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).

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.

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

Evan Silva, PFT

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.

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

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

      OTA's

      I think he's gone, and rightfully so, if he turns in another losing record. The "talented roster," regardless of how true or not, is a double-edged sword. If the roster is so much improved now from 202X then why are you still producing losing seasons? On one hand, maybe that's what needs to happen. Have the GM hire the new coach, and then have the new coach pick his guy to run his system. That is typically how it works in the NFL. Not the forced inheritance deal we have had in place.

      Hinging on Brooks to be our spark...be good if it happens... but not holding my breath....RB next draft. Morgan gambled...it would be a 2 year payoff if thing happened.

      Only way Canales is fired is if we are attrocious everywhere....  defense /special teams and offense..  There are enough "questions" on if BY9 is the guy that ownership wouldn't fire the coach for "just" mid qb play.  Especially with as talented a roster that has played "well enough" to win some tough football games and hang in there against the top tier of the NFL ...(mostly).   Now total team suckage..yeah .. but I don't see that happening.
