In time teams started to figure out ways of taking parts of that game away and forced him to try to beat them with the pass. As you pointed out, that was his weakness and eventually cost him his job.
Lamar, on the other hand, has the shiftiness of a RB and can still throw accurately from either in the pocket or on the move. Kap was always more angular, and while more allusive than most QB's, no where near as elusive as Lamar, or for that matter, Deshaun Watson or Kyler Murray. |

I guess what I’m saying is if the ingredients are right he can be successful in the league. He’s talented enough to start in the NFL. He always was. No one can convince me he wouldn’t be better than Mason Rudolph or Jeff Driskel.

6’4” 230 lbs. That’s solid. Just an inch shorter and 15 lbs. lighter than Newton. |

He reminds me of a black Trump. Never admit guilt. Keep in the public eye whatever it takes. See. It has nothing to do with color and everything to do with perception and building it around whatever lies best fit your scenario. |

Re: Saints won’t be at Colin Kaepernick’s workout
You think he'd last as long as Newton playing the same type of game? Newton is a freak and it has still taken a major toll on his body. I get where you're trying to go, but put Newton and Kap side by side in a pair of shorts and tell me which one you would rather be hit by.
