Gruden's QB Camp: Cam Newton

[Catalyst]

Ben is good enough to win a Super Bowl with. The Steelers have had great defenses, sure, but I fully expect ours to be very good under Rivera as well. If Cam can be as good as Ben, I'll be very happy with that.

It's not a unique opinion. I'm not the only person that sees Big Ben for the just-above-average-at-best QB that he is. Jake Delhomme could have won multiple Super Bowls with those Steeler defenses. That's all Ben really is, a harder to tackle Jake Delhomme.

dont watch much football huh? from someone who does watch a lot of football, i have no idea what you are talking about.

Yea, we would have a top 5 QB if he were as good as Ben.

Wouldn't it be awesome to see Newton come on the field with 2 minutes to go and come back and beat anyone but especially New Orleans, Altanta or TB. The way he talks, I believe he might do that once a year or so.

it's more about consistently making plays with his arm in the pocket - not just hitting wide open guys, but fitting balls into tight spaces. hell even TRD gave him props for that throw if I recall, because he did avoid a defender and deliver a nice pass.

I really hope he'll be as good as people around here seem sure of, because he'll be extremely fun to watch if so :)

Understood, but that's still a hell of a throw to be able to make with the kind of pressure he was under... if he was a pure "tuck and run" QB he would have just tucked it and ran, folks miss the fact that allot of his runs were called plays, not him scrambling because he couldn't find anybody open.

I found it interesting that he mentioned playing against

Peyton Manning

Tom Brady

then

Drew Brees

Matt Ryan

Josh Freeman

All being from The NFC South of course. I hope this is a sign we draft Cam.

yeah I noticed that as well..the last qb's mentioned all happened to be NFC-South QB's.. but who knows, maybe it just means the media believes we will draft him and doesn't have any concrete basis. I want him at number one though. And I want at least one decent o-lineman in this draft.

[Galvatron]

I only heard five QBs mentioned by newton. 3 of them from our division, then Peyton and Rodgers. just saying.

it's not like he rambled off a real lengthy list. it was just a handful, and he failed to include the likes of Brady, Rivers and Big Ben.

He actually did mention Brady; his was the first name that he came up with besides Manning

They mentioned Aaron Rodgers after our 3 actually, and then brought Manning back up. I wouldn't read too much into it. Gruden still follows the NFC South quite a bit so not surprised by him putting our QBs on there.

IIRC Newton brought up the majority of QB's. Gruden's contribution was the initial "Manning on MNF"

lol way to resort to insults over someone that isn't even on our team. Sounds like you're either too young to know what you're talking about or you don't know as much about football as you claim. I watch more than my fair share of football. Nobody on an internet message board has any room to claim they know anything about some other stranger. You sound like an idiot insulting someone else you don't know and have no basis to back up the insults with. I have a different opinion of Big Ben than you, it doesn't make either of us "watch less football".

In summary, grow up.

I also thought is was weird he spoke of Ryan, Brees, and Freeman.....gets me a thinkin and wondering what Cam really knows about who is drafting him.

Bring em in! Im ready to get this poo started!

Gabbert's "Gruden's QB Camp" just finished today. That is why he's the last one up, for those who were curious.
