Vick: Panthers’ Newton will revolutionize the game

Michael Vick knows a thing or two about what it’s like to be a No. 1 overall pick expected to change the way the QB position is played. So it’s no wonder he has a strong opinion on what Panthers rookie QB Cam Newton is doing this year in Carolina.

Vick sat down with Panthers WR Steve Smith for Friday’s edition of NFL Network’s “NFL Total Access,” and the open-ended conversation quickly turned to the record-setting numbers Newton is putting up for the Panthers.

“I think the sky is the limit for this kid,” said Vick. “I think he’s going to change the game. I think he’s going to revolutionize the game in such a way that I did — only being bigger, stronger and more physical. The way he’s played has been phenomenal.”

Newton definitely has the size advantage on Vick — Newton’s 6-foot-5, 248-pound frame dwarfs the 6-foot, 215-pound Vick — but even the Eagles QB didn’t expect Newton to enjoy this much success this soon.

“I talked to him right before the opening week of the season, and I just told him to go out there and have fun,” Vick said. “He’s far exceeded what I thought he was going to be, and what the world thought he was going to be. And it’s a credit to Cam.”

Smith, who has enjoyed his own career re-birth this season with 72 catches for 1,299 yards and six touchdowns, maintained the same stance he’s taken the whole season in regard to Newton: His big-time play is no surprise for those who get to see him work on a daily basis.

“I’m not shocked,” Smith said. “During the lockout I had an opportunity down here in Carolina to work out with him privately a few times. I was able to see what he can do — amazed to see the things he could do and also see how much room he had to grow. … I saw his willingness to work hard (and) I’m not really surprised or shocked.”

Watch Vick and Smith on “NFL Total Access” Friday at 7 p.m. ET.

    • I like that a lot; Ware from Troy and also Khalil Mack who played at University of Buffalo
    • I remember the Huddle consensus over the course of last season and the previous one. Lots of Bryce is a bust, we should've drafted a 4th slot WR, should've kept Wilks, should've kept an armless Cam, etc etc. So... yea... already thought about that. I wouldn't trust the Huddle to detail my car, let alone run a multi-billion dollar professional sports team. 😛
    • bold prediction, I think Mike Green will be the best pass rusher in this class, and thats even with abdul carter.  He reminds me of demarcus ware, not just in size and prowess, but even coming from a Sunbelt school (Ware from Troy, Green from Marshall).  I think he is passionate about the sport where I think Carter as the physical freak might not have the heart.  Thats the guy Im sold on and am gonna hammer the table for, I know he's not projected 8, but he is projected like 12-13, so if a slide back can happen and we still get the guy I want, I'm 100% on board. All that said, it takes 2 to tango, I think the Cowboys are the tango-er.  IMO theres a VERY good shot that Jeanty is available at 8.  Why does that matter?  Not only do the cowboys NEED a runningback (dak sucks without a run game), but MORE importantly, gee where did Jeanty play in high school.....Frisco TX, literally Dallas Metro.  Soo, RB is a position of need and the best RB and most blue chip draft selection that  could improve the offense immensly played IN dallas metro AND will be in range for them to move up and pick?  Do ya think Jerry Jones is gonna just say no to the Jersey Sales?  Jerry might have sexually assaulted a woman and attempted to prevent black people from going to school, but he's no idiot (he is).  IMO, we get a good enough package, prlly their first and third,  maybe a conditional later and we move to 12.  We get Green, they get Jeanty, everbuddy happy.
