Where Newton is severely lacking, of course, is championships, still stuck on zero. If he can finish out the 2020 season for the Patriots, he'll match Young and Broadway Joe Namath among Hall of Famers with just nine seasons as a starting quarterback in the league. With eight years as a team's primary starting quarterback, Newton has matched the low-water mark of Hall of Famers Staubach and Kurt Warner.

His three Pro Bowl berths in eight years as a starter aren't great, but it does match Hall of Famer Terry Bradshaw's total. Newton already has one First Team All-Pro to his credit – more than Hall of Famers John Elway, Roger Staubach, Warren Moon and Troy Aikman, as well as upcoming candidates Ben Roethlisberger, Philip Rivers and Eli Manning.

The Hall of Fame monitor weighs a variety of factors in determining whether a player is Canton-worthy or not, including championships won, First Team All-Pro nods and Pro Bowl berths. Using Pro Football Reference’s excellent Hall of Fame monitor, you can see that while Newton's candidacy is still dicey, it's not completely pie in the sky, either. If Newton holds up, it’ll be a match which could propel him

Raul Martinez chats with 3-time Super Bowl champion Ted Johnson about the Patriots' decision to sign Cam Newton and how that affects the team going forward. “Honestly, a match made in heaven for me,” Newton told WEEI’s Greg Hill of his situation in New England earlier this week. He sat around until the end of June before latching on with the Patriots as several teams – including New England, at least initially – said thanks, but no thanks, to his services. Newton was unceremoniously released by Carolina, the only franchise he’d ever known, a week into free agency in March. Newton should be no worse than the second-most motivated player in the NFL this season – after perhaps Brady himself. Imagine a scenario in which Newton brings the Patriots to similar heights post-Brady. Young won his first of two league MVP awards that season, inġ992, and was named First Team All-Pro at quarterback for the first of threeĬonsecutive seasons, which culminated in the 49ers winning Super Bowl XXIX

But get this: at just 31 years old, he’s the exact same age as Young was during his first full season as Montana’s replacement in San Francisco. Newton isn’t a surefire Hall of Famer yet, mind you. Patriots fans are looking ahead to the post-Brady era.
