He trained on campus to prepare for his Auburn pro day, now Cam Newton is back at the IMG Madden Football Academy to prepare for his (depending on the NFL lockout) rookie season.

Newton is currently working with IMG Madden Director, Chris Weinke, who won the Heisman Trophy then was drafted by the Carolina Panthers just as Newton, and staff coach Ken Dorsey.

So for the people that were scared for Newton to be working out with Favre because they didn't want him picking up Favre's "horrible habits," how do you feel about him working out with Chris Weinke and Ken Dorsey? Neither of which could sustain a NFL career?

He just got drafted No. 1, he left New York City; flew to Charlotte; went from Charlotte, home to Atlanta; changed bags, took his mom to church service, got a chance to hang home for 48 hours,” Whitfield said. “And now, he’s right back at IMG working.”

My favorite part

I didn't like the idea of Favre because Favre seems to be an egotistical headcase... I don't get that from Weinke or Dorsey... some people are better teachers than they are practitioners.

Both of these guys can tell Cam about NFL plays, team life, leadership, etc., stuff that he will need to be a successful NFL QB.

Those who can't, teach.

How can Weinke and Dorsey tell Cam how to be a successful QB when they've never been there? What proof does anyone have that Favre isn't a great teacher? Just because he chose not to be a father figure mentor to Aaron Rogers everyone has written him off as a jackass "non-teacher."

Re-read my post and tell me where I said anything that definitive. All I gave you was my opinion that I have no problem with those two, and that I feel like Favre's general attitude would not be beneficial to Cam.

Favre might be a great teacher, who knows... you don't either. He may be a complete ass and teach Cam lots of bad habits... I'd rather not take the chance.

the more tutors he has, the better. sure, there will be some bad advice, but he's got enough people around him to help him discern the good from the bad. overall, it's just going to help him achieve things quicker.

at any rate, dude looks like he's taking this thing seriously, just like he's supposed to.

You are right, I have no idea if Favre would be a better teacher or not, but minus the dong pics, I think I would rather have someone with his resume tutoring Cam Newton than two guys that have no idea what it takes to win at the NFL level. I guess we will just have to agree to disagree.

Having knowledge of what is required and actually being able to apply it are to completely different things. You do realize that almost EVERY coach of anything at any level was not a star at their particular sport. There are a few exceptions, but as a whole this is the case. Also historically the best players make horrible coaches, usually.

God knows our QBs need all the advice they can get.

Once the season starts, if we don't have a veteran, who is he gonna get it from then?

Clausen?

:lol:

MattyMo? Who was taking direction from Jakey? (love you jake)

:lol:

Tony Pike?

:smilielol5:

Perhaps Brian St. Pierre would be over Pike in the adviser ranks.

What about Isiah Thomas?

      Panthers Blueprint: Draft

      By TD alt · Posted

      Two things: 1. Dr. Eric Eager is central to the draft process 2. I know that it was edited, but we didn't hear "Thieneman" one time, not even before the Vikings pick.

      Why would he sign here as a guard when surely someone would sign him as a tackle?  Assuming he is healthy

      Went back to watching the highlights. With a sober mind haha. Here is what I saw.    freddie needs to make 1 of those but the rest aren’t on him.    Slavin was BBBBAAAD again last night. Not sure what is going on with these game one Slavin gafs.    miller was ok but had his worst game in the playoffs so far.    nikishin was no good. His his awful turnover led to the first goal at the end of the first period that just can’t happen. ghost was beat like a drum multiple times last night, including the go-ahead goal at the end jarivs wont shoot. He is either hurt or he is struggling mentally and I think it could be a combination of both. He passed up a wide open net on the power-play only to pass it to no one and cleared it himself.     Svech played well. He is getting zero help on that line.    aho. Worst game as a pro. I mean that. He won’t shoot it, passes go to no one and turns it over repeatedly.  He did exactly what they did against Montreal game one when Miller had a turnover. Aho left his man to go help and left the golden Knight player wide open in front of Freddie.  If I was Rod, you Tell Aho when that thing hits your stick you fire it  someone needs to sit him down just him in a room and ask what’s going on. He seems soft, timid and has zero fire.   canes could have won that game   There isn’t a gap between these two teams  they are dead even   Carter Hart’s gonna get lit up in this series. We can beat that guy. the consensus last night was our defense played horrible and our stars won’t score.  clean the defense up. Tell the top line to shoot it everything and we’ll win tomorrow night.   Possibly convincingly.
