The thing is, the most important thing Newton does with his right hand is write in his notebooks. He updates them meticulously, head down in meetings, scribbling each day, his notes ranging from keys to the defense to reminders to be patient and take what the coverage gives him. These notes don't just reveal why he has been so successful. They could be the key to answering a long-running question: When will a true dual-threat quarterback dominate the league?

Quote

Unlike Dalton and Kap this past offseason, Newton didn't work with a quarterback guru. Instead, he played Knockerball, a game in which two people encased in huge plastic balls run into each other; practiced with an Australian Rules football team; made a cameo appearance in a flag football game in Atlanta; and finished his sociology degree at Auburn. But make no mistake: Newton grinds. Ask Dorsey for a play that Newton has made this year that he wouldn't have made last year and he instead describes an entire process, forged over years, the results of which are just now arriving. "He's underappreciated for the preparation he puts in," Dorsey says. On top of the notebooks, Newton polishes his already strong mechanics by focusing on a new point of emphasis each day in practice with Dorsey. Twice this year in the red zone, he has audibled out of bad plays and into touchdowns: Against the Saints he ran for the score, and against the Bucs he threw it -- the definition of a triple threat. Newton has become expert at combining "God-given ability," as Olsen says, with "taking what the defense gives him without losing his aggressive mindset," as Dorsey says.

There's plenty more about Cam in addition to the excerpts quoted above.

 

edit: I confused myself, it's an ESPN article, not NFL.com.

{ignore}First, it's an ESPN article not nfl.com.{ignore}  

But it's not the typical dribble from ESPN either, thank you. Just knowing that Kurt Warner seems to have given up on Kaeperdick made the read well worth it. :)

He's putting in the work on and off the field. He's a special player. Glad he's with us.

Reading the comments.  The hate on Cam Newton is real.  Most are butthurt Krapernick fanboys who cant handle the fact Cam is better than him (and actually has been for a while).
