Ryan Lownes Newton breakdown

Recommended Posts

I! know, I know we don't need anymore Newton threads. But I thought I would post this because I think it lends itself to the idea of how Cam Newton could be a unique QB. A lot of people have questioned the idea that Newton is a different type of player and rightfully so. Lowne's breakdown probably articulates it better than my feeble attempts. Me and him have a similar opinion on Newton therefore I think he is the best draftnik ever :p.

Basically, if I were to write an in depth analysis on Cam it would probably be very similar.

Now I will patiently wait for Scot to chime in with a "but Narwookie is teh greastest draftnik eva!!!1!1!"

Just a friendly jab Scot. I am not saying this guy is the best (or even good) just that I happen to agree with him.

Kurt Warner doesn't think Cam is worth the top pick.

I don't think any QB in this draft is worth top 10 consideration. The media is only hyping these players. Teams will reach in order to fill a need, and we all know how that works. I just hope that out of the teams that will reach, the Panthers aren't one of them.

Chargers reached on Rivers. Turned out fine.

    • In my opinion Fitterer was probably right about not paying McCaffrey. Now not wanting to "pay RBs" in my opinion isn't something you want to set in stone, to me it all comes down to the individual.
    • Maybe I'm just not understanding, but everywhere that I have read says that signing bonuses go against the cap prorated by as much as five years. The following example uses Andrew Luck's rookie contract as an example. "Take Andrew Luck, the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. Luck signed a four-year contract with the Colts worth $22.1 million and included a $14.5 million signing bonus. Rather than a $14.5 million cap hit in 2012, the Colts spread out his signing bonus over the life of his contract. The hit against the cap would be $3.625 million per year over four years instead of a direct cap hit of $14.5 million directly in 2012. This gave the Colts more leverage and cap flexibility in signing other players." https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-signing-bonuses-explained/ I don't know why some of you think that signing bonuses aren't counted against the cap over the length of the contract, but whatever.   "The bonus with a signing is usually the most garish aspect of a rookie contract. Bonus is the immediate cash players receive when they ink a deal. It factors into the cap, but only for the whole contract duration, in terms of salary cap calculations. In the case of Bryce Young’s $24.6 million signing bonus, that’s prorated to approximately $6.15 million per season over a four-year deal. This format allows teams to handle the cap and provides rookies with some short-term fiscal stability, which is important given the high injury risk in this league." https://collegefootballnetwork.com/how-rookie-contracts-work-in-the-nfl/ I understand how signing bonuses can be a useful tool in order to manage the cap, and as one of the article suggests, signing bonuses may become important if you have a tight cap, but the bill is always going to come due. I'm not necessarily referring to you Tuka, but it seems to me that others simply don't want to understand that fact which is why they're reacting to what I'm saying negatively. How odd. In any event, I have a better general understanding of why signing bonuses are used now, and it's generally to fit salaries under the cap. Surely players, whether they be rookies or not, love a signing bonus because they get a good portion of their money up front. This in turn gives them more security and probably amounts to tax benefits as well. I also understand why teams would not want to use signing bonuses, particularly for players or draftees who have a higher probability of being gone before a contract even ends.
