Simple solution for all of Cam Newton's faults if we draft him...

Future of the Funchise

That could work, but I think it would be more likely that the Redskins cut McNabb we pick him up as a mentor for Newton.

First off, forget the offensive coordinator from the Eagles, Marty isnt that good, if you want Newton SO bad, get McNabb to start for a year.

Vick = sub 4.4 speed

Newton = Not going to be bowling over people in the NFL

I don't see all the similarities others are seeing. Yes they are both mobile QBs. But Newton is a much bigger guy and not nearly as fast. His ability to run in college is what makes him such a special player. I'm not sure he would be quite as effective on the NFL level carrying the ball.

He's a more mobile Big Ben IMO. McNabb can teach him how to be a great passer even if he's not at the top of his game anymore.

I dunno how someone as crappy as McNabb is gonna mentor anyone.

Similar styles coming out of college, McNabb could help him to be a better pocket passer, help him get used to the speed of the game, etc...

If Hurney/Richardson are stupid enough to draft Newton at #1 overall, I think it would be time for me to move on to a new team.

K. Well if they go that route, bye.

I think Big Ben is a much better comparison. But Vick.. come on. Newton is a very risky pick IMO and we have to get something that is a sure deal with that pick. We are pretty much starting from scratch and Luck would have been just what the Dr Ordered. But I'm not exactly thrilled with any other QB prospect that high in the draft. Desperation rarely pays off. Keep in mind. Its not like Newton has been doing this for years..

nobody we draft is a sure fire slam dunk, not even luck, i still don't see luck as the best qb in recent memory like many do but would have taken him number 1 , newton might be the best risk/reward player of the two with his elite athletic gifts. he's a better passer than either vick or young were at this point in their careers & has similar elusiveness they have

      Not sure who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"

      I mean not surprised the Patriots took him in and aren't trying to push him out. They've been the most morally bankrupt team in the NFL for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel has his own dirt on Kraft/Brady and other assholes from that organization over the last couple decades.
