Article about Auburn passing attack

[MHS831]

it'd be like me insulting you by calling you a good poster

Focus on the content and not me. You don't know me at all, and you sure as hell don't know much else.

Just to further illustrate this point it'd be like me humiliating you in a bar and you responding that I'm mute.

Are sixth graders allowed in bars?

I just watched the two tapes on there. Only two games I've seen besides the National Championship to be honest. Really don't know why he is considered such a hot prospect from these three... he has a rocket and can run but he messed up the simplest of passes. I know that the three teams he played had good defenses but uh... aren't defenses really good in the NFL? Does anyone have his stat lines vs great opponents and bad ones?

Anyone got links to the games were he enters BEAST MODE for me to feel better?

Cam is the best QB in the draft period. For him to come back from a deficit like that against Alabama (who's defense is very similar to the NFL) is amazing, I don't think Locker, Mallett or Gabbert could have maintained the mental stability he did.

The Alabama video in that OP article is good to watch for both Dareus & Newton. Honestly it showed that Newton is great at making in game adjustments imo. That comeback shows that he is a leader and can be the best on the field general than we've ever had here.

Cam Newton's ability is just too much to pass up. The only areas of concern that mean anything to me are the character issues. In my opinion it is not a solid reason not to take Cam with the first pick. I was looking at the draft history of the past 20 years and it is really interesting how much of a gamble the draft seems to be. It is great fodder for talking heads and people like myself who love to share ideas, but the bottom line is that there is a fifty percent chance that the Panthers, (and all teams for that matter), will make the wrong pick. The only thing for sure will be the 100 percent chance of whatever the pick is that it will make good discussion for the summer months.

He had a great college career. We have other weapons, especially if we keep #34 and #89. He only needs to be good, not great, to be successful in the short run.

We have much better RB's and O line than he had in college, a nice safety valve in veteran Shockey and a high risk high reward receiver in Smitty with Gettis and LaFell. We don't need him to be a world beater yet, just not turn it over and not to play scared.

Cam has the mechanics and mental capability to lead us to a super bowl(whenever we get there again) he gave every game his all during college, and there's no doubt he wouldn't when he gets to the NFL.

That was a fun game to watch. I also noticed when watching that replay that he makes a lot of reads. You can not honestly watch that and say that he is a one read and run guy. His accuracy does need work but all of his bad throws were off balance. He needs to work on his balance and footwork.

What I am most impressed with is his ability to sell a fake. I think that is huge in the NFL. One of Big Ben's best attributes also.

I am with you. Its definitely why they included that piece of video with the article. He clearly looked at multiple receivers instead of running.

I think he's a lot better in the pocket than people give him credit for. When Auburn was surging back, he could have ran on those big passing plays, but he kept the play alive with his legs, stepped up, and threw downfield. Very impressive against one of the best D's in the country (Dareus & Co.)

The next two weeks are going to be interesting. JT Greensboro, I think there is doubt about Cam, but he does have the ability. If we draft him, I hope you are right. As with Clausen, I support all who wear the black and blue.

Agree 100 percent. And just to add to this a bit...notice how he keeps his eyes downfield when he is forced out of the pocket.

The whole 1 read and run thing is BS, and indicates people have not done their homework.

And let's also consider how helpful it will be to have a QB under center that the skill players don't hate.
