Anyone worried about...

[Guiness]

Yeah, but that is the point of my complaint. Regardless of the validity of the call, Newton showed he has the talent to play in the NFL. 442 yards or 330 yards, he has it. And one call or one throw that theoretically should not have been made doesn't change what he showed. Henne has previous demonstrated he does not possess the talent or mind to succeed in the NFL.

Its complaining about the wind in a hurricane. Seeing trees but no forest. In other words, missing the point.

Fair enough, and the question you ask is one I'm curious about as well. Does he have the talent? I didn't watch the game, so I don't know how he achieved it. As I mentioned earlier in the thread, S. Smith obviously had a hell of a night.
You're saying he has it, so you must have watched and been left with the impression that this was not a matter of the planet aligning perfectly for him that day.

His comparison to McNair is interesting.

Never been to a KKK meeting, have to take your word for it.

I figured a skinhead like you would have already been a member.

Only to be toppled by a younger, faster player

Just saw the highlights, so I can claim no special insight. But it would seem to bode well for him. He clearly can play the game at a high level.

However, if he doesn't progress, he could simply be Jeff George, Jeff Blake or Derek Andersen, all arm and deep throws and not much else. One game doesn't answer all the questions, it just makes me want to see him.

I'm looking forward to seeing him tomorrow as well; should be interesting.

lol @ JG reference. Forever the poster child for unfulfilled potential. Great (short) runs he had in Oakland then Minnesota.

Newton doesn't finish the game.

Newton doesn't finish the game.

So you're saying he is gonna blow the Pack out and sit early in the 4th?

Jaws has been wrong before, but for a single play diagnosis, I would be hard pressed to argue with him. If true, the confusing him might be possible on blitzes and pressure.

But, this is still not reading a coverage.

On the pregame show, Eugene Robinson disagrees with you. According to Robinson, the Cardinals blitzed Newton 60 percent of the time. Cam correctly found the hot receiver numerous times.

Eugene mentioned how looks off receivers and comes back to certain receivers.

three minutes into the game...and the answer is YES! DAMMIT!!

[MadtownPacker]

Went down exactly how I thought it would. What about you Brandon?

[red]

dude proved me wrong

guys got the skills, he'll be a good pro i think

Nope, didn't think he'd throw for 400+ yards again.

If anything, he looked more capable today than his highlights last week. But his misses were intercepted more often.

His next step isn't his brain. Its making his footwork more regular and his throw more reliable as he slides around the pocket.

He is already big enough to stand in, not worry about the hit and deliver the ball.

I hear ya, I thought he would only throw two picks.

But I am worried about his knee. Looked a little shaky at the end there. He kept making these hard cuts. Need him to be full strength for the rest of the NFC north.

But your boy did ok man, he made it exciting.

He's at this place where he will either grow into the role or start to fall apart if he can't get the technical stuff fixed and win some games. It's gonna be an interesting year.

I think they need to rely on him a little less. More checkdowns and running game, less option stuff with the QB and long throws.
