He should be a competitor, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be entertained by watching him play.

Make no mistake, I hope seattle stays 20 picks away from this cat, but, I’m not going to make a big deal about him calling himself an entertainer and icon.

You can take into account poor route running by the receiver on occasion but there have been several bad passes. Coming from a spread offense he is going to have figure out the 3-5 step drops a lot better. I love how the NFL network which is garbage is saying he is so good, lol the media and so called experts ie Trent i got a ring because i was on the Ravens and thats it Dilfer are proping him up. Not even 2 months ago he was projected late 1st round now he is possibly top 5?? The entertainer can go to the skins and be a bust there I guess.

If Newton takes the Wonderlic, it’ll be interesting to see how he does.

He’ll be out of the league in 5 years, or be holding a clipboard in Oakland after a lackluster start in Dallas. Waster of talent.

I’ve said that for awhile though. I hope he gets drafted by AZ or SF.

The written statement? Speaking off the cuff is what got him in “trouble” in the first place. A written statement may have been the safest course of action, considering. That is, a guy who doesn’t need a written statement likely wouldn’t have said something as idiotic as “entertainer and icon” in the first place. (Honest, but idiotic for a guy with a checkered background to start with.)

“He did slip into third person a couple times – a no-no unless you have reached Deion Sanders and Kobe Bryant’s stratosphere in terms of super stardom.”

Lol, my girlfriend came home about the time the presser started and commented on that as well. She noted that for a guy who “pretends to be humble” he was awfully comfortable referring to himself in the third person. The again, if you want to be an icon, why not start before your career has even begun? lol

I want no part of him. I think he will be show boat and not a show up kind of guy. He thinks his talent is all he needs. No work ethic, no film study, understanding of what it takes to truly lead a team.

If people jump on his band wagon then guys we want will hopefully fall to us or draw a great trade down scenario.

Just my .02
