Guy who would be a great QB coach for Cam

Yeah, another QB that didn't succeed in the NFL teaching an MVP QB how to QB.  Sounds like a plan for success.

I don't remember who it was, some old school coach said the best coaches weren't the best players, they were the shitty players who tried like hell to get better.

I never understood that myself.  My only conclusion is that they just really want to coach and there is just not a lot of HOF QBs standing in line to be a coach.  I'm pretty sure it applies to other positions as well.  That's my theory anyway.

Just makes you wonder....

They may not be HOF material, but they may have a lot of NFL experience. For some reason Matt Hasselbeck immediately comes to mind. Jon Kitna, etc. Vets who have all kinds of experience on all kinds of teams facing all kinds of opponents. They could def tell you the do's and don'ts. I feel like even more so the donts.

That may be true but those two (Weinke and Dorsey) ain't one of them.

It's often true.

Great players tend to be super talented and frequently fail to understand that everybody else may not be.

The last time Chris Weinke coached up Cam, he set the rookie passing yards record.  He also passed for more yards than he has since and had his second best completion percentage of his career.

That's not entirely true.  Pre draft training workouts do not equal being coached up while on the team.

Weinke taught him the mechanics  - yes or no ?

No.  He worked with him in the off-season once or twice.  Not the same.

You are wrong. I dug up a couple of old articles for you to look at.

Lol...so you are going to tell me that THE Chris Weinke made Cam Newton?  Child please.

As the President of the Chris Weinke fan club I approve this thread!

You're the one who said he only worked with Weinke a time or two -  I showed you that you are wrong.   As I remember it,  Cam was there for at least a couple of weeks and Weinke worked on mechanics and also helped him understand the playbook .  And yes he cleaned up or attempted to, some of Cam's bad habits - something that Dorsey and Shula apparently had little success with because he has not had the success of that initial year in the last two years.

My vote is Brett Favre. Call him up!

[Raskle]

I wouldn't mind Kitna... that dude made up for his very average talent with hard work and solid mechanics. Something that can be taught, and Cam might very well listen to.

 

However, my first choice would be this guy:

 

Wait.. wrong Wade Wilson...

 

THIS guy!!!

 

(Just say no to Weinke! Kids, kids.. Weinke's are bad.. mmkay?!)
