tsylvester Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 So, he will be on prime time tonight, big game against the Ducks. Has anyone seen him play? I've only watched the high lights of his games. One should not judge a player based soley on highlights, but if I did, man oh man is he gonna be eaten alive in the pros. From what I have seen, his delivery is slow and deliberate, not much zip on the ball. Sure, he can technically make all the throws in the NFL, but with little if any zip on the ball, bat downs, pick-sixes in his future. I know the talking heads have compared him to Elway, but only so far as to say that he plays for Cards and is more NFl ready, as Elway was...Frankly, he reminds me very much of Joe Montanna, Wekp, we should geta good look at him tonight.

papasmurfbell Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 I see that he can move and has crisp throws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BengalBilly Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Luck can't carry Cam Newtons jock. Newton went to a poor team and still put up big numbers. I doubt Luck could come close to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papasmurfbell Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Well if the Dolts get him he very well could. Also I want to see how Newton does when teams start to adapt to him. Can he readapt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papasmurfbell Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 True I just don't say you are a bust after a yr or two or a world beater after that long. I want to see a range of work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsylvester Posted November 13, 2011 Author Share Posted November 13, 2011 two things. Papa, notice his stick throws, all in front of him. Most people, other than an eagles punter, can make that throw. I'm talkin the deep out, the wr slip screen, even an out pattern 10 yards down field, on the opposite side of the field. as I said, I've not seen much of his games, other than the high lights, so perhaps tonight he can show some real arm strenth. As for Cam, i've never seena quarterback go from so far inaccurate to where he is now in just a week or two.... Unreal. We are not talking about inches here, going from the broud side of a barn to a barn door..... No, we are going from him not being able to hit a barn to him putting it in a tin cup at 100 yards. He is amazing. I do have a theorey, but need to see more interviews with him. I honestly think he has aspergers. It would make perfect sense for him to master the NFL game so quickly, after being so inacurate... either way, he is fun to watch and yes, I do think he will do this against defense that are fast & good.... His accuracy is that good and the speed of his passes is incredible.... He has touch when he needs it, one special talent there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tsylvester Posted November 13, 2011 Author Share Posted November 13, 2011 Thanks BB,............ Who ever runs that field at Stanford should be ashamed. These supposed experts think they can just toss sod down and have it playable in a week are nuts; a waste of money. It only looks good for tv, they are better off playing on a terrible looking field.... I won't judge Luck on one game, and I do agree with Kirk, the kid has no one to work with to show off the arm. Even so, I would not spend a number one on him at this point................ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papasmurfbell Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 As many drops as he had on him last night was a shame. His team last yr was far better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
