Newton's personality reminds me of.............

Mcnabb, the way the guy loves to have fun and kids around, Mcnabb was seen as a big kid while he was philly, and I don't see why having a good time is a bad thing. Mcnabb loves the fans and so does Newton, I hope Newton is a great leader like him as well.

Also both of them are always smiling.

Rothlisberger smiles in training camp.

Phillip Rivers smiles in training camp.

Matt ryan smiles in training camp.

Aaron rodgers smiles in training camp

Do you see a trend here. it's very obvious

Mcnabb's personality is genuine, like Cam's.

McNabb has a habit of "hey, not my fault" statements after bad losses as well as other self-centered behavior. It's one of the things that didn't exactly endear him to Eagle fans.

On the field and in the locker room, Warren Moon is a better role model.

McNabb is the most overrated QB in the league.

His passive aggressive, throw my teammates under the bus pressers made me sick.

Maybe now...but in his prime he was a top qb and I don't really see how it can be argued. I do agree with his bad teammate reputation though. I think people just hate him for him. Give his stats to any other random, neutral qb and people would have him as a top5 qb for the majority of his career.

Edit: I am from Syracuse, loved Mcnabb, but am in no way a homer.

Stats for QBs in a West Coast system should always be understood to be at least a little inflated, especially in Reid's offense. That's why non-WCO teams who sign or trade for WCO quarterbacks pretty much always wind up disappointed. Latest example: Hasselbeck with the Titans.

When McNabb has made it to the big stage, he's generally choked (or chucked). Not what I want to see out of Newton.

    • Possible, he is physical and a forchecker but not a needle mover, but i wouldnt mind it, although I think we have enough 4th line grinders right now between Carrier Robinson and Janakowski  down there, i actually really love our 4th line.            We need scoring in the top 6, and a RHD at this point its definitely coming via trade.            Rasmus Andersson I hear may be on the market, it feels like every couple of seasons someone links us to Erik Karlsson.       As far as centers go,  Marco Rossi (even though we have a ton of smurf already)     Jordan Kyrou is an intriguing option if he is available.           At this point i think Rod should just move Jarvis to his natural center position to give us a 1B center...   yes hes also a smurf but he plays way bigger than he is stylistically.

    • The problem with these summary stats and rankings is that they flatten out progression and assume an even performance throughout the year. His first 3 or 4 games of the season don't really tell you anything about his current level of capacity but more about where he started and what his floor was last year. Given his last several games were against playoff teams, that gives you an idea of his current ability coming into the season. But it will serve more as a floor than a ceiling given the upgrade in talent on offense. And a better defense should give us more stops which results in shorter fields and more opportunities. And going into his third year there is no reason to suspect he will regress. His success wasn't  based on being superhuman but being smart and taking what was the defense was giving him. Distributing to the other guys not trying to do it on his own. He was great at the end when pressured and consistently moved the ball. That makes him a great game manager which is what we need. Something that is easier to do and relies on everyone else rather than having to be a top physical specimen or do it on his own. No one can predict the future but to say we haven't improved much is crazy given just having the Browns anchoring the defensive line will shut down the run and make sure QBs won't be stepping up in the pocket.  Assuming Evero got the message to can the prevent defense and bend until you break philosophy.
