ESPN Say's Newton To Enter Draft

[Shadowbyte]

After watching Newton's workout yesterday I'm convinced that this man wants to be the best he can be. And he looked damn good too. I know it's alot easier when there's not an actual pass rush, however he looked remarkable. I just hope he's still there at number 10 when we pick.

Aftere watching him work out on TV, you were able to discern what is in his mind and his level of motivation?

Actually yes, how else am I able to evaluate an athelete I don't personally know? If you can direct me as to how I can forumulate a sound opinion devoid of any visual or printed media then I'm all ears. :confused:

Did you bother to listen to his interview? Did you bother to listen to the details about the amount of work he's putting into his off season regimen? Based on what I heard and observed, his actions convinced me that this kid wants to be the best he can be.

total different story when someone is throwing an zone blitz at you. workouts in tee shirts and shorts does nothing for me.

If I was a GM and was looking for a QB I wouldn't even attend the pro day workouts.

Sure it's useful if you want to get a look at a LB prospect, but evaluating a QB in a choreographed rehearsal is close to useless and is probably one of the reasons these talent evaluating clowns are always blowing it on bust QB's.

That's one of the reasons I am pretty intrigued by Jake Locker. Go watch the guy play in real lives games against the pro farm team USC over the last two years.

Thats how I evaluate college QB's.

JaMarcus Russell had the best workout that the scouts had ever seen. Not saying. Just saying.


I'm going on record and saying that whoever picks sCam Newton in the first round is going to be set back 3-5 years. Said the same thing about Tebow, and Vince Young too.
