Super Bowl 50: Peyton Manning vs Cam Newton

Peyton Manning vs Cam Newton 

Peyton Manning Versus Cam Newton

by Da`Vince “Dino” Wright

We can easily say that Peyton Manning is one of the greatest quarterbacks to ever play. He`s a 4 time NFL MVP and hes the record holder of many records for quarterbacks. Cam Newton on the other hand is the young brash undisputed leader of the new wave of NFL QB`s that`s taking over the league. Let`s take at look at the differences between the two.

#18 Peyton Manning, 6`5”, 230 pounds in his 18th season from Tennessee

Career numbers 266 games played, games started 265. Passes completed 6125 on 9380 attempts with a completion rating of 65.3%. He has 71940 passing yards and 539 touchdowns. He was MVP in 2003, 2004, 2006, and 2008. He was Super Bowl MVP in 2006. Pro Football Hall of Fame 2nd team All 2000 team in 2013. He played in the pro Bowl 14 times and made All Pro 7 times. We can go on and on about the accomplishments of Peyton Manning but what counts now is today not yesterday. Can Manning go out on top by winning Super Bowl 50 against the Panthers or will he show his mediocre skills under center. You have a lot of Manning waiting for “The Sheriff” to take Carolina`s “Superman” to the woodshed.

#1 Cameron Newton, 6’6”, 260 pounds in his 5th season from Auburn

Career numbers: 78 games played and 78 games started. Passes completed 1440 on 2419 attempts with a 59.7% completion rating. He has a total of 18263 with 117 touchdowns recorded. In 5 years he has rushed for 3207 yards on 599 carries. 43 rushing touchdowns with a 72 yard carry in 2012. Cam will rewrite the history books in his time. Cam has issued in the new wave of quarterbacks and theres no stopping “The Prototype!”

Super Bowl 50 will display a bit of the old and new, something borrowed and something blue (or teal). I can`t wait until February 7th showdown between these two guys. Take your pick it`s eith Peyton or Cam!
