Cam Newton is Black!

[Guiness]

Where those the same people who thought Brady Quinn and Matt Leinart where going to be stars? LOL

2006 was a tough year to be taking a QB.

VY, Leinart and Cutler in the first round. Cutler the most accomplished of the bunch, having been a starter on a playoff team (not exactly a high water mark).

After that, it's looking like the #2 QB out of that draft was Bruce Gradkowski!

[Zool]

Who said it was racist? Huh? Both are horrible comparsions which are based off skin color by fans who dont actually watch games and base their opinion from watching sportscenter highlights.

Warren Moon did. Are you paying attention? It seems like you're defending his position.

[Zool]

No, you idiot. It's prejudiced based on skin color. Which is entirely different than racism. Entirely. Only some bumbling white cornhole like you could be so clueless about it all... probably because you'll never know what it's like to live in a black man's skin. I say probably, because you act a little strange sometimes and there are some large black folk out there you could easily fit into. Cam Newton will probably be one of them in about 5 years...

Look at the tongue on that guy. I'd like to crawl all up in his business.

[get louder at lambeau]

I dont know about scouts but a few people on this board have already compared him to J Russell even though their games are nothing alike. I think he'll be similar to VY without being a headcase. Won't have pretty stats but he's going to win you some football games.

If you haven't noticed, Jamarcus Russell has taken over Ryan Leaf's old position as biggest QB draft bust ever. They are talking about potential bust level, not skin color or playing style. At least that's how I read it.

There is a lot to like about Cam Newton's physical size and arm. There are some concerns about his accuracy and the ability to make all of the NFL throws from what I've heard. I suspect the interview portion of the combine will help some GMs discern whether or not he has the head to make it as an NFL quarterback. I think how you really feel about him--as a Packer fan--can be discovered by deciding whether or you want him to end up in the NFC North. If you are confident he'll be a bust than let him play for Minnesota.

I'm far from an expert on Newton, but I have a feeling he might be a little bit dumb. Not from his skin color, Brandon, but by the spazzy-puppy look on his face. Same kind of look as Jarrett Bush has.

I wouldn't lose much sleep if he went to Minnesota. I doubt he's the next Peyton Manning, and even if he ends up being a good one, it will probably take a few years. In the mean time, he'd be thrown into the fire of a desperate franchise with no QB, behind a questionable OL, in a division full of elite pass rushers. I could see the Packers' INT stats going up from playing Cam Newton twice a year this year and next.

Haha so you can now tell how smart someone is by looking at their face huh?

"Cam Newton may not be a genius, but he is certainly smart enough to play in the NFL.

The Auburn quarterback scored a 21 on his Wonderlic Test at last month’s NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis according to ESPN’s Chris Mortensen.

Newton is among the candidates to be No. 1 overall pick at this year’s draft. And while his score is slightly below the historical average for quarterbacks (24), it’s not going to be enough to scare off a team from drafting him.

Other notable Wonderlic Test scores from this year’s quarterback crop: Jake Locker – 20, Ryan Mallett – 26, Andy Dalton – 29, Ricky Stanzi – 30, Christian Ponder – 35, Blaine Gabbert – 42 and Greg McElroy – 43.

Notable historic Wonderlic Test scores: Dan Marino and Jim Kelly – 15, Peyton Manning and Drew Brees – 28 and John Elway – 29."

Yea I've noticed that Russell sucks. Unlike Russell Cam has an excellent work ethic and comes from a football family. If not for the scandal with his dad taking money which happens ALL THE TIME no one would be questioning if he'll be bust. Even if this dude fails at QB he could play TE in NFL, that's how physically gifted this guy is. Same can't be said about Russell, all he had was a big arm.

[Brando19]

Is the entire situation really any different than people comparing Jimmer Fredette to JJ Redick? Is that racist too?

Exactly! Those sons a bitches. Why couldn't they have compared Jimmer Fredette to Derek Fisher or another black guard? Racist ass holes. Where you at Warren Moon? Jesse Jackson?

[get louder at lambeau]

You can't tell anything about people from a first impression? That sucks for you. I can. My first impressions of people are usually pretty good. Look at them, hear them talk, form a basic opinion. It's not exactly Miss Cleo stuff, and I have pretty good luck with it.

Haha you just don't get it but the again you are from WV

Yeah, uh, I think you totally missed my point, Brandon. As I already said, I think they were trying to illustrate how big of a bust they thought Newton would be with the Russell mention. He's the poster boy of busts, so that's why he's used, not because of specific similarities between the two players.

[Tony Oday]

Cam Newton will be out of football in three years five at the outside.

[Brando19]

Ok...and you are from VA? Honestly...you don't get it. I guess blacks will play the race card until the end of time and other blacks will defend it.

Brandon494...this was sarcasm by the way.
