Newton only similar to one successful QB in last 5 years..

There is a big misconception out there that the Auburn offense is incredibly simple. The offensive plays and the reads you must make as a qb in the offense are no simpler than any other college offense. What is simple is the language used to call the plays. Being a HUNH offense does not afford the qb the time to call a complex sounding play. That does not mean that the play that is called is not complex in its execution.

His commentary on the plays was absolutely horrible, he was struggling and trying to BS his way out of it. That's what worries people, more so than the names of the plays.

Clausen refused to listen to the coaches at the end of the year(per a gantt chat).

Didn't hear that before, plus Cam also ignored coaches because he thought he knew what was best. Link to the Clausen thing please because no one has ever brought that up before.

[TheRealDeal]

So. Are you gonna assume that he can't pick up an NFL offense because you have presented no evidence to back that up.

Did you see him try and walk through the play with Gruden including his reads and stuff? All the evidence one will ever need.

Sounded like a teenager getting walked in on jerking off.

I think you put too much stock into a TV segment on ESPN.

Do you have any other video of him breaking down plays?

[TheRealDeal]

And did anyone see how amazing Mallet's was? If Cam could remotely discuss half of what Mallet talked about, he'd be hands down the #1 pick.

But he came with "Uhh you see the safety I think will be somewhere around here and when I fake and stuff..."

Ok well, I am doing this on over 100 rushing attempts, because Vick only had 104 not 105. Also, looking at quarterbacks in the last five years really alters the perception, let’s take all the quarterback’s into account.

Every Quarterback that at least threw one pass last year in the NFL

Joe Webb (2009, UAB)- 227 rushing attempts, (2008)- 198

The Golden Calf of Bristol (2009, Florida), 217 rushing attempts, (2007)- 210, (2008)- 176

Stephen McGee (2007, Texas A&M)- 181 rushing attempts, (2006)- 146

Vince Young (2004, Texas), 167 rushing attempts, (2005)- 155, (2003)- 135

Alex Smith (2003, Utah)- 149 rushing attempts, (2004)- 135

Chase Daniel (2006, Missouri)- 147 rushing attempts, (2007)- 109

Kevin Kolb (2003, Houston)- 139 rushing attempts, (2004)- 118, (2006)- 111, (2005)-

104

Colt McCoy (2008, Texas)- 136 rushing attempts, (2009)- 129, (2007)- 114

Troy Smith (2005, Ohio State)- 136 rushing attempts

Donovan McNabb (1998, Syracuse)- 135 rushing attempts, (1995)- 123, (1997)- 110

David Garrard (2000, ECU)- 135 rushing attempts, (2001)- 116

Tyler Palko (2004, Pittsburgh)- 129 rushing attempts

Jay Cutler (2002, Vanderbilt)- 123 rushing attempts, (2003)- 115, (2004)- 109, (2005)- 106

Drew Stanton (2005, Michigan State)- 121 rushing attempts, (2006)- 110

Ben Roethlisberger (2001, Miami OH)- 120 rushing attempts

Kellen Clemens (2004, Oregon)- 118 rushing attempts

Shaun Hill (2001, Maryland)- 116 rushing attempts

Kyle Orton (2003, Purdue)- 112 rushing attempts

Josh Freeman (2008, Kansas State)- 108 rushing attempts

Caleb Hanie (2008, Colorado State)- 108 rushing attempts

Mark Brunell (1990, Washington)- 105 rushing attempts

Dennis Dixon (2005, Oregon)- 105 rushing attempts

Michael Vick (2000, Virginia Tech)- 104 rushing attempts

Matt Flynn (2007, LSU)- 100 rushing attempts

Four of the quarterback's started on a team that went to the playoff's.

This list is not based on how successful a particular quarterback is. This just goes to show you that there are quarterback's in the NFL that ran the ball at the college level. Now when someone comes back and tells me that none of the quarterback's ran as many times as Newton, my answer will be, "Newton is using a God given talent in speed and agility, if he doesn't use that talent he is only hurting himself. His ability to run the ball and run the ball as successful as he does makes him a legitimate threat."

The higher you go, the younger the guys get. This is indicating the shift from a pocket quarterback to a mobile quarterback in the future of the NFL.

So there you have it.

Note: By the standards of 105 rushing attempts or over equal’s failure, then Newton, Gabbert, Locker, Ponder, Dalton, and Kaepernick are all going to be failures. The only one that would succeed is the crack head Mallett haha.

I've only heard that from those who didn't like him before they saw the show. It's pretty obvious that he had an excellent grasp of the offense at Auburn. Not to mention the fact that the Panthers FO gave him a playbook and quizzed him on it during their meetings. If they're satisfied who is to say he can't pick it up?

[TheRealDeal]

There is a good chance that Mallett is the best out of everyone

I'll look in the observer archives or w/e but might be hard to find it was in jan/february.

found the link i think but the chat has been overridden by newer ones..I think there's some quotes of it somewhere on an inferior site though.

That's because the huggers ignore everything negative about Cam. If someone actually watches it and says he sounds intelligent they are lying. Watch Cam then watch Mallett, it's like they are talking about two different sports.

Google should work

I pray that you are kidding.

He has the biggest issues of all. Not showing up for a meeting? Seriously, you better be dead if you're not showing up for a meeting with an NFL team that could potentially draft you. That right there is classless.

Really? Someone needs to go back and learn a little more. Mallet didn't even answer or much less talk to his critics. Instead he was shooting up behind the stadium while Cam faced his critics and used his performance on the field to guide people's opinion of him.

[TheRealDeal]

He showed up, just could not continue.

Do you mean class or does he have the class of multiple people?
