In 2012 I want Cameron "Cam Fuggin" Newton


Recommended Posts

Are you crazy.

He is 2nd only behind Kellen Moore with a 180.3 rating.

He is the best quarterback with the deep ball averaging 10.5 yards per pass which is tops in the NCAA.

He is 12th in rushing yards in the NCAA.

He is 5th in the NCAA with 9 rushing touchdowns.

The dude is moves like Mike Vick but throws like Joe Flacco.

He would be unstoppable at quarterback not only because he is 6-6 and 250 lbs.

I don't think your crazy, He's a great player. But Andrew Luck is a great QB and has all the tools, looks the part, has the arm. We'd be crazy to pass up on him, especially being we have a great chance to have the number 1 pick this year.

Sounds like what the analysts said of Clausen, minus the attitude stuff.

Passer efficiency is over-rated in college. Yes, Newton has a higher passer efficiency rating but try to explain it with passing stats...

Pryor

Completion %: 68.0%

Yards: 1349

Touchdowns: 15

Interceptions: 3

Sacked: 11

Newton

Completion %: 64.8%

Yards: 1138

Touchdowns: 12

Interceptions: 5

Sacked: 7

So in terms of passing in college I do not know how you can make the claim that Newton is more efficient than Pryor has been. Pryor has a higher completion percentage, more yards, more touchdown passes, and less interceptions while being sacked more than Newton has been sacked.

Also, passing efficiency doesn't tend to lead to NFL success. The Golden Calf of Bristol was top 3 in the country one or two times and he won't make it as a QB in the pros. Kellen Moore isn't a pro QB. I could go on and on but its pointless.

    • I complete disagree. Who is available is extremely relevant. If you have a couple of players you would be happy with and you can still get them if you trade back, you should do that in a heartbeat. Being afraid that people will lowball you next year is an odd stance. Then you just say no next year, problem solved. In this particular draft you can get a very good player at 46. But to each their own.
    • I don't think so.  Watson really screwed them up.  I see something happening, but do not know what.  Cousins could be had in a trade--but they liked Flacco when he played there.  If it were me, I would not spend the #2 pick on Sanders.  I would go after a tier 2 qb because I think Will Howard is going to start in the NFL soon, and I think Ewers was rated very high at the beginning of the year--he knows adversity and he beat out a Manning while taking Texas to 2 playoff appearances.  I am not good at picking QBs, but I think Howard's run pass option and his accuracy is going to help someone.  Stay in Ohio and play for the Browns behind Flacco--
    • After Cam at #1, there are three or four elite players and there could be a trade--If I am the Giants and I am needed a winning season badly and I have several needs, I might trade out and pick up mid first and an extra second rounder, including a QB--while nobody is going to move up to #3 for Sanders, they might for Carter or Hunter.  If the Giants then move back, Sanders could still be in play.  That could be the trade in the top 3.  New England wants Campbell and I get that; Jacksonville at #5 could move back if someone wants Graham or Jeanty.  But barring some trade, the top 4 are probably locked in. So it could be 2 hours into the draft before we get any surprises. Nice list, by the way--you nailed it.
