DC Grid Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 Auburn has called a lot of audibles, no idea if that's Cam or the coach though (I never watch college ball). Ok, that was a solid play. It's the coaching staff newton looks to the sideline every play for the audible call. He is literally only a body out there. No thinking allowed for any players on aub's offense. I've never really seen something like this.

Over 29 years of fanhood Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 If he is greatest QB talent ever in the history of man then i trust he will be picked up if still on the board @3.
Virgil Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 I'm gonna be honest. This game is boring the hell out of me. I'm not seeing anyone on this field worthy of a top 10 pick. This game is just plain sloppy. I know they have all had a month off, but still. Newton is erratic at best. Fairley looks about the same as the guy beside him I don't know. I feel like i've enjoyed every other bowl game so far more than this one
Talley56 Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 (edited) So can we now put the Cam Newton as our first pick talks to rest? Edited January 11, 2011 by Talley56
BuffaloRebound Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 So can we now put the Cam Newton as our first pick talks to rest? I am intrigued by his talent, but not at #3.
Nasty Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 I don't know about you guys but Newton didn't impress me at all...Fairly on the other hand..Can you imagine him next to Williams in our 4-3 set up..WOW
NoSaint Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 Cam did get that Gatorade towel out in time for camera shots - how long til he gets his own flavor
sfbillsfan Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 Agreed w/ most-Good college talent, but I'm not sure we need him. Better to go for some solid D player
Dr. Fong Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 I don't know about you guys but Newton didn't impress me at all...Fairly on the other hand..Can you imagine him next to Williams in our 4-3 set up..WOW Exactly my thoughts. The big loser tonight was Cam Newton. His performance cost him a lot of money.
Buffalo Barbarian Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 So you're saying you've only watched a couple of games and haven't looked at his stats? Gotcha. Stats are for losers and he has not impressed me all year and you will see when he does nothing in the league.
Buffalo Barbarian Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 So can we now put the Cam Newton as our first pick talks to rest? thank you!
Hapless Bills Fan Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 thank you! If only - I appreciate the sentiment though

No thinking allowed for any players on aub's offense. I've never really seen something like this. Then you havent watched much college football. A lot of teams run this offense where they line up, then everyone looks to the sideline where the Coaches are reading the defense and sending in play signals. There are many teams using this technique, including Oregon. It's not necessarily an audible call, its the actual play call/reads. Edited January 11, 2011 by DrDankenstein
Kipers Hair Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 He showed me enough to stay away in round 1 - the man CANNOT read a defense and is a 2-3 year NFL project.
dave mcbride Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 How many full games have you seen him play? I've seen a few. I'm not terribly impressed with how he projects as a pro. He's plenty elusive, although he has only shown flashes in this game. He's extremely powerful, and I honestly think it will translate to the NFL in so far as at 6'6" 250 and country strong, he will be able to break tackles and fall forward. This is not just an option QB, he's a freak. Don't get me wrong. I don't think he is anything close to a lock. I think he's a 50-50 prospect. If I were the Bills I would go defense and not him. So I'm not just a Newton bandwagoner. But what I do think is that he's a very accurate passer, with a cannon. He's nothing like Vince Young or Tebow because he's got NFL mechanics. I also find it pretty funny that people seem to blame him for guys getting wide open. Yet everyone is all over Fairly for two stud plays where no one blocked him at all. Newton's thrown 10 excellent passes in the first half, including half a dozen downfield on ropes. Both TDs were excellent passes (with the second one being a great play to avoid an unblocked rusher, step aside and open effortlessly then locate and throw accurately off one leg. He's 6'6" 250, runs a 4.5, has great balance, strength and escapability. Throws really well already on the run. We just have no idea if he can read NFL defenses and make quick enough decisions under NFL pressure. And we won't know it for a few years. I'm not seeing NFL mechanics. After witnessing Luck, the difference between him and Newton is night and day.
Beerball Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 Cam did get that Gatorade towel out in time for camera shots - how long til he gets his own flavor I see a huge Nike campaign with he and Bo Jackson. Something along the lines of his old "Bo knows" commercials.
flmike Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 I can't believe that was a national championship game.
VirginiaMike Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 He didn't make me a believer. IMO -- stay away
