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.

      Considering you previously struggled to understand BTT despite it being explained in a video, write-up, and multiple replies, I get why this might be a little too complex for you. Happy to clarify again! Just let me know which part tripped you up this time. 😉

      a look at our 19 udfas

      And, honestly, there's only so much you can attempt to do in the draft. And every draft pick is a roll of the dice. But that's where grabbing a ton of UDFAs, and targeting the best, makes a big difference. Sure, their individual chances of getting a hit here is less, but that shotgun pattern might just hit something.  Right now, we need bulk, partly to rebuild and partly to dilute the deep level of stank that has developed on this team in the last six years. If we're going to rebuild a culture built around culture, accountability and winning, then these UDFAs we bring in each season have to be the wash water that gets out that leftover dirt.  Canales seems to be a smart, culture-first, build up the good ones kind of guy. I like that and I hope he can keep it going here. But he was working against a locker room that had been taught to lose and taught to distrust or ignore coaches. He's got his work cut out for him, still. He does seem to have it moving in the right direction and that's something I was pretty amazed with by the end of last season.

      Strength of Schedule for 2025

      The most telling sign, IMO, of a team on the upward swing is who we lost in the off-season. Who left that even saw the field? Woods, Clowney, Sanders, & Hekker. OK...no big deal. Clowney is the only 1 that I raised an eyebrow over and I get that it was a money decision. No need to pay him over $7M to take snaps from our draft picks when he was just OK last year.
