Cam Newton's Potential: The Greatest Athlete in American Sports


Matthias

Recommended Posts

Cam Newton can be our Michael Jordan of football, and because football is the greatest american sport at the moment, Cam can be the greatest athlete in US sports! Had Cam ran a pro-offense at Auburn, he would already have this title coming in, but this is his potential. By now, we all know Cam Newton will be starting day one as long as he doesn't look terrible in pre-season play. (If we play the pre-season) I'm getting excited to see this kid play.:D

I've watched 30 years of Auburn football and in that time, Cam is the most exciting player to play at Auburn, except Bo Jackson.

Until the 3rd or 4th game neither the coaches or the fans realized the extent of the talent that Cam has. It was one hell of a ride last year. If Cam can take it to the next level, and I think he can, you have every reason to be excited.

The only thing he needs is good teaching and instruction. We know he has the mobility, and we know he's in good shape. If you combine that with the ability to direct an offense, I don't see why he shouldn't be the best QB in the game.

    • I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
