#filmstudy Cam Newton, I'm 7 cups of coffee deep today watching this kid and my brain is about to explode. Hard to wrap brain around!

@TDESPN Trent Dilfer

#filmstudy Newton, I'll start by saying I LOVE what Car is doing, they are developing & training a PASSER not a game manager.#LetTheKidPlay

@TDESPN Trent Dilfer

#filmstudy Newton, By letting him play and sling it around he will grow much faster as a passer and learn quicker from his mistakes.

@TDESPN Trent Dilfer

#filmstudy Newton, After 2 games I am BLOWN AWAY by his ball location on DOWNFIELD throws, especially outside the numbers. Incredible!

@TDESPN Trent Dilfer

#filmstudy Newton, It is a VERY high risk-reward passing game. Cam is going to have a ton of big plays, but could also have many int's.

@TDESPN Trent Dilfer

#filmstudy Newton, Lots of deep drops and vertical routes give him time to digest cov. and use big arm.

@TDESPN Trent Dilfer

#filmstudy Newton, Car O-line,backs, & TE's doing GREAT job in protection schemes allowing this type of O to work. Rec getting open

@TDESPN Trent Dilfer

#filmstudy Newton, Almost a throwback passing game from the 70's & 80's. Major in 7 step play action & other chunk yardage concepts.

@TDESPN Trent Dilfer

#filmstudy Newton, Defenses will eventually force the ball out of his hand quick by bringing overload blitzes.He must pass that test!

@TDESPN Trent Dilfer

#filmstudy Newton, The kid's fundamentals have gotten so much better, @georgewhitfield did an AMAZING job retooling his mechanics b4 draft.

@TDESPN Trent Dilfer

#filmstudy Newton, Both TE's working hard getting open & sharing pass blocking duties. They will be huge in Cam's development. #TE'sRock

@TDESPN Trent Dilfer

#filmstudy Newton, If your looking for comparisons to past QB's, I don't know if I have one. Very unique skill set & development philosophy

@TDESPN Trent Dilfer

#filmstudy Newton is going to be a fascinating study the next couple of years.

We need to keep perspective, our offense will only get better- particularly in the RZ.

This is gonna be a very high-powered offense, when the running game opens up, a long with our deep attack. The defense I'm less than enthusiastic about this year, but the offense is gonna be something fun to watch.

    • Right. But you do understand that there is no such thing as not signing free agents, right? That's what I mean. So make some good free agency moves and do well in the draft. That's step one. If you can't accomplish that, then this will just keep getting worse.
    • Sweet jebus this is idiotic Yes, overall team success in this league, you need a good QB, but beyond just that painfully obvious fact, let's get into the rest of the stupid in there......... First things first, you say.. "if we need a good QB for him to have success, then why are you drafting that player with the #1 pick" Show me one time I've ever said we would need a good QB for T-Mac himself to have success... you can't, because I never have.  I think you're referring to the "he's bad enough that we then have a Top 5 pick to target a QB" part of my post, which is very clearly talking about said QB, not T-Mac.  The other way to interpret that is just overall team success, which again, wouldn't be anything about T-Mac or his ability to impact the offense or overall team wins and losses. I'm quite sure I could do this with a number of teams over the years, but I don't want to spend the time to do multiple, so I'll keep it to just the 2023 Vikings right now since you wanted to use Jefferson as your example....... The Vikings went 3-6 after Cousins went down last year.  And two of those wins came before Jefferson even came back from his own injury, they were 1-4 in the final 5 weeks after Jefferson came back. In those 5 games, Jefferson had 31 catches, 503 yards, and 2 TDs Having the WR you specifically called out didn't help them go better than 1-4 with a bad QB, even though he still put up a great stat line for that time period either.  It also didn't make that QB good enough to where they then went out and brought in TWO new QB's this year to replace Doubs and Mullens who started down the stretch for them last year. And that's with 4th year Jefferson, not a rookie that T-Mac would be If you expect a WR getting drafted #1 overall to be the player to turn a franchise as bad as we are around in 1 season, make whatever QB we're able to put in there be successful, and lead us to a solid season, then you are literally insane. We are AWFUL, we have a few young guys who could turn into great players, but we are so far from being a good team, that there isn't any player we could draft next year that is going to change that in 2025.
