To be fair, he WAS on that dominant Hurricane squad, and a horrific non-call away from being a back-to-back National Champion.

Plus, he's mentored some good QBs at the IMG Academy.

 

Not a Buckeye fan, but the call you're talking about was right.

 

As to the vid, Can needs more Under Armour logos :lol:

 

Like the 'C1N" logo on the cap though.  Looks cool.

That is the most relaxed and smiling interview of Cam I've ever seen. He even got in some hilarious jokes. I think he's going to blow away expectations this year.

 

I'd agree.  Definitely a big difference from his rookie year.

 

Does make you wonder a little if Chudzinski made him uptight, but that's kinda water under the bridge,

Dude, that was not pass inference (95% of the sports world agrees). The ref fudged up big time on that play.

 

Any of three different penalties could have been called on that play.  PI was just the one they chose.

 

Three years of living in Buckeye country left me with a strong dislike for Ohio State fans, but they're right about that play.

I'm sorry but I didn't see the DB committ ANY penalty. The fact that the receiver dropped the pass while the defender had his hands behind him points to a crappy call.

 

You don't see a penalty here?

Pass interference, defensive holding, or hands to the face...take your pick.

Nope, that was allowed all game long by the refs. Ohio State defenders were basically wrestling Miami's receivers.

 

 

Winslow was tackled before he hauled in passes twice. No calls.

 

Lemme guess.  Hurricane fan?

 

Point to however many bad calls you want to.  The one they made on that play was the right one.  picture and video clearly show it.

 

They lost.  that's it.

Yep but that doesn't matter. A picture is worth a thousand words but a video clip? Nope. You claim to be a Buckeye hater but yet you support one of the worst calls made in college football history.

I watched the game when it happened.  Saw the replays a hundred times in the weeks that followed.  Saw nothing to change my mind.

 

Regardless, this thread is supposed to be about Newton's presser.  You wanna continue this debate, start a new thread elsewhere. 

 

(or don't; it's not like it's going anywhere; we'll just have to agree to disagree here)

I'll drop it since majority of the sports world can clearly see the obvious, but you're the one that engaged on the topic. I'll leave it at that.

 

Don't know that I buy that notion, but hey...

 

Regardless, finally listened to the whole thing.  Newton definitely has charisma to burn, and to be fair it's pretty easy to be lighthearted now.

 

What people are gonna be watching closely is how he handles pressers after rough defeats.  Given that he's had some experience on that front (sadly) I'm expecting better results this year.  And the fact that he's comfortable bantering with local media (plenty of that in this clip) does actually help.

      Panthers Preseason

      Ideally Bryce and the other starters should get at least a full quarter and an argument could be made for 2 full quarters given how they've played early in the season the last few years.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By CRA · Posted

      A rookie that has never played a snap and a proven 1000K NFL WR are not going to be viewed the same in these type rankings.  And calling draft picks, lotto picks, isn't some new quip I just invented.  take the big 3 Hubbard, AT, insert whatever 3rd Panther you want vs Kamara, Hill, Olave.  Most football folks outside of Carolina are picking the Saints there IMO.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      You didn’t really address the point, just like you ignored the point about the RBs initially, and saying “they are all lotto picks” is just a really silly reduction because you could say that about literally any player rookie or vet every snap, every game, every year. It is well known that different positions have different hit rates, and I would argue different types of prospects within position groups as well, and that hit rates change the further down in the draft you go. Everybody knows QB is different and that, for example, first round OL have a really high success rate. Using your lotto ticket analogy…again…you are saying a lotto ticket with a 1 in 100 chance of hitting is the exact same thing as a lotto ticket with a 1 in 2 chance of hitting (this is an example, don’t take these odds literally). The point was he is no more of a lotto ticket than the 31yr old receiver coming off a major knee injury, and in my opinion he is better odds with a higher potential “jackpot”. Saying one player is an “lotto ticket” while another isn’t is just not sound logic. You have no idea who will break out, regress, get injured, etc. There are safer bets than others, that’s all. I don’t think Diggs is a safe bet and even if he was, weighing him over all of the Panthers WRs plus 2 1k rushers is just dumb. You can disagree if you want. The list is stupid.
