Cam Newton Changing the way the quarterback position is played.

I realize you are trying to make Cam Newton some kind of epic figure in the history of football but in a way you are diminishing him. You make it sound like there are all kinds of guys like him who haven't been given a chance.

Newton's biggest gifts are proving to be his smarts, vision, competiveness, leadership, arm and size. These are not new characterisics but basically the age old blueprints for a QB. The athleticism is a bonus, as he'd have the same potential for greatness without it.

As he continues to advance his classic QB game, and if it really gets to the level we are hoping for, you can garuntee that the running stuff will all but vanish over the next few years.

That's just my opinion.

They don't have to be exactly like Cam Newton. NFL teams that are smart are going to look for ways to capitalize on the evolution of the college offenses. I think Cam has the best of both worlds. He can pass, he is big, strong, and is fast.

But his success is going to cause teams to take a second look at guys like Robert Griffin III and Tahj Boyd and try to figure out a way to utilize those guy's talents at the NFL level.

And we may be the blueprint for that.

If the things we are doing (pistol option, counter options, read options) continue to work their values and draft stock will rise.

Teeray, not sure you would say that since we had all those long PMs a while back.

You know me, we're boys, at least I thought we were

I was kinda boys with TRD too. We just had epic bitch fests that the rest of the Huddle hated. But we had a weird relationship/rivalry and I wish he didn't get himself banned.

If you aren't TRD don't get too worked up. I just like intelligent lively debate.
