The run sets up the pass in that high tempo spread. It feels like 4 out of every 5 plays is a freaking run and defense still are lucky if they contain the run .. they'll sell out and the pass should be open.

Put that guy in a pro style offense against an NFL defense and make him beat defenses with his 68 IQ.

Mike Vick is a different breed - and this guy is no Mike Vick. Mike Vick is easily the greatest college QB I've ever seen. He ran a pro style offense at Virgina Tech .. and he didn't run the ball with smoke and mirrors out of high tempo option spread. Florida State had a great defense - and he made them look like monkeys on broken plays - and well defended drop back passes.

I think Newton could be an outstanding NFL player - just not as a QB. You have to have smarts and true dedication to be an NFL QB... or be named Mike Vick .. and he ain't no Mike Vick.

Don't get me wrong- I'm not saying this guy is the next anything. I only think he will have a shot at playing qb because of his size and athleticism.

I haven't seen enough of him to know one way or the other. The niffle certainly hasn't bee kind to spread qbs.

Bama will beat them in the iron bowl
