Name the QB these comments are being made about

"I can't remember being in such awe of a quarterback in my decade of attending combines and pro days."

--ESPN's Todd McShay

(*)is going to immediately energize that fanbase, that football team -- on the practice field, in that locker room. Three years from now you could be looking at a guy that's certainly one of the elite top five quarterbacks in this league. ...You're talking about a 2-3 year period once he's under center. Look out because the skill level that he has is certainly John Elway-like."

Jon Gruden:

“The workout * had was Star Wars. It was unbelievable.”

Mike Mayock, NFL Network:

“This year, I can’t get over how good and talented (*) is. It just blew me away. If I had the first, second, third, fourth, fifth pick in that draft, I would be tearing apart his personal life trying to figure out whether or not I could trust this kid with $10-million … From a physical skill set perspective, I’ve never seen a college quarterback with more ability than (*). You put the tape on and it’s frightening. The only thing that’s going to keep (*) from being great is him. What it comes down to is you’ve got to figure out whether or not this kid wants to be the best quarterback in football. If he wants to be the best quarterback in football, he can be.”

Jamarcus Russell

Funny, I could swear the said the same about Vince Young, The Golden Calf of Bristol and now Cam Newton. Hummm...

when will fans realize these guys aren't going to win you superbowls? Sure they are fun to watch just like Doug Flutie, but they aren't going to win you superbowls and as a fan, superbowl wins are all I care about.

I am not even going to fall into the trap in which we end up comparing referenced QB to Cam Newton.

[monstercat]

They all probably said the same thing about Ryan Leaf and David Carr too, so what's the point...that we should never draft a QB that McShay and Mayock say good things about?

[The Saltman]

“McShay does not have any good connections,” the source opined. “Higher-ups in the league think he is an arrogant asshole. A know-it-all. And he really knows nothing. Whatever he says about a quarterback, take it to the bank, it will be the opposite. Remember, last August he stated that Jevan Snead was better than Colt McCoy and would get drafted in the top five. He has yet to publicly retract that statement.

“One of the reasons the kid came out was because of what McShay said. The family thought McShay knew and everyone else was wrong. . . . He has problems with game management, accuracy and leadership among other things, but pretty boy Todd thought he was great because of one good game (the Cotton Bowl) a year ago. McShay is a pretty face who comes across like he knows what he is talking about. He does have good presence, but knows nothing.”

This is starting to get annoying. Seeing the same threads with different titles.

stuff.

Mike Mayock's quote was right on the money. What evidence do you have that suggests that Cam Newton has the work ethic of Jamarcus Russell?

What evidence do you have that he won't be a bust like Russell and others like him?

Do you want to win a superbowl or go with flash?

No, it says quit drafting gimick QB's. That bull poo doesn't win superbowls. Steve Young didn't do poo till he learned to settle down and read defenses and deliver the ball.

I love how some say the college game is changing the NFL. bull poo, pure and absolute bull poo. In college you have about 200 elite players playing against thousands of guys that will never see a football field again. in the NFL they are ALL the best of the best that college had to offer plus they have pro experience and lifting.

Only when they cap moronic posting like yours.
