Cosell Talks: Newton & Stafford On The Rise

Newton did not have a record-setting rookie season because he’s a great athlete. Certainly, his touchdown run against the Bucs late in the season was spectacular, and few quarterbacks have that kind of breathtaking running ability. But no one becomes a great quarterback in the NFL because of the way they run.

I watched every Newton snap in 2011, and the reality was he played exceptionally well from the pocket. He was poised and composed, decisive and accurate. He stood tall and delivered the ball in the eye of the storm. He made difficult throws into tight coverage. He did not run unless it was the last and only option or it was a designed play call. What was so extraordinary about Newton’s season was that he transitioned to the NFL in a manner that was unexpected and unforeseen based on his college résumé. He was primarily a run/option quarterback at Auburn. While the big arm and occasional NFL throw were there, Newton was not often asked to display the attributes necessary to thrive on Sundays.

One of the things that people have missed on big time about Cam, because they get caught up in the accuracy issues, is that he has incredible pocket presence. Not for a young player, but for a quarterback, period. Late in the season, when Cam started getting into more of a groove and understanding how to execute the playbook better, he would take the snap and play under almost serene calmness, even with bodies flying around. It was a joy to watch.

He was the BEST QB under pressure last year.

Watching Cam stand in the pocket with his poise, tossing the brick around was amazing, I was like this dude is a rookie, and has pocket poise like 5 year vet.

But you have to credit the O line, they weren't the best last year, and Cam made them look better with his escapability, but they did hold the line, on a lot of key moments, and Cam was able to get some great passes to his WR.

I can't imagine having a better line this year, with what we still have on the offensive side of the ball. We have a lot of depth at the O line, and I'm pretty happy with all of them.

      Give Legette another season?

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Trade up for a project was dumb, he's gonna be 25 next month. By the time you're deciding on whether he's worth the 5th year option or a big contract you're already gonna be thinking about moving on soon either way.

      I mean this is legit AF statement....you don't spend that draft capital on a project just like you don't trade up for an injured RB either, which was done in the same draft.  That draft IMO was a necessary evil for DM to learn from his mistakes (I think he did but some may not). Also I have to mention I'm a big Coker fan and think getting him as an UDFA was obv a steal.  Coker is the better WR2 at this point as Legette and its not even debatable unfortunately.  Give him year 3 but don't expect much from him.  Continue in the offseason with adding as much talent and competition on the roster as possible including WR.  Or just trade his ass for peanuts and continue to build roster by any means.......

      Losing him was a huge loss. Look at how the Bears went from a 5 win team to now a 11 win team. The Lions offensive line is bad this year, secondary is bad and Campbell going for it on 4th down all the time has cost them games instead of taking the Field Goals. Goff is inconsistent as well.
