He definitely doesn't have nearly the charisma Newton had though. Although I don't think Brady or Manning are very charsimatic either.

I personnel don't want either of them espicially at 10. It would be a huge reach for both in my opinion

Also to me, just by looking at him and hearing him speak he does come across as the type of guy that does drugs.

Sure he doesn't want to talk about it, but the rumors have been there for a while. Like the one reporter said, he's going to have to address it at some point, so he might as well just answer the questions. I mean, Cam Newton knows he's going to get grilled about his red-flags. You simply have to man up and answer the tough questions. That what these interview sessions are all about.

Plus, how about his smart-ass, arrogant response to questions about his on the field decision making: “Seven thousand-plus yards and 60 touchdowns in two seasons. That’s how I respond to that.”

Really, Ryan? That's very mature of you.

Side note- A friend of mine who is also a co-worker is an Arkansas native/alumnus. He told me over a year ago about the rumors that Mallett is a big fan of the nose candy. This stuff has been floating around about him for a while.
