I dunno, to me youd have to do a thorough survey of his personality and how much he works at the game and if he does that Id take him. If he seems to be lazy or not watch film or seems like the type to slack off after he gets paid.... dont get Jamungus again. | ||

To be fair, I haven't watched Newton in college, because I don't watch NCAA Football, so he might be the guy to silence the doubters. Until he silences me, I will continue to doubt. | ||

So far, we have McNabb, and to a lesser degree, Vick. Vick still has a lot to prove, and McNabb was only a moderately better passer than Vick on the intermediate routes. It seems that they all suffer from the same flaw. They have big arms, and can hit the deep ball quite often, and they can throw screen passes, flairs, etc, fairly well, but on the 10-15 yard ins, outs, posts, crosses, and slants, they have miserable statistics. Until I see a guy that can hit those passes, I don't think believe they'll succeed. To be fair, I haven't watched Newton in college, because I don't watch NCAA Football, so he might be the guy to silence the doubters. Until he silences me, I will continue to doubt. Newton is a great runner. And he's definitely a better passer than Vick and Vince Young. But I still think that what hurt Tebow will hurt Newton: mechanics, and not being in a pro-style offense. There have been some good mobile QBs though (though they didn't run like Newton does), like Randall Cunningham. | ||

Also, I could have sword that I read an article recently saying that Auburn runs a very limited system that maximizes his skillset, in the same way that Texas ran like just four plays with Young. That should be more concerning than anything. Alex Smith was a cunt that only halfway resembled a football player in shotgun. Pretty much any Ubran Meyer QB was like that. A lot of college qbacks come out with a very limited experience in anything run at a pro level | ||

Ron Rivera just got hired as the head coach of the panthers http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=6011884 Thoughts? He headed some solid defenses in Chicago and San Diego. I never really understood why the Bears let him go in 2007, but that Panthers team needs a LOT of work... | ||

I think it's inevitable when you begin discussing the draft, to be honest. @KOF Not sure about how he is as a head coach but he's as strong a candidate as any with no prior head coaching experience. | ||

Oh I know, I just hate college football, so I like to discuss the players, but not the college plays, which doesn't really make sense. I just hate how simplistic the game is at the college level. What actually sparked that was thinking about Newton bowling over an MLB in college. I'd LOVE to see a QB put his shoulder down against Urlacher, Lewis, or Willis. They'd probably be out for the game, but this punk in college got run the fuck over. : ( I think that it's about damn time Rivera got his chance. He's strengthened two mediocre defenses, and turned them into top-end defenses. Moreover, he's shown versatility as a play caller, adapting to his personnel in both situations, shown by running both a 4-3 C2 scheme, and a 3-4 scheme. I think that overall, players respect him both for his coaching, and his experience as a former player. I think Rivera, and probably Fewell were the top choices as head coaches this season. Maybe Harbaugh, but time will tell what type of success he can have at the pro level. | ||

But yeah, I agree with what SL said before. Newton basically has one read on each play or take off. There's no progressions at all, it seems. Rivera is deserving, considering the carousel of assclowns that are on the NFL coaching circuit. | ||
