Cam Newton Workout Phenomenal

I don't care about his troubles when he was 19. Lord knows I did some stupid poo at that age. These are football players, not saints.

It seems to me he has matured. Leading an sec team to a national championship proves that. He has the grit to get it done in the NFL.

My only concerns are his ability to read defenses, and more importantly, the panthers ability to teach him to. Rivera will be judged quickly on how his staff can develop a QB. Coming from a spread offense, no progressions, just either throw or run.... I can see him struggling if forced to start the next season.

That's why we need to get out of this mentality of "he has to start right away to be worth the pick". It's pretty much guaranteed that even a polished QB like Luck or Jimmy Clausen (and yes, he was considered to be pretty polished by most observers) is going to struggle as a rookie and that he will be a 2-3 year project. Why not let the guy learn at his own pace so you have a better chance of him having a great future instead of flaming out after 2 years like so many "NFL ready" QB's have.

I have a lot of reservations about how quickly Cam will adjust to the NFL (if he ever will) because of not being required to read defenses, make progressions, etc. in the Auburn offense.

However, if Rivera and team think he is the guy.....then I will support him whole heartedly.

Because.....I am just a fan who knows DICK about evaluating how talent will translate to the NFL.
