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

    • That was always the fear, expectation, concern, etc, I had.  Someone showed a still shot from his pick last game and said it showed that the defender closed 3 yards on that ball in the last portion of its flight. I forget the number. 10 yards I think it said but that sounds extreme.  When guys are open by a step, any slowing down to wait for the ball lets the defender back into the play. That sort of stuff makes the margins so small… these NFL CBs are not slow.   It is a league that highly values foot speed; the 40 times and drill times are scrutinized down to the hundredth of a second when evaluating these players on both sides of the passing game. Receivers and defenders both.   My thing with his arm strength (or anyone’s) was always “why do you want to do that? Plus pay extra picks to put yourself in that situation?”. Asking for trouble.     I wish there was a way to measure velocity on the back half of a throw compared to when it left the hand. Or really get accurate reading of the flight time of a ball from the near hash to the sideline, 10 yards down the field. Because teams could use that info. I have always seen this as being a disadvantage with Bryce but it is beyond my ability to quantify it.   I think it would show what that arm strength is really about, a lot more than just measuring how much air can you put under it so it will fly as far as possible.   
    • Who didn't see that coming.... 
    • Its a detriment if he can't play...as we are seeing.
