Cam Newton Workout Phenomenal

[Pox 08]

Ah. Didn't follow VY much before, during and after his draft. So, I won't comment on him in regards to Cam.

[C47]

Well they were saying the same thing about Luck so you wouldn't have drafted him?? I mean we've all heard that argument before right?? :rolleyes5:

Luck came from a pro system and was taught the pro game from a former pro QB.....HUGE difference.....

I just hope Newton works out at the Combine some what, and doesn't just check in like is typical.

i hate having cam newton thread bc it always come to this. why cant we just talk about football with him. why does negatives come out the wood work with this guy.

He's much more similar to VY. I've never actually compared him to Russell until pstall started in with the Cam is a super nova Russell was a kiddie pool bs....

Have you seen a Vince Young interview? Have you seen a Cam Newton interview? In case you haven't, their personalities are completely different.

Because KT can't accept that not everyone on the Huddle thinks he is the savior of the Panthers and is going to reinvent the QB position.....

says the person that brought up race.

if you can't handle people not having the same opinion as you about a guy, then message boards are not for you.

we'll all be behind Cam if we draft him, but not all of us have bought into his hype right now.

Yea I've seen both of their interviews but I wasn't talking about their personalties. I was talking about what they bring to the field.....

Basically. People wont compare him to Carr or Alex Smith or Tim Couch. Their agenda calls for them to not acknowledge those guys failing or to use them as the poster child for failure. Last year it was Vick, this year since he's playing well, its Vince and JaMarcus. These names are thrown out there for a reason. Guilt by association, fear mongering are usually tactics of people who are scared and frightened.

If your schtick is a ploy to get people riled up it's sort of funny, I guess. If not I suppose you don't pay much attention since Russell was compared to Ryan Leaf.

Funny thing is, Russell was much more respected than Newton is and was never in doubt as the top prospect in a very strong draft. This is a very weak year and still nobody thinks he's the first pick.

I do too because I want to watch it, but it won't matter to the Panthers because they can easily get a private workout with Cam if they request it.

Newton makes powerful impression at controlled workout

By Bucky Brooks

NFL.com Analyst

As a passer, he showed exceptional arm strength, velocity and touch. He throws a tight spiral with outstanding zip and velocity. The ball flies out of his hand on a rope, and the slightly windy conditions didn't impact the speed or trajectory of his throws. When he moved on a series of drills designed to assess his touch, he effortlessly flicked the ball with arc and showed the ability to take some zip off his throws. He is capable of dropping the ball in the bucket on intermediate and deep throws with relative ease.

Newton looked very fluid and comfortable executing a series of three-, five- and seven-step drops. He routinely fielded snaps cleanly from center, and showed excellent quickness setting up in the pocket. His transitions were sound for the most part, but he could benefit from playing with a wider base due to the need to reset his feet quickly when pressured. He transferred his weight smoothly on throws to his right, and his pinpoint accuracy on those passes reflected his sound fundamentals. On throws to his left, however, he had a tendency to keep his front shoulder high, and his balls sailed on a few occasions. To his credit, he quickly corrected the flaw upon instruction, and his accuracy on those throws improved dramatically during the remainder of his workout.

Newton showed good awareness, anticipation and instincts while executing evasion and read drills. He quickly avoided simulated rushers from various angles, reset his feet and delivered accurate throws to moving targets. Although he still needs some skill refinement in this aspect, his athleticism and quickness should make it an easy flaw to remedy.

Newton anticipated open windows well during a series of read drills. He has a keen understanding for throwing to receivers in open areas, and his ability to deliver accurate passes in tight windows was impressive. He repeatedly hit moving targets on the proper shoulder, and his accuracy was effective considering that he conducted all of the throws while working from a conventional drop.

When moving on through the passing tree, Newton showed good timing, anticipation and awareness. He quickly retreated from center, and delivered the ball immediately upon hitting his final step. This was a slight improvement from the skills that he displayed on tape. During the season, he had a tendency to wait until the receiver was completely open before delivering the ball, but in his workout he threw the ball to spots and trusted his receivers to get there. If he is able to fully make this transition on the next level, his game could go from good to great based on his phenomenal skill set.

Newton's exceptional arm strength and touch stood out while executing vertical routes. He didn't have any problems throwing skinny posts, deep comebacks, seams and 9-routes against the wind. Given the difficulty that some quarterbacks have in inclement conditions, Newton's arm strength and touch should rate highly in the minds of evaluators.

Watch the video... Bucky said the same thing... phenomenal.

Luck came from a pro system and was taught the pro game from a former pro QB.....HUGE difference.....

Like Clausen over Bradford?? :willy_nilly: LSU ran a pro style offense when Russell was there too I believe. I may be wrong about that but I think I am right. Someone correct me if i am wrong.

Besides that wasn't your argument. You just said you have heard the "he has all the measurables argument before."

bc thats the only reason you are comparing the two guys.i brought it up bc any white prospect brought up is a lot more positive.

i can handle anything you bring, but when you throw facts out its gets discredited.
