Idiotic threads get half hearted responses

I've stated my opinion of Cam plenty of times (many of which got reaffirmed today and are just now becoming apparent to others) so if you want a real discussion of him I'd be more than happy but until then, first statement stands.

Having to start as a rookie would not be good for him.

I don't agree with that. A guy like Newton ain't going to win you a Super Bowl, at least in the short run, maybe not ever, but he'll definately put some points on the board, and won't be blamed for losses for a good while.

That description doesn't fit anybody that I want to take with the number one overall pick.

More baseless statements that make the pro Newton posters look like nothing but infatuated fanboys.

    • Spoken like someone who hasn't watched nearly enough of T-Mac other than a few short highlight clips to know his game. The only thing he doesn't have is the short area quickness in the way that you're looking for, as you seem to want that Jefferson/Chase type of WR, which sure, he's not that. But him and XL are nothing alike, let alone having the same strengths and weaknesses.  In particular, T-Mac's #1 strength is LITERALLY XL's #1 weakness, their hands.  T-Mac has vice grips for hands, catches darn near everything, and does it all with hands catches, the opposite of XL.   Beyond that, you mention prioritizing route running, of which, T-Mac already runs a complete NFL route tree at a high level.  Yes, he needs to work on his get off the line at the snap and get a little crisper on some of his cuts to create separation, but again, all players need to work on something, that's just what his is.  It doesn't change that he is already a great route runner, there are just some small elements of it that he can improve on. Even then, it's like I've been saying, the trade off of not having that true elite separation like the smaller WR's get, is how good he is at using his body to keep the DB's from being able to break up passes and just making contested catches in general.  You lose a little bit of separation, but his 6'5" body gives him advantages that the smaller WRs just don't have. Again, your post here insinuates that T-Mac is a slow, plodding big WR who isn't a proficient route runner, which couldn't be further from the truth.
    • I'm pretty sure that was the best season he's ever gonna have.  
    • I swear that hire continues to make zero sense to me, but im all for it
