Possible Problem with Cam Newton

I didn't care for Cam Newton at the beginning of the college football year. I thought he was over-hyped. I was dead wrong. He proved to be one of the greatest college athletes of the last decade. I thought he was a straight, running quarterback, but his passing skills proved better than I could have ever expected.

Newton could possibly be the first pick overall in this spring's NFL draft. He is definitely a work-in-process quarterback that will need a lot of work before strong success in the NFL, but I do feel that he will eventually succeed. However, this little clip from Jon Gruden's QB confidential irked me quite a bit.

I first saw this clip on Czabe.com, written by excellent radio host Steve Czaban. Newton could not remember a complicated play call off the top of his head, and then he stated that his offense was "simplistic for fast."

If I were a GM or fan for one of the top teams in the draft, I would shudder a little bit hearing that phrase. It's common knowledge that Cam Newton has relative inexperience under center and is not familiar with pro-style offenses. Now, we may be able to add "inexperience with complicated play-calling" to his list of phopas.

This is the complicated play-calling that Newton will be facing come September (hopefully). I hope that he will be able to pick it up quickly because I honestly hope he does well. Cam Newton is a one-of-a-kind athlete, and I hope he can evolve in to a one-of-a-kind quarterback.

GAUNTLET THROWN DOWN!

Right now, it seems like the SNO Tap Family is like the Jersey Shore house.  We have one side that is Sam and Ronnie while the other side is the rest of the cast.  As the Sitch attempted to the day after the fight, I will try to bring us back together.  Only kidding.  I love the cattiness that is being displayed right now and hopefully it goes until it becomes like a WWE match where it's loser goes home match, where one has to quit. Anyways, I don't know why you guys keep squabbling when you can just put a poll question about who is better Tom Brady or Peyton Manning. Voting goes a week, the loser owns the winner the shot of their choice at the bar of their choice.

Tom Brady voters here...                   VS.       Peyton Manning  voters here.    

This is why I am awesome.

Tom Brady is the Most Overrated Quarterback in NFL History (Continued)

Well, Eric, Charlie, and Pat............I'm not the only person who feels that Tom Brady is overrated.

Feel free to leave your ill-conceived, ring-biased, Manning-bashing, emotion-driven responses below. I welcome it.
