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


Recommended Posts

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

    • I get what you’re saying but the reason I think his mentality underscores it all is that he did have legitimately solid and sometimes even good games at the end of last year after his bench, and against some good teams (PHI, Tampa, KC)   but that was only after the season was shot and everyone thought he was done for. then once he had to play a meaningful game on Sunday he crumbled right back to pre bench form. It’s like he’s only able to when it *doesnt* matter  But all just semantics tbh, we both agree that he ain’t it lol
    • I'm still a big Bryce supporter. I don't look much at his rookie year as that only deepened the hole he has to climb out of. I see this past game as the 1st of his 2nd year.  Judge him based off of his play after his benching.  No argument that is play those first two games last year were about as bad as it gets.  No question. This is the start of year 2 for Canales and he was out coaches against the Jags but I like his process and how he goes about things.  I like that he, Morgan and Tillis seem like a unit and on the same path. Saying we never should have drafted him based on his height and weight is a valid opinion but he was a universal top pick in the draft and elite talent coming out.  I have seen little evidence those are still issues.  He is physical enough to take some monster hits and I don't see a limit to his passing due to his height. The lack of arm strength is a tired argument.  He has the physical ability to make all the necessary NFL throws.   Of course he doesn't have the cannon Cam did coming out but he also doesn't have Cams accuracy and throwing with touch issues.  They are different players and Bryce has a ton of work to do just to be in Cams shadow. Bryce IS part of the problem but he isn't the problem.  His play the last half of the season last year was impressive and showed a ton of growth and improvement. Outside of Horn, Nola and Chuba the whole team and staff looked severely off and not ready.   If Dave calls a great game and other players play average NFL level football and Bryce still plays like this that is when we'll actually have as big an issue at QB as the haters believe. The issues are team wide and it's one game. Also, I like Tepper.
    • They aren't credited with drops.   That's just PFF.  Not sure why they are still being pimped this hard when week 1 really highlights how bad they can be at times.  Especially when they manufactured Bryce's grade like they did.  Some 1984 stuff going on there....PFF telling folks not to believe their eyes and ears.
