Dockett on Cam Newton.

[Mulli]

If I had DD's money, I would have given up on grammar a long time ago.

 

[Southpaw]

Then maybe he should put fewer m's in Hmmmmm. Then he could have also correctly spelled "ass" and "the" and "in town."

The first part is a statement not a question so his use of a question mark is wrong.

Twitter has done wonders for the English language.

Wow. Not many of us seem to take pride in being decipherable by the masses. I guess I am too old and too demographically narrow, but then I closed my twitter account 2 weeks after opening it, 2 years ago.

Researched the I'ma and it seems to have originated with Kanye West's rant on Taylor Swift.

I believe Gee! originated Imma and Kanye borrowed his idea and changed it slightly.

It is a messaging sytem that allows account holders to notify followers about their latest bowel movement and the bologna snadwich they ate that led to the BM.

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.

.

as somebody not on the Camwagon:

My concerns for him as an NFL QB:

He is in a one read, then run passing attack. I fear the learning curve will be quite steep in terms of reading NFL defenses and running a NFL offense

He has played only one year of college football. Experience, even at that level, matters. Vick had two years. Tebow had two+ years. Vince Young had 3 years.

So -- I see at least three years before he would be transformed from a running QB that can pass into an every down passing Qb.

BTW: I think pretty much the same thing about Jake Locker, with the exception that he has had 4 years of experience, so it would take 2 years.

No but I gave Gee a Mohawk once and he let me finish without interrupting me to tell me Supercuts is better, so I don't think they're the same person.

When did I'ma become a word in the English language.

Never but to call something illiterate and unreadable would be something impossible to read. You know I'ma means im gonna, its simple slang, not illiteracy.

Ima has been used long before kanye west

Never knew I'ma before I read it here, but then people in my social circle don't either. Guess that makes me a white honky elitist, and I don't follow any tweeters.

 

[JCSunsfan]

Watch the game on Monday, Cam is excellent at handing the ball off from shot gun formation (not that it's hard or any thing). That is Whiz's favorite run play, it's a lock.

Yep. His throwing and running will make it so much easier for an o-line. Rushers will have to contain as well as get to the qb, and if there is the slightest seam open in the front of the pocket, linebackers will have to drop off backs and tight end coverage to avoid Cam scampering for a 1st.

Nice Vizsla btw. I've got one of those.

 

[DoTheDew]

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?

Doesn't really matter if he couldn't do anything to help those things. Doesn't change the fact that he hasn't done them. I think he might be a really good player. Just not next season. I'd be WAY more comfortable drafting him if we manage to sign a good vet QB in March. I just don't want another ugly season due to inadequate QB play.

At least Vince Young has a national championship unlike Terrelle Pryor...

 

[RonF]

I would be more interested in what Cam Newton thinks about DD's lack of play since he got that large contract.

maybe your just old!

Ive been using ima for a long time...it works

Anyway, I have seen horribly illiterate tweets by dockett, just found it surprising to call out one of his most legible ones.

stats are good, no question about it.

the difference is that NFL people got to watch Sanchez put those stats up in an offense and style of play similar to what is run in the NFL.

Newton will have to run a new offense -- but more importantly -- a completely new style of play.

If "I'ma is code for "I am gonna", what is a "gonna"?

This pretty much sums it up for me also. I have seen him play several times. A
project for sure. Even if the off the field stuff doesn't bother you.

BIM I am going to.
