FYI on the Newton Debate


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

Simple question: Is it or is it not possible for an objective person to look at the facts of the situation and come to a conclusion that differs from yours (ie concluding that it would be better to pick someone other than Cam Newton)?

Yes or no?

yes, but you didn't answer mine.

here it is again so you don't have to bother with searching for it...

here's my question for all the anti-newton people...

with the success the panthers have had in the first round and the faith that is had in this new coaching staff, why wouldn't you want them to find him as top talent in this draft? why wouldn't you want them to see his talent and skill set and believe that they can coach him?

btw...i do think you are overlooking just how much the spread is being implemented into the pro game as well as the amount of time QBs are spending in the shotgun. both of those are bound to happen with 1) the league moving to a passing league and 2) the vast majority of talent is coming from teams that use the spread and taking most of their snaps from the shotgun. if you aren't open to adjusting how you play the game, you are limiting your field of prospects and will end up getting left in the dust.

TRD already answered it.

I do want them to find the top talent. I just don't believe it's Newton.

Can you accept that as my objective opinion without trying to assign an ulterior motive?

lmfao

Yours is awesome as well rico, lol. Feel free to adopt mine if you want :lol:. Let's start a movement.

Hey, why all the sudden do I feel like if we want Cam drafted #1 we are like those victims of McCarthyism and the board is the HCUA.

Shh... they're coming, we can't congregate here!

absolutely, though i think you made up your mind long ago about him and figured it wasn't worth giving a second look.

that's all i've been asking, but it appears that your eyes are already closed to the matter. only way you would support him was if the panthers picked him and you would grudgingly do it at that.

All of that is pure assumption on your part.

I've watched Newton as much as I've watched others (watched the full workout video from the other day, actually) because I like to be informed. But my conclusions are different than yours, and that is a perfectly valid option.

If Newton is the pick, I'll accept him just like I've accepted other I disagreed with (most recently Clausen) and I've said that repeatedly. If you think otherwise, it's not based on my words, but your assumptions.

That's what I'm hoping people will stop doing.

Hey... guys... you can stop... the union is decertifying. A Lockout is almost certain at this point.

So it doesn't matter anymore. If we draft Newton or don't, we've got a WHOLE other draft to get other players.

:(

This saddens me greatly.

    • That was always the fear, expectation, concern, etc, I had.  Someone showed a still shot from his pick last game and said it showed that the defender closed 3 yards on that ball in the last portion of its flight. I forget the number. 10 yards I think it said but that sounds extreme.  When guys are open by a step, any slowing down to wait for the ball lets the defender back into the play. That sort of stuff makes the margins so small… these NFL CBs are not slow.   It is a league that highly values foot speed; the 40 times and drill times are scrutinized down to the hundredth of a second when evaluating these players on both sides of the passing game. Receivers and defenders both.   My thing with his arm strength (or anyone’s) was always “why do you want to do that? Plus pay extra picks to put yourself in that situation?”. Asking for trouble.     I wish there was a way to measure velocity on the back half of a throw compared to when it left the hand. Or really get accurate reading of the flight time of a ball from the near hash to the sideline, 10 yards down the field. Because teams could use that info. I have always seen this as being a disadvantage with Bryce but it is beyond my ability to quantify it.   I think it would show what that arm strength is really about, a lot more than just measuring how much air can you put under it so it will fly as far as possible.   
    • Who didn't see that coming.... 
    • Its a detriment if he can't play...as we are seeing.
