Cam Newton breakdown

[monstercat]

To me, just the cut-ups of Cam's passes, make that link worth clicking. The only other way for us fans to see all of those throws, is to sort through about 10 different youtube videos, so thanks.

But anyway thank you guys for all the kind words and if you do like the article I would ask one small favor and that is to post a comment on the blog itself.

Done.

I take it that the original poster tried to quote the entire article without posting the link?

As one of the two authors of the article, I thank you.

That was my fault. I posted a full section from the article. I since corrected it.

Great article, Kiper probably read it and then adjusted his mock draft lol

No worries.

You didn't mention ANYTHING about how Cam Newton and Jarmarcus Russell are both black, and thus destined to have the exact same career in the NFL.

OMG!!!! what an oversight!!! that completely discredits the entire article. Let us now commence talking racial issues for the rest of the thread

As one of the two authors of the article, I thank you.

one thing i don't remember seeing discussed but that i have been impressed by is his ability to sell the fake. thats another one of his underrated aspects, but still...by far this is the best read on him i have seen anywhere.

[paulSM]

There has to be more things wrong with him, right? I mean, he can't be this good.

I just dug through the archive for this same scout group. here's a decent article about TEs... since that's the new rage in town.

Anybody else notice that sometimes when he drops back, he almost looks like he's faking taking a knee? What is that? Kind of like a running pump fake?

[mav1234]

If you're talking about what I think you are, he is faking taking off running.

sorry about posting this link. didn't know it was already in another thread as i rarely wade through long threads.

i thought it was a great article with some great video. ck did a good job of telling the facts as he knows them.

there were some character issues but he was a freshman in college and i for one would be lying if i said i didn't make more than a fair share of mistakes my first year or two in college. certainly i got a traffic ticket or two and tried to short-cut through a couple of classes. being broke, i mighta took something for nothing somewhere in there. i learned the hard way quickly, that you don't gamble and it pays to be honest.

if he's stayed outa trouble since then i think there's a good chance he's wanting to not screw up again. it's probably a good thing that he learned some hard lessons early before he became a gazillionaire.

what i found in this article was a supremely talented young man that wants to not only be great but to win. he didn't just work out by himself but he got other players on the team to work out with him (which says a lot to me about him being liked and a leader).

i really love the way he seems to enjoy himself on the football field and loves laying a hit on someone. at least in the clips, if he screwed up, he took responsibility for it but without it seeming to sink him. if his receiver screwed up, he never pointed them out or got visibly upset. seems like he knows he needs them even if they ain't the greatest and he does his best to make it easy on them.

i also like the way he seemed respectful of the refs.

toooooo many guys (weinke, clausen) make football seem like a terrible JOB. yes you have to put in work but it should be work that you love to do and can't wait to get out and do again the next day. and if you can get teammates to enjoy putting in the extra work with you ... then you are a true leader.

i think players will love having him on the team and be willing to let him lead. will they test him? sure, but he seems like he's gonna be fine. i'd certainly rather play for him than i would a sour puss.

again great article. thank-you.

if you're still around, how will he fit in a coryell offense?
