Sources: Fairley, not Cam, "one to worry about"

[pantherfan81]

Much of the attention following the Combine has been centered on the team interviews with quarterbacks Cam Newton, Ryan Mallett and others, but according to three sources from different clubs, it is another high profile player who set off the most alarms at the Combine.

Auburn defensive tackle Nick Fairley was described as a "JUCO kid to the core" by one longtime personnel man, speaking on the condition of anonymity.

By "JUCO" the source is, of course, referring to the fact that Fairley played junior college football (Copiah-Lincoln Community College) prior to starring at Auburn. Asked to elaborate why being a "JUCO kid" is a bad thing, the source explained.

"Just because a player went to a junior college doesn't mean, he's a bad guy or won't be successful at this level, obviously. There are lots of junior college players who have gone on to great NFL careers."

The stereotype is that JUCO players aren't as smart, hard-working, and well coached. They are also viewed by many clubs as players most likely to have had off-field troubles in the past and potentially more in the future. The source refused to go into specifics, but said, "Everyone is coming down hard on the quarterback, but [Fairley] is the one to worry about."- Rob Rang

Seems Fairley is getting more bad buzz recently.

And Cam spent his only other year on the field at a JUCO college. So both went JUCO and both only have one year of success at D1. Sounds like to me they are made from the same mold.

Just another NFL guy coming to the defense of Cam. I know you hate it. It is amazing how many people come to the defense of this guy after spending time with him.

really? saying "Fairley set off the most alarms" isn't exactly a stellar endorsement.

This is the same guy that is convinced that the people saying Cam didn't ace interviews were smokescreening.

It's very possible. It's also possible he just didn't ace his first few, and he learned from it.

[Jackofalltrades]

We're not drafting Cam, so does it really matter. I doubt Fairley is the pick either.

So he is a quick learner??? Good news for a supposed idiot :p :p

If this happens I will scream like a little girl. (in excitement)

A month ago I was high on Fairley, now Dareus is the DT I'd want.

You have said this a couple of time JOAT and you may very well be correct. What I can't seem to figure out is if it is a slam dunk we aren't taking him; why are we bringing him in?? Doesn't make much sense. Smoke screen?? :willy_nilly:

I think some of his actions in the past have been idiotic. Doesn't mean he's stupid and can't learn poo.

So you think Rob Rang is someone worth listening to, then?

[SOJA]

I think I've officially turned into a Dareus fan
