It would be fun playing Cam Newton on Madden.. but outside that, I think he doesn't have the mental side to ever approach his true potential. I just don't like the kid, and don't think he can be a leader in the NFL. You can't win in the NFL with just talent.

Intersting info there but does anyone else wish Moon would just stop talking for a while?? Just take a couple of plays off Mr. Moon.

Florio speculated that if Moon continues to be a big public presence, it could put teams off of Newton because nobody is going to want a well-known player second-guessing the way they coach and handle him.

The Panthers don't strike me as a team that would worry about that sort of thing, but it's a valid concern.

Actually MAV it is very Huggerly of me bc I don't think he is helping Cam AT ALL. Just needs to stfu.

;) :lol:

to be totally honest, Moon did way more than Narwocki ever did at b lowing up the story Narwocki wrote.

I guarantee you that if moon hadn't opened his mouth, Narwocki would just have been another hater with an opinion... Instead, the two of them went back and forth publicly about it, it's spawned a week-long discussion on the topic... Meh. His former coaches did more to dispel the contents of that article than anything Moon did.

I think Moon is hurting him more than helping him, even if he is speaking the truth.

      So dumb I get it, they want to expand the reach of the NFL, but it's not the right sport to be playing games halfway around the world for a variety of reasons.   But one of the main ones is what happens if a player has an injury in that game? A lot of times, you're not supposed to fly right after some injuries, so when they happen here it's not a big deal, the player stays in that town for a few days and then flys home separately.  But that opens a whole bag of worms if the game is played all the way out in Australia. Plus just needing that long of a flight to get out there and back, even if they get a bye week after, it means a ton of travel and needing to adjust to a new time zone directly after another game.

      I don't think it was fear of the unknown because he tried to hide the extent of the injuries that made him drop. After the drop, the reports I heard were that teams knew what was wrong with his knee and it was something similar to another athlete from a few years ago (honestly don't remember if it was even a football player).  That it was basically one of those things where he should be fine for a while, there isn't a huge concern of immediate injury risk.   But what he has going on with his knee is something that is degenerative and there's little chance he'll be able to play more than 5 or so years on it before he won't be able to play anymore. So basically it was teams knowing if they draft him, he's probably going to be only a rookie contract player and even if he's great, you might not be able to get use out of him on a second contract.  Which in turn makes the drop make sense, but I'm kinda surprised some contending team didn't take him late in the 1st, hoping he'd put them over the top on a SB run but then not even have to worry about giving him a big contract in 4 years too.
