Can we get a mini statue/bust of Cam Newton not even making an effort to recover a fumble in the Super Bowl or one of him in the clown attire he'd wear pre-game or pouting in the locker room? So many options.

Cam Newton in no way going to the HOF if he does it’s a travesty to the HOF.

Under 60% comp % far under 2-1 TD to int rate…..

Rushing stats aside he just wasn’t a very good QB when it comes to what a QB is actually supposed to do and thats throw the ball. No SB wins to boot.

He was an MVP — edit: and for what it’s worth I don’t think Cam Newton is necessarily deserving of the Hall of Fame either. He certainly has a better case on the merits than Ben Roethlisberger.

So

There’s an entire list of former NFL MVPs that haven’t made the Hall of Fame. Including many quarterbacks.

  • Ken Anderson (1981 MVP, Cincinnati Bengals)
  • Boomer Esiason (1988 MVP, Cincinnati Bengals)
  • Rich Gannon (2002 MVP, Oakland Raiders) [0.4]
  • Steve McNair (2003 Co-MVP, Tennessee Titans)
  • Shaun Alexander (2005 MVP, Seattle Seahawks)
  • Joe Theismann (1983 MVP, Washington Redskins)
  • Brian Sipe (1980 MVP, Cleveland Browns)
  • Roman Gabriel (1969 MVP, Los Angeles Rams)
  • John Brodie (1970 MVP, San Francisco 49ers)
  • Earl Morrall (1968 MVP, Baltimore Colts)
  • Bert Jones (1976 MVP, Baltimore Colts)
  • Mark Moseley (1982 MVP, Washington Redskins)

He's in the hall of very good. Don't see him ever getting in HoF. If he won the SB, he'd certainly deserve to be part of the conversation, but would still be a bit tough.

He wasn't a bad passer. He was a baller as much as anyone though.

but does it shoe him in first ballot??
T.O. was just an cornholio,...and he had to wait through like 6 attempts...

T.O. not being 1st ballot is a disgrace.

That said, A.D. didn't have the same negativity around him with those that actually vote. No doubts he should be 1st ballot. If they want to punish him like BB, TO, etc, then he'll probably only wait a year.

It's pretty stacked though. Gronk and Sherman most likely will be 1st. Ben has a decent chance and I'd be surprised if he's 1st ballot.

Besides that, I only see Whitworth as a shoe in for HoF.

Mr. Botched Canton was easily a lock once upon a time, but that shirt has been ripped to shreds.

He was not great not terrible. But you can't ignore his rushing and impact on the game, which brings him up quite a few notches. Still well below HoF.

Part of HoF is their story. He certainly has a story during his time. If he dove on that ball and won the game, he'd be cemented in NFL history. Still not HoF...but it's at least a worthy argument. 2015 Panthers would never be forgotten.

I’m not sure why they threw Leveon Bell’s name in there either dude has no shot at the Hall of Fame whatsoever….

Dude was so amazing, but he tanked his career. He could have been HoF. But yeah, no chance now.

Wouldn't be suprised if Gronk, AP, Sherman, and Whitworth all get in first ballot.
