Gruden's extended QB Camp w/ Newton (drills included)

[Darth Biscuit]

I didn't watch the full clip I have it recorded but did he even try to explain what "36" meant? What the receivers did? What his progressions were? What they were trying to accomplish with that play design or was it just "36" and we are more athletic than the defense so the play will work?

Mallet looked very impressive in his chalk talk so it would be good to compare

Mallet seems like kind of a bumpkin but he was impressive at that white board.

I'll give Cam one thing... he's confident and that's what an NFL QB needs.

Mallett = Cutler

which is still better than anything the Panthers have ever had talent wise at QB.

I watched the replay of the full episode last night and it just confirmed that I don't want the Panthers to draft him. Seemed like he was struggling drawing up a couple of Auburn's plays on the white board.

Oh and if he tries to command the huddle like he did when he broke it down with the "swag" at the end of the show, he will never gain the respect of his teammates.

That was the one part he didn't struggle with. Hater. So you went in jaded and trying to find confirmation on why not to draft him and the one spot that stuck out to you was the whiteboard. Really the whiteboard. That part.

You've never been in a huddle have you.

That wasn't the only part, throughout the show I saw fake confidence. I don't question his athletic abilities, it's the between the ears I question.

Nerves is to be expected hell this pretty much was like having a job interview on national tv even though it's truly for us the fans. Confidence is something I wouldn't question about Cam besides he came off as confident, willing to learn/take criticism well to me.

[DaCityKats]

how do you see fake confidence?

[TarPanther9180]

how do you see fake confidence?

He comes across, to me, as someone who is playing the act of a leader and QB. Some of his responses seem scripted and not natural.

Did you play football in Highschool? College? I wanted to see if you could back up the huddle comment you made

Through high school

ok, because the way you came across it was like you were a kid who never played football with a bunch of guys with personalities. just curious.

but dont all interviews be scripted? you cant play a leader role and have that much success.

To me he struggled with that break down. People can sense weakness and someone like Smitty will call him out on it in a heartbeat.
