Cam is being talked about more than Russell right now because, well it's Super Bowl week and Cam is playing in it. It's called a story line. It helps that he is also the NFL MVP and just had a historic season and dominate NFC Championship game.
The media rides the most recent thing they saw. So, the most recent thing they've seen is a Panthers team led by Cam Newton that dominated Seattle for 30 minutes before taking the 2nd half off, and then completely destroy a Cardinals team that was considered at least the second best team in the NFL.
So there you have it. No need to compare Cam to Kaepernick. Anyone that actually watches football and isn't just a fanboy can see Cam is lightyears ahead of Kaep in reading defenses and playing from the pocket.
This offseason there will be plenty of discussion of top QBs and Russell Wilson's name will be near the top of the list. There is still one more game to promote, so that's why you aren't hearing it now.
Your definitely not wrong. Espeacially about the Kaep comparison but really no one here is comparing Cam to Kaep, just the hype he got for good year. Jaws proclaimed he would be the greatest QB of all time.
I'm sure to those who are just checking in we probably appear over sensitive but if you had been along for the entire ride you would understand.
Wilson just threw 3 TD's in the probowl and was named offensive MVP but he did it in less time his rookie year (threw 3 td's in a quarter of play) and still didn't win it. Back then the NFL world was busy selling Luck and RG3, either of which given the same performance would have won MVP hands down.
It's been a very long road for Wilson to get the accolades he is getting now which are the same acolades Luck got before he entered the NFL and miltiple QB's have gotten from a single season's performance.
It probably comes off as slamming Cam but really it is looking at the whole body of work instead of just one year.
