000 yard rushing seasons to go with his passing stats.
Don't believe me, let's compare the two since Cam got signed.
Newton over his last 6 games:
54.8 comp percentage of 126 attempts
684 yards
4 passing touchdowns
5 interceptions
10 sacks (-83 yards)
4 fumbles
1 fumble loss
46 carries
225 yards
5 touchdowns
Team TDs:12
Team PTs: 106
Unlike Cam, Mac Jones relies on his running backs to run and score, instead of rushing himself.
Jones over his last 6 games:
67.5 completion percentage of 157 passes
1178 yards
8 touchdown passes
5 interceptions
9 sacks (-90 yards)
2 fumbles
0 lost
20 carries
54 yards
Team TDs: 17
Team PTs: 158
While Newton is a duel threat, Jones moves the ball better. And if Newton was that good, he wouldn't of been benched as many times as he has or of been replaced by Sam Darnold.
I understand they play on two different rosters but a difference of 5 team touchdowns and 52 points are a lot. Newton has also placed the ball in jeopardy a lot more. And Newton has a completion percentage 12 points lower than Mac Jones. The Patriots would not be better with Cam. They might not of even of won 9 games under Cam.
There's a reason why Newton is the 43rd ranked quarterback from what I'm seeing and is why Colts media member, Lawrence Owens said there were "47 quarterbacks better than Cam Newton." Newton is a backup quarterback at this stage of his career while Mac Jones is a freshman starter and the better quarterback. That's not a bad thing for Cam and doesn't mean he's done but it does mean his fans need to come to terms with who Cam Newton is as a player.
