Cam Newton's Potential: The Greatest Athlete in American Sports


Matthias

Recommended Posts

Cam Newton can be our Michael Jordan of football, and because football is the greatest american sport at the moment, Cam can be the greatest athlete in US sports! Had Cam ran a pro-offense at Auburn, he would already have this title coming in, but this is his potential. By now, we all know Cam Newton will be starting day one as long as he doesn't look terrible in pre-season play. (If we play the pre-season) I'm getting excited to see this kid play.:D

I've watched 30 years of Auburn football and in that time, Cam is the most exciting player to play at Auburn, except Bo Jackson.

Until the 3rd or 4th game neither the coaches or the fans realized the extent of the talent that Cam has. It was one hell of a ride last year. If Cam can take it to the next level, and I think he can, you have every reason to be excited.

The only thing he needs is good teaching and instruction. We know he has the mobility, and we know he's in good shape. If you combine that with the ability to direct an offense, I don't see why he shouldn't be the best QB in the game.

    • Smitty has a bit of the Chris Simms complex.  Became a personality, identified a mid rounder who became great (Kupp), and then ran on that juice for a while, as someone with that keen eye for talent.  But over time, the hit rate adjusts and you see he's not the best at it by any means.  And now they have a falsely built-up confidence in their evals and get all defensive about it.   It's all good.  I hope McMillan proves to be a top-WR in the league and shuts these knuckleheads up.  Now it's time to get this team rev'd up for a big improvement year.    
    • Yards aren't really a good measure alone. He was one of the best QBs in the league in that stretch in most categories but yardage, heh. He definitely was not Burrows but he was pretty good.  Averaged 210 yards passing, 20 yards rushing a game, plus 2 TDs a game.  I'd like to see him continue to improve, but projected over a season those games were just under 4k combined yards (~3600 passing), 35 TDs, 13 TOs. Good for a starter, though not superstar-esque. His raw passing numbers would have been top 15ish, but he proved himself rushing so I don't think that should be ignored.  For me personally I want to see the high level of play over a season. And he still sometimes has several series that are just total head scratchers - I'd like to avoid that, heh.  May be play calling there too.
    • Tepper hasn't changed, he's keeping his ego and bad decisions out of full public view.  Dave's just making the same bad decisions largely behind closed doors.  He's at least self aware enough to know he's not a fan favorite and that's why he's largely taken a back seat to media exposure.  I serious doubt it was some inflection moment, epiphany, course correction or humbleness that Dave had come to realize.
