Newton’s pro day shows why he should be No. 1

AUBURN, Ala. — Cam Newton had told me earlier Tuesday that he let me down at the NFL Scouting Combine and that he’d make up for it during his personal workout.

Consider Newton a man of his word. And if I’m the Panthers, I would take this quarterback with the No. 1 overall pick.

The main attraction of Auburn’s pro day put on quite the show before representative from all 32 teams (approximately 125 personnel folks), including five head coaches — Ron Rivera (Panthers), John Fox (Broncos), Marvin Lewis (Bengals), Ken Whisenhunt (Cardinals), and Pat Shurmur (Browns).

A lot of places still have Gabbert rated #1.

FWIW, both former GM's on NFLN have Gabbert ahead of Newton. We'll see Gabbert's Pro Day next week.

Most of the other reaction I've read has been "underwhelmed".

When everything is considered I'm on the PP orchestra train until draft day comes. I'm fine with drafting QB though.

Damn, that guy is a huge Cam apologist. The wind was blowing? Really?

Your thread title tells me why you shouldn't be an English teacher.

"shows why he shoulf" lol.

Gil Brandt is all over Cam Newton, no surprise there.

I did not get the same feeling from the workout but I did leave the ESPN broadcast feeling slightly better about him. Not enough to want him #1, but I'm not paid to make those decisions, either.

It showed why he shouldn't.

He was throwing into a pretty stiff breeze in Indy too. No, wait a....

I'd give Newton's workout a "B." Considering I'd given him a D for the Combine, that's improvement. Enough for No 1? Maybe for some, not me.

Better performance from Cam Newton. Eleven incompletions thrown by Newton including five drops. Solid, not spectacular, but better than Indy

Newton connected on 50-of-60 passes, which is a substandard “completion percentage” for an elite quarterback prospect at an on-campus workout. For comparison, Matt Ryan was 48-of-52 at Boston College’s Pro Day in 2008, and Sam Bradford went 49-for-50 last March.

Remember this the next time you watch Clausen throw on a windy day.:D

You were ready to pounce on this, huh Mr. Scot?:rolleyes:

Actually the wind was pretty bad inside Lucas Oil Stadium that day. Rex Ryan was watching his workout closely and having judged the annual NFLPA Chilli Combine the night before, gale force winds were reported in his vicinity. :D
