Cam Newton: The Real Deal?

As far as Cam Newton goes he benefited highly from teams not knowing anything about him or his new coach and their game plan. My guess is you will see a new Cam Newton in Week 2, especially if T. Williams plays. Even if Tramon doesn't play Newton will encounter something he has never seen before. My guess is he will throw 1 TD or less, 2 INT's, and get sacked 3 times minimum this weekend. I guess we will see....

He played better than I thought he would however Tramon Williams didn't play and that was a huge factor for the pack. He made a lot of rookie mistakes (3rd and goal especially). He was sacked 4 times threw 3 INT's, threw 1 TD and ran for 1 somewhat meaningless TD. Yardage is becoming a ridiculous fantasy stat in the NFL and is not a true reflection of how good someone actually played. I would take 250 yrds passing 3 TD's and 0 INT's over the game Newton had. With all that said Newton is playing much better than I would have thought at this stage in his rookie year. Credit has to be given to his O-line. He had a lot of time back there on Sunday

I think people root for unethical, evil scumbags. How else can you explain this thread?

Father a preacher who prostitutes their son for money? It's all good.

Pampered star has a sketchy past? It's all good.

All hail Satan!!

Oh gosh...that was good.

Brady.

That is a QB. Newton (0-2) has been electric, so has Vick (1-1). Watch Brady for numbers, wins and how to do the job right regardless of supporting cast mates.
