Cam Newton is the truth.
I am convinced the people who don't think he is going to be a good NFL player haven't seen him play multiple games and are using generalizations to shade their opinion rather then watching the games. He is alot more accurate as a thrower (especially down field) then he is given credit for and his running style is more conducive to the NFL then a Tim Tebow type.
Most of the reasonings for not liking him are he has only played in a spread and has only played for one year. But my question is what could he have done to help either of those things, and aren't those more caution flags and areas to look deeper into rather then using them as a reason to knock him out all together?
They don't make athletes like this at the QB position and he is accurate and has a natural arm slot to boot. Plus he is very charasmatic and a leader among his teammates.
I am not sure the character concerns are as big as people think, and while they should be checked out, they aren't assaults, or rapes, or even drugs.
One issue was an eligibility issue and one was a supposed cheating issue.
He is not without flaw, but if you get the chance to draft a player with his combination of skill, production, and at the most important position in sports....you do it every time.
And hopefully we are not picking this high going forward.
