Here is Newton's scouting report. Cam Newton NFL Draft scouting report - Mocking The Draft That says failure all over it doesn't it?
All I see are poor examples and empty excuses to why he's going to fail. I don't care if you don't like him... I don't either. But if you're going to sit behind your computer and have a knowledgeable debate about a player, at least bring something to the table. |

Against 10 quality opponents he has avg 194.8 PaYds... That's what I'm looking at statitically; and if you watched the games, the film tape, there's no way I'd draft this bum in the first round... Compounded with the fact of character - He left Florida to avoid being kicked out for cheating/academic fraud; then there's the Ms State shakedown that he and his father are involved... Sure like to get a look at his Wonderlic Score, but we want to maintain players privacy and allow them to remove all doubt they're morons until they are interviewed on television... This is Vince Young Redux, speaking of which... You mentioned Mocking the Draft - This is what I read from the Scouting Report Decision making: ...Comes out of Gus Malzahn's spread option where he doesn't have to make multiple reads. Doesn't anticipate a receiver's route that well. Field vision: Here is where Newton is going to need the work. A lot of Auburn's passes came on receivers running double moves and deep crosses. ...a lot of Newton's passes come on the first read. When it's not there, the offense called for him to pull the ball and run. Since teams stacked the box... Newton didn't see a lot of complex coverages...He did early against Oregon ...got into trouble. He'll have to spend a lot of time in the film room to learn how to pass against defenses with good secondary play and an array of coverages. Mechanics: Has an awkward throwing motion and will need to adjust his release point. Has a throwing motion very similar to Vince Young's... And that's quoting Your citation, my friend... Yeah, you draft this guy in Round 1... |
It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

You did read the whole report right? You picked his one flaw and you're harboring on it. Forgive me if I continue to believe you are absolutely bias on the matter.
Newton rarely put his receivers in bad position and didn't throw the ball a lot into double coverage. He just needs to get faster making decisions in the passing game. We'll address that with your next statement as well... as it's virtually the same thing.
He's 21 years old... there aren't many, if any, quarterbacks that come straight into the NFL without many flaws. Look at Jimmy Clausen who scored a good Wonderlic, ran a pro style offense in college, was able to do a hell of a job improvising and making his reads... yet was a complete failure in his first season in the NFL. He didn't have all these so-called mechanical issues either. Just saying.
And just to point out, I never once pointed out where he should be drafted. My point is that he has all the physical tools one would want to be a successful NFL quarterback. His size, strength, speed, and athleticism are what people drool for... which obviously to one, the recipe for failure. |

Jamarcus Russell, Vince Young both had great physical tools; there game just doesn't translate to the NFL Game...
As was pointed out in the scouting report we're discussing, Newton's passing success was to pass to the wide open receiver or pull it down and run... Look the scouting report you cited says he'll be the most polarizing player coming out because of the physical tools he possesses but he that he has struggled when some of the college defenses schemed complex defenses similiar to a pro-style D... I didn't cite/quote all the negatives or questions about his game from your report due to length, but there are too many red flags to warrant a draft pick on this guy... Twenty-one or not, you come ready to play or you're gone... I will say this though, it was a good scouting report you cited... |

A little more on how much of a freak Cam Newton is... If he doesn't succeed in the NFL, I'd venture to say it definitely won't be because of his God given physical talent. |

I thought this was telling, and supported by the back and forth on the matter...
