Anyone worried about...

Rookie QB

So?

[Brandon494]

Newton does not have the authority to change plays at the line, Jaws as per espn stated that on the 77 yard scoring throw to Smith, Newton correctly read a cb blitz -- called the correct line protection -- slide to the right and hit Smith for a 77 yard td.

Rookie Freeman also correctly read defenses and torched the Packers in 2009.

IMO the board should not underestimate Newton.

Yea but he looks dumb so it's no way he'll be a good QB. Hes the next Jamarcus Russell IMO. They play nothing alike but they are both big black QBs who were taken with the first pick. He also took money in college which NEVER happens. That fake smile isn't fooling me, this guy is trouble.

Adding fuel to the fire -- "What was his wonderlic score?"

All good point, and typical of your thinking Brandon. It is a good thing you are not sarcastic in any way shape or form, otherwise someone might think this post did not mean exactly what you are saying.

Also when is Skinbasket going to call you a racist?

Obviously, it would be totally wrong to compare him to Jamarcus. Different style, mannerisms, etc.

Newton is obviously an outgoing self promoter. He attained a high level of success in a limited amount of time in Div I. He may or may not have booted his Wonderlific - I've seen reports of a single digit score, and of 21.

His playing style seems to be most like VY, less like Tebow. Another comparison might be Randall Cuningham? All of those guys had 4 year college careers though. I'm at a loss to think of another prominent QB that played his style (one read and run) in college.

He originally played for Florida in 2007...making 2010 his 4th year. Was he considered a senior???

I don't now where this post is going. In circles, apparently

His old OC at Auburn considered him smart, with a good vision and understanding of coverages and how to attack them.

Despite the PR problems before the draft, he may well have the makeup along with the tools to succeed. It's a good thing the Packers are getting him before he learns too much, but after there is some good game film on him. It's also good that the Packers have an extra few days of prep time to cover for the likely loss of Williams.

I see Cam Newton having a 'Charlie Batch' Moment on Sunday. Bush in coverage on Steve Smith! Exciting times

Don't get down on the guy. He still may win a game in his career. Just out of curiosity, how long has he been a black QB?

Only a couple of years, he tried being an Asian and a Hispanic QB before settling on being a Black one.

It is obvious that the media doesn't want an Asian quarterback to succeed, or by golly one would have succeeded.

Lester Kim, the kid from Green Bay, ready to pass his way into NFL history. What an awesome display!

Long Duk Dong was a heck of a prospect...

[Harlan Huckleby]

Hoo Flung Pu coulda been a contender

[RashanGary]

Afraid of Cam Newton. . . . At this point in his career?


Nope.
