DrDawkinstein Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 Because it is not real rumor. It is just an NFL blogosphere. And its posted 3 posts above 1billsfan's....
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 Newton would be an absolute STEAL at #3 overall. I have him ranked #2 on my big board, slightly behind Einstein but comfortably in front of Maxwell. I have Schrödinger going in my top 3 but I know many are going to call it a reach. Newton is a good "system" guy while Schrödinger understands the game on a whole different level.
RichardBag Posted February 10, 2011 Author Posted February 10, 2011 (edited) Another Buffalo Rumblings article on Cammer...two in 2 days from the boyz : Link "Buffalo Bills (No. 3): This might actually be a beneficial situation for Newton. The Bills have a quarterback that they think they can win with in Ryan Fitzpatrick, but their brain trust (GM Buddy Nix and head coach Chan Gailey) seem aware of the fact that he's not a long-term answer, as well. Here, Newton would be out of the spotlight for at least a year as he sat behind Fitzpatrick, worked with Gailey's coaching staff, and learned Gailey's offense. Buffalo has been looking for a franchise quarterback since Jim Kelly's retirement; they'd better be right if they pass on Newton."

Googling who the h3ll this "Schrödinger" dude is....but the Newton "system" guy was funny. Ahhh...haaaa....He's a Quantum Mechs baby daddy...lol Edited February 10, 2011 by RichardBag

IF we are looking at taking a QB, this is about as good of a situation as a rookie QB can come into. Now might just be the time.
RichardBag Posted February 10, 2011 Author Posted February 10, 2011 If anything, stay at #3 and get a big-time D player, then trade back into the first if Newton is still there, and get him. That way, we at least have a top 3 talent and have not wasted the pick. Or just take him at #3 and go D the rest of the way (with maybe an OT in there). I'd be seriously happy with either of these scenario's! Git "IT"!! Oh man, trading back in to the first...god, the nightmares of all the times we've done this before. LOL = Losman!!! I hear ya my man....but thank god were generally not good at anything draft related....albeit drafting our pick...drafting up/down....not even sure why we bother drafting when our sucess seems to be signing the undrafted!! Git "IT"
Thoner7 Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 http://www.draftinsider.net/blog/?p=4627 Read and wheep! take Newton!

McCargo Maybin Edited February 10, 2011 by jboyst62
Thoner7 Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 Newton at 3! Sign me up. Id still consider a trade down first though. Hopefully for 2012 draft picks.
DrDawkinstein Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 and... McCargo Maybin We traded back into the first for Maybin?
Bangarang Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 Any idea how Newton looks during the media workout? There's gotta be members of the media there updating their twitter feeds!
DrDawkinstein Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 Any idea how Newton looks during the media workout? There's gotta be members of the media there updating their twitter feeds! It started at 1pm so we should be getting some reports soon...
Bangarang Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 It started at 1pm so we should be getting some reports soon... But I want them now..
RichardBag Posted February 10, 2011 Author Posted February 10, 2011 WOW!!!! Apparently this was Dilfer's reaction to what he witnessed: "ESPN's Trent Dilfer on Cam Newton's workout today - "That was phenomenal. If scouts saw this they'd have been slobbering." #NFL" I think this was twittered, so no link yet guys. Git "IT"!!
RichardBag Posted February 10, 2011 Author Posted February 10, 2011 New Buffalo Bills blog post out: Link "if there is anything we know about Buffalo head coach Chan Gailey, it’s that he understands how to be creative with unique/dynamic offensive weapons. Newton is a talent who needs work, but has the skill set to thrive in Buffalo, and Gailey is the kind of coach who can get the most out of him the quickest." Apparently National Football Post has its new mock draft out and has us selecting I-Tee....link here: Link

Apparently National Football Post has its new mock draft out and has us selecting I-Tee....link here: Link Agreed, and Ive said before, imagine Newton-Jackson-Spiller in the backfield running Gailey's triple option!! It's a gimmick, sure, just like the wildcat. But its another big wrinkle for D's to worry about. It's almost like that stars are aligning for Newton to come to Buffalo.
FluffHead Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 The Cam Newton hype train is officially rolling!! Let's hope it gets off in Buffalo and doesn't soar all the way to Carolina
stony Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 Any idea how Newton looks during the media workout? There's gotta be members of the media there updating their twitter feeds! I put this in the other Newton thread, but Dilfer said these things, and i paraphrase... -Physically imposing, Dilfer said he's 6'4" 240 and Cam dwarfs him -sound mechanics, nothing needs an overhaul -threw every pass in the book into a stiff breeze, said there was 4 drops because of zip on ball -nothing short of amazing when asked his overall impression -top 5 pick
LabattBlue Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 I'd be fine with Newton as long as it isn't Ralph's pick where he overrides everyone else and the draft board grades.
DrDawkinstein Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 I'd be fine with Newton as long as it isn't Ralph's pick where he overrides everyone else and the draft board grades. Very good point, and I agree with that even as someone in the Newton camp. I like Newton, but trust Nix, Whaley and Co. to make the decision. If we do draft him, I want it to be their choice, not Ralph's.
