Article about Auburn passing attack

This actuality makes me think Jimmy jam will improve. This is also why Newton like Jimmy needs to sit for a year or two. Both were/are young coming out of college.

that was a very good article. In all honesty, with that rating system in place, gabbert is definitely in the level 2 passer category. if you've seen him break down film or go to the white board, gabbert is very very knowledgeable about what he is suppose to do and what he should do if the defense does something. the only question with him is does he translate it well to the field.

I'm still where I was on cam before i read the article, unsure, but if we do take him and he isn't at level 2 yet, he NEEDS to sit and learn before we throw him out there.

Newton may have been a junior in college but it was also his first year in the Auburn offense. I think he was able to adapt quickly to SEC level football reads rather quickly considering the timetable.

I see that, but I think the next step is a doozy. The answer to that question is the key to his success or failure.

I had a friend who was in the NFL for 10 years. He said it this way: Comparing the QBs in college to the QBs in the pros is like comparing the ground crew at the airport to the air traffic controllers.

That is also what could hurt him if he had to change offenses too much and wasn't able to delve deep into the philosophy of any system he was in. My opinion is he should have been the "Luck" of this draft and stayed another year. Hard to turn down the fast $ though

Which is precisely why it isn't going to do us much good this year to pick up another QB that shouldn't be starting. I believe the first pick overall should also be the future ROTY and my mind is made up about that. Picks based on possible potential should be left to the later rounds IMO.

People who wonder why so many underclassmen fail in the NFL need only to look at the college vs. the pro playbooks. They need to watch college film and simulate decsions at 150% of the normal speed. They need to try to out think a defensive coordinator. Cam ran a very uncomplicated system in college. Does that make him a failure? No. Do his highlights mean he will succeed? no.

the man has had 57 concussions.

And he's forgotten more about football than most of us will ever know.

P.S. he was right, Vick would have been a hell of allot better than anything we had.

I think if we take any QB he should sit. This QB class does not have a Matt Ryan in it but that does not mean they are not talented. The two best guys are very young and will need time.

Besides Jimmy does deserve another chance and while he may not be our guy he can parlay his success to another team. Brees did very well at that.

Lol Vick as a failure you can't even make a good thread when you stumble upon a good article.

That was from another article--if you could read you would know that. I even said I would not put him as a failure--

Time for you to get a reading coach. Hang in there--you are never too old to learn to read--of course, from the maturity level of your posts, you might be too young to read. Either way, I pity you.

Yes, you are right about that, but Clausen also fits into that category. However, if you look at the QBs below who came out early, only 14% (about 20% if you call Vick a success and I probably do), succeeded. That is why I am against picking Cam. The foundation is not there yet. We are all arguing physical set vs. mindset, which explains the divide. History is working against Newton, not the haters. They simply see the odds against him. Some say he cannot be compared to them because he is a stud--not enough of one to overcome The Golden Calf of Bristol, however.

So you would have been against drafting Luck who if he had come out this year only started for 2 years? Even next year he will have a year of eligibility left although he will have graduated because he redshirted as a freshman.

Or do you consider the player, not just whether he is a junior or senior??

mhs considers nothing but his misguided notion that quantity is a suitable substitute for quality and we're all worse off for it.

For most part of Vicks career he was a failure. Thugging it out in ATL and arrogant about his mediocre play. Even now he cant understand the fact a QB can slide and not be out multiple games with bruised ribs.
