I said when it was announced we were doing the Senior Bowl that I wanted to draft Newman regardless, and that still stands.  I dont care who we get this offseason, vet or no vet (I still want Watson), but I definitely want to draft Newman.  I'm not as locked in on college football as some, but I watch quite a bit and feel like I know talent when I see it, and I saw Newman a few times at Wake Forest and was legit amazed, and surprised he wasn't talked about more.  Then I kind of lost track of him and then looked him up last year and saw he transferred to Georgia and sat out, so that all seemed kind of weird, but dude is legit.  I think he could be Dak or Russ all over again.

Deacon fan here (obviously by the avatar) and of course, I loved Newman. Great arm, good touch on the deep ball, good decision making when it comes to run vs. pass in Wake's very unique RPO style offense.

My only knock on Jamie most of the time was trying to do too much. Many would argue that's because he didn't have a lot of weapons around him but I don't agree with that. Much like Newman, Sage Surratt is going to be a 2nd/3rd round pick more than likely and that was his #1 target.

I think Newman has the tools to be a good NFL QB if he can reign in some of his questionable throws. In terms of physical size and measurables, they are all there.

I did see a really good analysis of him from a mechanics standpoint, and quite often, his footwork was a problem.... his feel for the pocket, stride, angles, etc. 

I'm sure others have pointed out already, but Newman does seem to compare similarly to Cam, and has some of the same pain points as Cam had coming in.

That's it. He's a scrub. 

There has never, EVER been a QB to throw back to back interceptions in practice.  We should stay away from this guy as best as possible.  (sarcasm)

I don't know much about this guy but they say he has all the tools and is mobile.  The biggest attribute I would lean on is he's very smart.   If you have a guy that is smart it means he can learn from his mistakes.

Every QB in this draft, outside of Lawrence, has question marks.  If Newman were to fall to us in round 2 or possibly 3.  It would be worth a shot.

That said, if we were to draft Newman I do not see us getting rid of Bridgewater until 2022.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
