Cam Newton has garbage written all over him

Read the title. He is not worth the #1 overall. Not even top 5. He would just be another 'project' with 'upside'. Run 1st/ Pass 2nd mentality. He has only played 12 games at Auburn, has never taken a snap under center. He is not use to making the necessary reads to become a passing threat. I'm sorry but I'm not about to take an inexperienced Jamarcus Russell/Vince Young.

Not worth it. I would say trade down but there is absolutely no value at #1 overall since Luck is gone. If you can trade down and grab AJ Green or Peterson (or some other player who can make an impact) then do it. Make a splash in FA. Add a vet at QB to mentor our guys along. And if our players come back healthy (especially Otah) then we should have a decent season next year.

*Sigh* Not that I don't agree, but I can see this is going to go on forever till draft day.

We're going to be going in circles for months. I hope we can start talking about something else cause this is getting stale quick. The fact is, the draft is so far away, our FO is made up of a bunch of loonatics and in the end we have no freaking clue who we are getting anyway, and by the time this season starts, if there's even a season.....we'll probably look back and realize how much time we wasted talking about things that never even had a prayer in hell of actually happening.

I think I'm just going to put on my back-up team jersey and enjoy life until we get closer to the draft and training camp. Go Patriots!

Damn I don't get why people keep comparing him to JaMarcus Russell. Russell was a slow, fat, pocket-passer. Does that sound like Cam Newton?

And if you listen to Newton talk, it's obvious that he's ten times smarter than Russell too. Sure, he would be a risk at #1 overall, but to call him garbage is just pure ignorance. The kid seems to love football, which can go a loooong ways towards success in the NFL.

I can't tell if you're being serious or not.

Hell yeah I'm serious. JeMarcus Russell is a dumbass...and he was the consensus #1 overall pick. I would take Cam Newton over him in any draft.

Well obviously now it's easy to say that. But if you believe Newton is any smarter than Jawalrus I really don't know what to tell you.

no argument here. soon as he was drafted he said something like...

I's gonna go eat a dozen eggs, pound o bacon, etc.

that's dumb as hell if you want to make a career being an athlete.

      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.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      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.
