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?

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
