Cam Newton and Jameis Winston are training with quarterback guru George Whitfield Jr. out in California this offseason.

Whitfield is known as a quarterback whisperer of sorts and is one of the most sought after coaches not directly involved with an NFL franchise.

The photo has drummed up rumors that Newton has taken Winston under his arm and is mentoring him prior to the beginning of his NFL career.

The relationship is an interesting one, with Winston likely being the number one pick, as Newton was, and both quarterbacks having character issues coming out of college.

Like Winston, Newton was accused of stealing during his time at his university, but his other wrongdoings were never more than accusations of taking illegal benefits while being a “scholar-athlete.”

 

 

For what it's worth...

What I take from this is happiness that Cam is spending some time with Whitfield Jr. this offseason! He is an excellent QB coach and really helped Cam before the draft

 

I think Cam knows Winston will probably be playing for Tampa next year and is getting us some early scouting material...

Please God no....

Cam, you don't need to hang around guys like Jamis...or Al Sharpton. Bad for your image man!

Yeah because a guy who was studying to be a doctor and got accepted to Stanford is a terrible guy to pick their football brains. I'm glad. Hopefully cam is learning as much from jameis as jameis is learning from cam.

i actually think this is a pretty cool thing for cam to do. he's dealt with a lot of the stuff winston's going to deal with and he'll be able to offer advice to help him keep his head straight on the field and off.

 

unless he gets drafted by the bucs, in which case i hope cam gets him to snort a line on a stripper's ass and takes a picture and sends it to gordell

    • Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?
    • I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
