I like this kid, but

Cam Newton -

no big whoop - doesnt mean jack to any of you or him but I am eating my own crow when I say I really didnt like taking him as our first pick this year. Thought he was overated and arrogant. Its easy like Newton after slinging it for over 400 this first game, but taking a good look at some of the video - the guy just seems to love the game - enjoys the physicality of it and the brutality - and thats the sort of player I like - I didnt see that coming before from him.

Should he put up some dismal numbers the rest of the season I am still going to be behind him.

My one concern is how many hits hes taking - sure hes a big guy and young and strong - but between sacks, and hits this past week, his dive over the top ( 2x), plus his solo tackle - he went to the the ground over 20 times - thats a beating for any qb- our o line needs to really step it up and give him some protection and he needs to start protecting himself or he will get hurt and then we are all in for some very dismal games.
