Cam Newton Workout Phenomenal

[pstall]

after the 2nd time i saw Cam play i knew he was gonna be awesome.

[Jackofalltrades]

Just remember, JaMarcus Russell also had some great pre-draft work outs.

Again, it really means nothing.

No one said Newton is gonna win the Super Bowl his rookie season, just that he's an obvious upgrade at the QB position for our team. And that passing on a rare talent like him does a lot more harm than good at this point LONG TERM.

KT, they have eyes, but yet they can not see.

guys with all due respect. jamarcus russell was so bad it wasn't funny. cam is a super nova and jam was a kiddie pool. no comp at all

What position has the greatest chance of propelling us to success?

PP at CB?

NF at DT?

CN at QB?

I'm going with the last option.

Jamarcus was a super nova when he was drafted.....

Just a couple of many scouting reports for the Walrus that said he was a sure fire cant miss QB that would be at the pro bowl level quickly....

and once again the only reason you compare the two is because they are the same color.

I'm not the one who even said anything about Russell. Maybe you should just calm down and keep race out of it....

Wait you mean he isn't a fuging genius making intelligent analogies?

If we can't get our defense off the field it doesn't matter how good our personnel is we won't be successful.

The last draft that had three first round QB's with a lot of question the first three QB's taken were Eli Manning, Philip Rivers, and Ben Roethlisberger.

Eli was on pretty solid footing bc he did so well at his workout and had high intangibles. he wasn't rated that high until after those workouts and interviews.

Philip Rivers had serious questions about his mechanics and arm strength (he still throws the ball funky), and Ben Roethlisberger came from a spread offense, played in a weak conference, and never took snaps from under center.

That draft turned out pretty well.

I'm not saying that is how these guys will turn out the same as these three but there are always questions and you never really know how it is going to turn out.

Again the upside is too high IMO.

It's already been said but...

This is a win-win for us. Either Cam will open some eyes in the FO & with the right coaching will get us a great QB, or he'll open some eyes in other FOs & they'll be willing to trade up. Who knows? Maybe someone will fall ass over tea kettle for him & offer us a Walker-like trade.

that's not true, ffs. people compare the two because russell was the most recent superbust. like, huge bust. Not just small bust, not just bust (Carr) or disappointment (Clausen), but astronomically huge mistake.

it has nothing to do with russell's skin color. it's the fact he had "all the measurables," was being billed as super human in potential and he went kaboom once he got in the league.

before russell, leaf was used to illustrate this - and often still is, when the issue is character questions and not "omg he has amazing physical skills how could we go wrong"

People have compared Gabbert to Russell, too. tell me... if both gabbert and newton are being compared to him, why is it only because of skin color?

o.k. Einstein who would you compare Cam Newton to....

Ding ding we have a winner....I've heard the he has all the measurables and a huge arm argument before.....
