Short Accuracy

17/20

 

A sporadic passer, Cam Newton (6'5", 245 lbs, four seasons) is still looking to take the next step in the NFL. Missing some throws, at times coming late, the former Auburn Tiger needs to tighten up his handle in the short and intermediate game.

 

Deep Accuracy

16/20

 

While not having a lot of help, Newton doesn't wow with his deep-ball potential. He seems to hang a high number of balls, losing sight of the anticipation needed to throw to targets in stride.

 

Arm Strength

19/20

 

When you look at Newton's tools, he's got everything you could ask for. He's got a good frame and amazing wheels, but his arm might be his largest asset.

 

Decision-Making

16/20

 

He has a tendency to make bonehead plays every once in a while. More than anything, Newton needs to learn to pick his spots better. Too often he's overly aggressive, and that gets him into trouble.

 

Mechanics

8/10

 

Newton's mechanics are fine but not perfect. He gets a bit bouncy, but he's still more often than not able to do well enough to send a ball popping off his hand.

 

Mobility

5/5

 

As far as a height-weight-speed combination, he's probably the best in the league. He's the prototypical hummer-hybrid new-age gurus want to get their hands on. Elusive at his size, it's tough for anyone to get an open-field tackle on the Carolina passer.

 

Starter

5/5

 

Limited by injury at times, Cam Newton didn't look like the Superman-type athlete he has in the past. Assuming he recovers well, he should be well worth a large contract from the Panthers, but he also needs to refine his game, working on not forcing the ball into closed windows.

 

 

Overall

86/100

He was ranked 14th in the Top 50 QBs.  DA was ranked 35th, it's hard to take the list seriously when Bridgewater is 12.

He rated Bridgewater higher than Cam?

:-O

OK... lol.

When number 14 out of 32 starting QB's has a rating of 86% on your analysis, you should press CTRL+A & Delete

[KSpan]

[Cary Kollins]

Dumb list is dumb.

[nctarheel0619]

That was my fault, I had to copy and paste it.  I fixed it for you guys.  

[joemac]
