Newton only similar to one successful QB in last 5 years..

Newton comes from an offense that doesn't translate well to the NFL. I recently studied 20 quarterbacks I consider models for NFL success over the past five years, and only one -- Michael Vick -- played in an offense that asked him to run the ball more than 105 times in a season. (Newton rushed 264 times last season at Auburn.)

Vick entered the league in 2001 and is just now coming into his own as a passer, and Newton does not have the same quickness and explosiveness to be as successful as Vick running the ball early in his career. Newton also lacks anticipation as a passer. I see far too many throws on tape on which he is late reading coverages, feeling where a wide receiver will break open and throwing to a spot.

Anyone thinking he will magically change styles is kidding themselves. More than 2.5x more runs than other successful QBs in the league AND issues throwing the ball!

How do people still doubt him?

Am I misremembering how good Vick was in Atl? We couldn't stop him for quite a while. He, individually, altered our draft strategy.

I'd also point out that Vick's accuracy was what held him back in Atl. His college accuracy was never above 58% where Cam's was 66% in a tougher conference, but we all know you'll disregard that.

With either Gabbert or Newton, you'd want to take the Aaron Rodgers or Philip Rivers approach. Each should be on the bench, meaning you either plug in a veteran or hope Clausen develops on the field.

... what would have been the point of drafting Newton if Clausen develops...

Unfortunately, it doesn't matter whether we doubt him or not. We have to hope that our FO makes the right decision....and drafts Dareus.

It's a good thing people who get paid to judge talent can see past what you can't TRD. I'm not arguing that he's the next Joe Montana, but if he's just a one trick pony, no one would even be talking about him. Sort of like how people NOT in the know said The Golden Calf of Bristol would have to be a FB in the NFL. Well he did better than Clausen, who even experts said was pro-ready. Yes, the safe pick is better than going on faith for a fan, but being in the know trumps everything, and we as fans are not in the know and never will be...no matter how comfy our armchair is.

maybe you cant find a comparison cause he is one of a kind....fact is most QB that ran as much as newton did are just not as developed a passer as he is and do not have the physical tools he has....not to say he is a finished product but if we are comparing him to freaking Brad Smith its just not the same

It was 61% at Blinn too.

But I'll say it for the haters...

DERP!! COLLEGE STATS NO MEAN NOTHING!!! DERP!!!

He's nowhere near as athletic as Vick. Make Vick a lot slower, less agile, and not as quick and he's easily stopped. That also makes him Cam Newton.

If we do pick Cam the kid will be on the sidelines until he can learn the playbook which hopefully won't be too long, but with the system switch, it'll take at least a year. Just be patient and take someone next year as we build a foundation for a franchise QB. That's what the Ravens did, the Jets, etc. etc.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
