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

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.

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

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

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:

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
