Mentoring young Cam


Recommended Posts

If we draft him, I would like to see us go after Kerry Collins as both a serviceable vet and a mentor for Cam. Collins has had a very good career despite the debacle he had while he was here. I think there are several aspects on and off the field that Collins could use to mentor newton.

Perhaps that is what they were going for in tennessee with young but suspect there were other things going on. Just a thought

Cam Newton is a great athelete and Cam Newton has a big arm but does that make him a franchise QB? I wish it was that easy to use that criteria by itself to make the decsion to draft him but its not. A franchise qb has to be the ultimate student of the position and have a burning to desire to win.

He has to be a leader and have mental toughness.He has to be mature enough not to let big money and the temptations that go with it change his priorities of being a student of the position.

I am not saying to draft him or not but rather evaluate him on something other than his physcial attributes.

We want a guy with all those attributes.Think about guys that did not have the intandibles and failed their teams and fans.A few names come to mind:

Kerry Collins (at Carolina),J Russell,Mike Vick(Atlanta version)Vince Young.Matt Leinart,Ryan Leaf just to name a few.

    • Having trouble finding all these articles saying the Raiders withheld information. Here’s the latest from Crosby’s surgeon: ElAttrache told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Wednesday morning that Crosby was "doing very well in the early part of his rehab and recovery from surgery to treat a significant meniscus tear and the related stress injury to the bone and cartilage in his knee. He is certainly on track in his planned program." "We truly respect the work of the Ravens' staff with Maxx regarding the contract physical exam. We also understand the challenge the staff faces when tasked to provide a future risk assessment based on an evaluation early in the recovery process," ElAttrache said. "This is especially challenging when dealing with an elite player like Maxx considering the level of commitment necessary for a team to obtain him. The timing of this assessment is unfortunate because the apparent risk will lessen as his recovery progresses and his return to performance over the next few months becomes clear."     So the Ravens excuse is the future risk assessment based on the physical, not that the Raiders withheld information. They found an excuse to save face publicly. They had the right to cancel the trade for no reason at all, but they’re trying to save face with the most acceptable reasoning they can find. I’ve heard and seen the Ravens getting dragged everywhere for this. You know what would be an easy way to put a stop to that if you’re the Ravens and the Raiders were actually the shady ones withholding information? Just come out and say that you were not given all the medical information. But they aren’t saying that. I guess they’re just taking the bullet for the Raiders just because?    Speculation indeed.
    • Two first round picks for a guy with very questionable knees who will be 29 this summer. Yes it is safe to say the Ravens got cold feet.
    • The salary cap is the reason we got Phillips and Lloyd
