Seven of the 10 executives said Newton was currently a top 10 quarterback in the NFL. Each of those seven executives spoke glowingly about Newton's talent level. One AFC executive mentioned his "ability to take over a game with both his arm and his legs" while another AFC executive credited Newton's "passion for the game and poise under pressure" as reasons why he has already attained top 10 status. An executive of a team that played Newton last season mentioned how difficult it was for his team to "get that big guy on the ground." Despite all this praise, however, none of these seven men ranked Newton as a top five quarterback heading into the 2012 season.

I am not sure why we feel the need to validate his abilities by using the thoughts of others over and over.

Can't anyone be confident in what is right in front of them?

I despised the Delhomme tenure but was he so bad that we have to trust the opinions of others above our own now? Did faith in Jake burn the psyche of Jake fans THAT badly?

maybe so.

People think Newton is good now that they've seen him play?

Yeah!!!
