Jerry Rice: Accuracy, not race, the issue with Cam Newton

[blackcatgrowl]

But he actually does have accuracy issues

No. He doesn't. You, as well as everyone else on the Newton hate-train, have NEVER conclusively proven this.

Never.

Let's turn this in a different direction.

Let's pretend Jerry Rice had said nothing about race and instead had said, "Cam Newton has accuracy issues."

Would you accuse him of racial bias? Racism? Or just say he didn't know what he was talking about?

[Ricky Spanish]

ok, I hate threads like this, I really do, but let's get something straight:

Accuracy in a spread offense and Accuracy in a pro style, drop back offense are completely different. it is much easier for you to see the field and make your completions when you are in shotgun. it is much harder to make completions while you are taking 3, 5, and 7 step drops in rhythm while your field vision is limited due to how close you are to the line of scrimmage. that is Rice's concern with Newton and his accuracy. he has shown that his accuracy has taken a bit of a hit since he has been working from under center. this is not only a question about newton, but all spread QBs. Can they make the transition and be accurate while they do it? the good news is, that this concern is very fixable with repetition and good coaching.

I hate race threads, I hate them, they bring the worst out of everyone. someone inevitably gets butt hurt over something stupid and then everyone bitches at each other.

Nope, the excuse would be: he never played the QB position, what does he know about accuracy?

You just have to watch football games.

I would show you, but the only thing you see is Cam's belly button getting closer to your face, then further from your face, closer to your face, further from your face, closer to your face, further from your face, closer to your face, further from your face, ..

Im tired of having to defend our resistance to having an african american QB to the rest of the world.

Where do you hold your rallies? I want to attend! I can do power point if you need help.

Mav I would disagree because Cam Newton's accuracy wasn't an issue at Auburn not perfect but not a major issue like you would think hearing some talk.

[Cat'sGrowl]

At Auburn he threw a good % of his passes behind the LOS or to guys streaking down the field open.

I could look accurate doing that

And all you see is a "OMG I READ THAT HE STOLE A LAPTOP, BAD PERSON! BAD PERSON = QB... BAD ACCURACCY... RARARRRRR!"

Then go video tape yourself doing that in a live game where people are trying to intercept you or stop you from doing it, and you might have a point.

I've actually said many times his off field issues worry me less than his on field issues

So it was easy? I'm sure anyone could have QB that Auburn team and took them to them to the national championship. Matter of fact do you have any eligibility left?

See you can't discredit what he did last season but yet y'all do that's what I call a hater.
