I do not want Newton, Do you?

[Ashor]

Hey Ashor, I want Taylor Swift. Wonder how she would transition from the cowgirl to the face down ass up position?

Do not talk about my woman.

Cam Newton's passer rating... The highest in NCAA history at 188.5.

:ee:

How different were his stats from those of The Golden Calf of Bristol's or JaMarcus Russell's? Not at all. In fact, in 2007 The Golden Calf of Bristol had a better passing year in every category than Newton and still had a lower rating so suck it.

[Ashor]

Newton is a running back that can throw. The threat of him running the ball is what makes him "good" and that is not what wins Super Bowls.

[KaseKlosed]

Not to mention that our franchise rarely if ever drafts quarterbacks and especially in the first round. Clausen fell in our laps in the 2nd round but before that, our highest drafted quarterback was something like Kerry Collins back in 1956.

Against the blitz Newton completed 67.6 percent of his pocket throws for 14 touchdowns and three interceptions.

Newton completed 73.5 percent of his passes last season against the blitz in conference games. He threw five touchdowns and did not throw an interception

the best quarterbacks in the NFL are usually the best at handling the blitz. In 2010, for example, here were the top seven NFL quarterbacks against the blitz based on passer rating:

1. Tom Brady

2. Tony Romo

3. Aaron Rodgers

4. Matt Cassel

5. Josh Freeman

6. Ben Roethlisberger

7. Matt Ryan

Myth 82759237471: Cam Newton Does Not Have a lot of Playing Experience

To say it simply this is true. Newton only has one season of starting experience in D-1 football. But to say that he doesn’t have experience is ridiculous. Newton committed to Florida and got a few snaps in both is freshman and sophomore seasons, but the important thing to understand is that he got experience behind The Golden Calf of Bristol while learning and developing.

He transferred to Blinn Junior College for his RS Sophomore season where he threw for 2,833 yards and 22 TD’s while leading his team to the NJCAA Championship. He would transfer to Auburn University where he played and won 14-games on an SEC schedule in route to the NCAA Championship with 2,854 passing yards, 30 touchdowns, a 66% completion rate, 10.2 YPA and only 7 interceptions. To say that he doesn’t have experience isn’t fair. Blaine Gabbert, Jake Locker, and Sam Bradford all had two real actual full seasons (Locker a little more), and Newton won two different championships in his time.

Myth 203294823420: Cam Newton Isn’t Accurate

This is one of the harder bits to swallow. Jake Locker isn’t accurate, Blaine Gabbert isn’t accurate (given the short routes he ran), but Newton is accurate. Newton can hit any throw in the world, and he has a very good short and intermediate accuracy, and his deep accuracy is decent. With a 66% completion rate in 2010 it is completely unfair to say that he isn’t accurate. He also only threw seven interceptions this season, so to say that his passes are throw sloppily also isn’t fair given that his decision making skills are fairly solid.

Myth 5320498230420: Cam Newton Played in a Goofy Offense

This is such a dumb argument. Sam Bradford, The Golden Calf of Bristol, Blaine Gabbert, and Colt McCoy all played in the spread. Late rising QB Colin Kaepernick played in about the goofiest offense in football. Ryan Mallett played in an offense where it seemed like 2/3 of his throws were on a bootleg. Jake Locker started in the spread offense and might not be 100% out of it. The fact is that in today’s day and age there are more quarterbacks from the spread, and teams know how to sort through it.

Myth 6092384023840248: His mobility Means Nothing for the Pro Game

This is half true. Newton cannot expect to run for 16 touchdowns each year, and nobody will. He is a great runner and he can make moves, and he will be expected to makes moves when he can or when he needs to. He has a top notch pocket presence and he needs to find out how to properly use it in the NFL.

When you look at Cam Newton on paper you may see just a very athletic quarterback without much experience who has some flaws that won’t let his succeed. I personally see all of his flaws are either over-criticisms or issues that have been blown out of proportion. Newton has the most potential in a QB that we have possibly ever seen and he has the confidence and winning potential that teams love. Some will see him as a criminal, as an athlete, or as the next Vince Young, but I see him as his own prospect. Newton right now is a cleaner quarterback than The Golden Calf of Bristol, Vince Young, or JaMarcus Russell ever have been, and I love him as a prospect in this draft.

Steve Young?? John Elway?? Aaron Rodgers?? They are good runners no??

Oh wait... this is the part where you tell me he is a better runner than those guys so therefore he is poo and despite his gaudy passing numbers he is the worst passer ever and "raw".

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

If you said no that means you want to have intercourse with "teh Pickles." However, if you said yes that means you are commited to "Winning" like Charlie Sheen.

If that doens't make you want to vote yes, then I don't know what will.

Steve Young?? Jim Elway?? Aaron Rodgers?? They are good runners no??

Oh wait... this is the part where you tell me he is a better runner than those guys so therefore he is poo and despite his gaudy passing numbers he is the worst passer ever and "raw".

Who the f*ck is Jim Elway?

[teeray]

Honestly typo.

i need to look at more footage of Cam playing as well as some of his interviews before i can decide.

[Eazy-E]

When you try to make the comparison of Cam Newton to Jamarcus Russell you kind of lose your credibility of having football knowledge. It just goes to show if you stop and evaluate the two players they are actually very different. If you want to compare any QB in this class to Jamarcus Russell it would be Ryan Mallett. Both are big tall guys with monster arms. Jamarcus I will say was more mobile coming out of college but not so much in the NFL when he was almost 300lbs. Oh and don't forget they both have questions about drug use lol.

Also where are people getting the Idea that Aaron Rodgers is faster than Newton? Their 40 times seems to say otherwise.

Liar, you are going to look at porn.

shit, did i leave my webcam on again?

Wow there are still Pickle lickers out there.

The best and most respected players on our team want a QB. But I'm sure you know more than they do.

Something tells me Pickles didn't do any better in the locker room than he did on the field. Even when rookies have a tough year the guys around them stick up for them. Hell even his fellow rookies want a QB. (at least one anyway and a WR at that) This speaks to a lot more than his poor play. A team won't win or perform at a high level for a QB that they don't like. Even a talented QB makes his team worse if he isn't respected.

He will have time to develop and mature but he needs to do it from 3rd string.
