"If scouts saw this they'd have been slobbering," added Dilfer, who called Newton a "dynamic athlete" and "incredibly impressive." Dilfer praised Newton's refinement, accuracy, and arm strength while proclaiming the "sky is the limit." - Dilfer per PFT

“I really didn’t need to see the workout, nor do I need to hear about the workout. …“To me, there are two issues with this kid,” said Mayock. “Issue number one is he came out of a shotgun (offense), and if you watch the tape it’s basically a very simple offense. … And secondly, most importantly, when you get to a certain skill level in the NFL, which this kid certainly has, at the quarterback position, what kind of kid is he? “Is he going to be the first guy in the building? Is he a gym rat? Is he football smart?”

I'd say his projections aren't flawless. He wasn't way off on some recently, but just something to consider.

Overall, Newton's workout rates at an A- in my mind, and scouts will be impressed when they see him unveil his skills at the NFL Scouting Combine later this month. If he performs to this level during the combine workout, he will force many teams selecting within the top 10 of the draft to consider him as a franchise quarterback prospect. - Bucky Brooks

I made this thread for the those who want to discuss the analysts perspective on the workout. Not for Cam Hate/Love & race BS like my other thread turned out to be. :toetap05:

What I took from it was that he is a fast learner, thats something you can not teach. I think every side has there points on this one and we need not make assumptions at this point but to say Cam is not a student of the game would be silly. He is working his butt off right now to prove to everyone he should be the 1st pick in the draft.

What has Fairly done? Had a twitter chat...

Has any other QB put himself out there this much? I dont think so...

I'll say I came away from the workout more impressed with him than I was before, but it didn't answer many questions pertaining to whether or not he can play at the NFL level. I was pretty much what I expected to see, and that's all I'll say about it.

Did you get a chance to speak with him?

Just merge it... we don't need two huge threads with the exact same poo.

I'll say the same thing here as I said there...

If you want to argue for Newton and be taken seriously, please do so without making accusations of racism for which you have no basis or evidence.

If you cannot, then you are essentially admitting that you're just not smart enough to debate on facts alone.

      Big changes coming

      I'd like to see the gameday chats come back, especially if you can get it mobile compatible and like those support chats that stay on the screen even when you move around the site. We could use them during CLTFC and Hornets games now too.

      There's a lot of truth here, but at the same time, that one year of production we might be paying for is actually paying for a development arc. And a lot of players have those. QB is the most complicated position in sports, hands down.  I'm not saying Bryce will make it past the hump this year, the odds are stacked against him just like any QB in the league that isn't already considered an elite player (and there are only about 5-8 of those at most). Arcs happen, and slow arcs happen, too. Sam Darnold seemed a wash up for the Jets and a horrible mistake. He was better with us, but still couldn't carry a bad team on his shoulders (or bad coaching). He went to Minnesota and got a shot under better coaching with more mature eyes to see the field. Something sparked and then he took his team to the Super Bowl and brought home a ring. Baker Mayfield had a similar arc, and may yet hit the big game. Hell, locally, Jake Delhomme had one. Or Bryce could flutter back down having already hit his peak. It happens. More often than any of us want to admit. We've paid for a full development arc for Bryce, but we've had it on rookie deal rates and that's been a savings that has let us build out the rest of the team, which was really needed. Maybe we end up diving back into the QB pool in the first round next season. Might be the guy, might not.  But he'll be set up with a better team that Bryce was when he started. Or maybe, just maybe, Bryce adds another seven TDs and loses four INTs on the season. Grabs three more wins and maybe a playoff win, maybe two. It's not completely impossible and that'd be great for the team and for him.  We're just going to have to tune in and see how it plays out. Probably won't be boring.

      I am holding out hope for a miraculous run this season. But you know the narrative around him is peak delusional when the Panthers social team can post this without even a hint of irony. Four years and almost 50 games into his career he still looks like he's never set foot in the weight room. Really?
