Waste of Internet space.

It wasn't just "questioned", whether Cam could throw from the pocket. The Analysts said HE DEFINITELY COULD NOT.

There's a difference, and that's no reflected in that article. They didn't just "wonder" whether or not he could. They ADAMANTLY said he could not.

Well, first it started as questioning. Then as it got closer to draft day and they realized he had a chance to go off the board as the first pick, it became a real concern.

I have to admit, I've watched a lot of sports in my time and the media's vitriolic attack on Cam during the draft was like nothing I've ever seen. It was clear they knew who they wanted to go off the draftboard first and Cam was not the one and they were not going to let up.

I was all in for Cam before the draft. But get this. I made my own opinion by watching his games myself. I downloaded as many as I could. I also done the same for Gabbert. After about 2-3 games it was quite easy to see who should be the #1 pick. I honestly didn't see it on film what the media was seeing in Gabbert.

same here. what i saw in gabbert was what i was seeing in clausen as a rookie. gabbert hasn't done anything so far to show that i was wrong in that assessment. he's limited in what he can do and he can't handle the pressure that he gets.

with cam, though...i saw a guy who had a big arm that could kill you through the air and on the ground. someone who was a threat to make a big play every single time he touched the ball.

i also saw someone that could hype up his team and the fans and could will and rally his team back form any deficit. it's not been until recently that i saw that part of him as a pro, though. i'm glad he's got it back.

Gabbert has the size and arm for the qb position.

Difference was Gabbert tap danced in the pocket, threw more check downs and wr screens then Newton did and also had a spread offense that he was average against Big 12 secondaries. He was a bigger project as a QB but got a weird fre pass...or "he will be the one from this draft" accolades.

Newton excelled against the SEC and played at a historic level for his first season as a starter in division 1.

Funny to see an article praising this draft class as an all timer with impact performances from Von Miller, Newton, Dalton, AJ Green, Dareus, P Peterson.

      Not sure how much he was a long term piece of this team.   Sucks to not have him as part of the rotation.   Looks like it's Lee Hunter time.

      I am not sure he will put the over the games but we’ll probably have them.   Two things I am thinking.  We have 4 preseason games.  All the coaches have enough service time to know the standards that are in place for decades. If I recall it was play your starters just a series to start woth and build it up until week theee where play a lot and you have week four to set hour roster. Evaluate before cuts.   Bevell will certainly have the whole thing down pat.   I’d they don’t do the fries and frie air will worry too. Because it is set up to do that.     I have said since they went t three preseason people have to figure a new way are still feeling it out and trying things.  We don’t have to this year.
