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

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
