Simple solution for all of Cam Newton's faults if we draft him...

[Future of the Funchise]

Steal Philly's Offensive Coordinator and QB Coach...

All the knocks I've heard about Cam are similar to the ones that many have made against Vick. If we start him out with people like these guys who are known to develop QBs there's no telling what this kid can do... Just my opinion.

Thoughts?

That could work, but I think it would be more likely that the Redskins cut McNabb we pick him up as a mentor for Newton.

I tweeted this earlier, i think it'd be a perfect scenario :thumbsup:

First off, forget the offensive coordinator from the Eagles, Marty isnt that good, if you want Newton SO bad, get McNabb to start for a year.

I dunno how someone as crappy as McNabb is gonna mentor anyone.

If Hurney/Richardson are stupid enough to draft Newton at #1 overall, I think it would be time for me to move on to a new team.

Vick = sub 4.4 speed

Newton = Not going to be bowling over people in the NFL

I don't see all the similarities others are seeing. Yes they are both mobile QBs. But Newton is a much bigger guy and not nearly as fast. His ability to run in college is what makes him such a special player. I'm not sure he would be quite as effective on the NFL level carrying the ball.

He's a more mobile Big Ben IMO. McNabb can teach him how to be a great passer even if he's not at the top of his game anymore.

his success in the NFL will depend almost entirely on his arm, imo. His legs will extend plays but his arm will be what makes them.

Ideally I see him more like a Big Ben type player, but I've not seen scouting reprots/

Similar styles coming out of college, McNabb could help him to be a better pocket passer, help him get used to the speed of the game, etc...

K. Well if they go that route, bye.

Exactly.

Unless you can steal Andy Reid, I don't see this working.

Marty Mornhinweg and Brad Childress were both successful under Reid, failures away from him.

I think Big Ben is a much better comparison. But Vick.. come on. Newton is a very risky pick IMO and we have to get something that is a sure deal with that pick. We are pretty much starting from scratch and Luck would have been just what the Dr Ordered. But I'm not exactly thrilled with any other QB prospect that high in the draft. Desperation rarely pays off. Keep in mind. Its not like Newton has been doing this for years..

nobody we draft is a sure fire slam dunk, not even luck, i still don't see luck as the best qb in recent memory like many do but would have taken him number 1 , newton might be the best risk/reward player of the two with his elite athletic gifts. he's a better passer than either vick or young were at this point in their careers & has similar elusiveness they have

Only took Vick 2 years in jail to figure it out.

Really have no interest in spending a #1 overall on a player who is the least bit questionable in character.
