Would you be happy if Cam Newton could become...

The next Steve McNair? Granted Steve did it 4 years in college and granted I don't want to see Cam or any other player end like Steve did, but for years Steve was a damn good QB.

I reference Steve McNair because coming out from a skill set he had some of the knocks on him like Cam does. But Steve really learned to sit in the pocket, take his drops, make his reads and deliver the football.

Time will tell.

Yes, I would, and McNair is who I think of most when projecting Newton at the next level.

McNair won an MVP award so heck yeah I would be happy. I was actually bummed when we traded down and got Collins instead of MCNair.

You weren't alone in that. And we followed that up in 96 by drafting Tshimanga Biakabutuka over Eddie George.

One of my worst draft memories is an ESPN guy asking Bill Polian "any concerns about his durability" and Polian flatly replying "none" :banghead:

I personally think whomever gets Andy Dalton is going to possibly get the best guy in the draft at QB this year if they develop him. But, if we could get the next McNair out of newton then I don't think anyone would be unhappy.

Let's just hope he doesn't fall one yard short :D

Eh, I still see Steve Young when I look at Newton's game and skill set. Personality wise it would be someone else and no one is sure about who that might be and I think that is the reason for all the ? marks.

To me, however, there are a lot of question I have about his game and how they would translate to this new offense Chud is installing. A Steve Young type of QB probably won't be successful in that type of system. So to me that is one of the bigger question marks I have more so than the character concerns.

      Not sure who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"

      I mean not surprised the Patriots took him in and aren't trying to push him out. They've been the most morally bankrupt team in the NFL for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel has his own dirt on Kraft/Brady and other assholes from that organization over the last couple decades.
