Cam Newton’s less-than-perfect Pro Day raises another red flag

[countryboi]

Clausen also didn't 'wow' anyone on his pro day.

i thought pickles was like 59 for 60 passing during his pro day?

Yeah. Completion percentage is about the LEAST important thing at the combine or pro days. Whether it is good or bad.

If you are going to play to win you can't be afraid to lose.

You've said that in an earlier post, and I wholeheartedly agree. Sig worthy words from ladypanther.

A red flag...

absolute smoke screen.

I see what you did......

Thought you could get "pie" because the first person in every thread to say that in every thread gets "pie"..... FAIL

Impressed that you remembered. :)

"Newton throws like a pro"

This proves that people see what they want to when it comes to Newton. Haters gonna hate.

Oh yeah Florio is a jerkwad.

Don't sweat the report. We have already been educated by Scott and TRD that workouts mean nothing. Neither do college statistics, won/loss records, post-season awards, or national championships.

As a matter of fact, it probably doesn't even matter if you played college ball before, as long as you have the tools!

And pedigree. Don't forget pedigree :) Gotta have it!!!!

Who the *** are you and if you think any of those things matter, may I direct you to the thread where we listed guys you've never even heard of that went undefeated, won the heisman, had post season awards, better stats than Cam and national championships.

These guys come along every year. What you see with Cam isn't his college stuff that's impressive, it's his physical ability. Colt Brennan has a better college resume than Cam and he did it for longer, why didn't he go #1?

Go play in traffic.

Just having a bit of fun; isn't that why we're all here? Things go to h*ll when we start taking ourselves too seriously.

Edit: And oh yeah, I really could care less about getting neg repped. When the Huddle starts giving out cash awards for high rep, I will work harder to earn approval.

I think this guy is being overly negative. Cam threw into strong wind for starters. I just like the fact that he improved, surely that's what we should be looking for here, we know he's an athlete with a big arm.

Meh... I don't give a crap about his workouts or his combine. I watched him play most of the year. He has all the tools and the intangibles that we know about are good IMO. He didn't get in half as much trouble as I did as a kid and I turned out pretty damn good. He has good leadership, work ethic (rumored but believable) and he is a winner. (something I hold in high regard. He never quit when everything was against him and I rooted for him in college.

That being said; my concerns are the questions that I can't really get answers to. How smart is he. How quickly does he learn? In other words I would have to be in an interview with him and see him work the white board before I could advocate him. The system he ran in college simply does not properly display these attributes, so I can't see it in film. This all applies equally to Gabbert. For the same reasons.

These are all things that everyone sang about regarding Luck and that's what sold me on him. It bothers me that it is just kinda excluded from most of Cam's reports or I get completely conflicting reports. This is why I will just live with the decision that our FO makes. I know that they were in those meetings and saw the things I did not.

Not new info. Just a video version of what he already printed.
