Not after the comments he made yesterday regarding wanting to be an entertainer and an icon and then basically stating that he accomplished more in 14 games than most people do in 4 years ... I don't think these are the types of comments that Ron Rivera and Carolina are going to swoon over when faced with having to pay $40 million plus guaranteed for a No. 1 pick. He may back up his comments, but you'd like to see him say something like "I want to be the best QB in the NFL and work real hard, blah, blah, blah" than a Hollywood icon.

Wont be making that much... The new CBA will put a limit on rookie salaries.

you dont know that

A couple guys at the Dolphin forum I frequent wrote this up on Newton for the Sun Sentinel, included with lots of video. It's by far the best writeup I've seen of him so far, i figured I would pass it on to you guys.

Great Find!

The next few days will go along way for Cam. He stands to make a lot of money over the week, and we all know that is his primary focus.

I am no expert on quarterbacks, but my guess is that Cam Newton will at least be a top 10 pick, and could easily go in the top 5.

The only thing that can stop him at this point is a major blunder of attitude or maybe his father dad will blow it for him.

Good for him. I still think he's got all the problems alex did when we drafted him, minus the big brain. Alex had the size, the arm and the feet and came from a spread system. Only difference is alex wasn't a bad kid and has small hands. Really i think he's to risky for us. But i think we have a much better offensive mind to groom someone, FINALLY! lol Either way, i much rather wait and just take locker if we want a project player. With a top 7 pick and in a weak division we need to take either prince, or miller or peterson, someone who could start sooner and with less risk to get us over the hump and into the playoffs sooner.

Not even close to the size and speed of Newton.

Ok 2 inch's taller and 30 pounds heavier then alex. I never said speed. i said feet. Acutally what was alex's 40 time i doubt cam will match it. I think alex was just a half second faster then rodgers... either way he's a big big project was the point, and if we want a project just take locker who should have the fastest 40 time of all qb's!!

lol

You doubt Cam will match Alex's 40 time? I'll take that bet.

And no way Locker has a faster time than Kaepernick, Taylor, or even Cam. Heck Ponder will probably run faster.

Regardless in the NFL speed isn't as important as escapability. Cam may be the best at that since Big Ben.

Every QB is gonna be a big project. But don't forget, with Harbaugh, no project can be too big. Well, maybe Gabbert. There's no fixin that kid. Unless maybe he decides to become a lefty.

Cam will beat smiths time

He has better feet...

For the record.....rodgers ran a faster 40 then smith

Actually, for the record they ran the exact same time (4.71). Smith had a faster 3 cone though.
