Here's who Cam Newton thinks is the greatest dual-threat QB of all-time

Cam Newton is undoubtedly one of the greatest dual-threat quarterbacks in the history of the NFL. But is he the greatest?

Well, he doesn’t believe so.

The Carolina Panthers great ran down that topic off of a recent episode of his YouTube show 4th & 1 with Cam Newton. That discussion emanated from a fan question, one that asked if he sees himself as the best dual-threat quarterback ever.

“No,” he quickly replied. “Lamar Jackson.”

Co-host Omari “Peggy” Collins then asked Newton to explain.

“Well, Lamar’s style is a little different than mine,” Newton stated. “He got big play, any play. He got speed that I never had. And he’s just electric. And then, I played the game more powerful. I can run . . . but I’ma probably get caught. [Michael] Vick, Lamar—they ain’t gettin’ caught.”

Now a two-time Most Valuable Player, Jackson is the only quarterback in league history with multiple 1,000-yard rushing seasons. He also became the first player, back in that first MVP campaign from 2019, to amass 3,000 passing yards and 1,000 rushing yards in a single season.

Newton ain’t too shabby either. The 2015 MVP holds the all-time record for the most rushing touchdowns by a quarterback (75), is the only quarterback to lead a franchise in career rushing touchdowns (63) and remains the third-leading rusher (5,036 yards) in Panthers history.
