Thurmonator Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 What are the odds that we can land this kid in the draft? I live in the south and have seen him play several times. Kid is a beast. Newton at QB with Spiller at RB could be an awesome combination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thurmonator Posted October 21, 2010 Author Share Posted October 21, 2010 I dunno...he's one of the front-runners for the Heisman. I'm just keeping my fingers crossed I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarolinaBill Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 he reminds me alot of Randall Cunningham, or possibly Vince Young. At this point I like to see more of him before rushing to judgement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanInUticaTampa Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 I think he will be a fine pro prospect, but I don't think he will come out this year unless it is something where evaluaters suddenly pick him to go in the first round. Right now he looks like a 2nd rounder at best. If he stays in school another year and plays well he might be a first rounder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkc Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 I HAVE A BUDDY WHO LIVES IN SEC country and has been telling all year this guy for Chan . Looks like he might be right. The Alabama game should be a good test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Senator Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 What are the odds that we can land this kid in the draft? I live in the south and have seen him play several times. Kid is a beast. Newton at QB with Spiller at RB could be an awesome combination. You've seen him play for Auburn several times, or for Blinn Junior College? I can't even figure out how many years of eligibility he's got left, what with Florida, a red-shirt season at Florida, Blinn Junior College, and now Auburn - but I think he's started a total of 7 games for a BCS team (he might have had a start at Florida, I'm not sure), so doubt that he's declaring for the 2011 draft. Looks like a solid prospect in 2012, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying he fills our biggest need, but he and Spiller could give us a dynamic offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll leave that for better football minds to determine, but (1) he's not going to be in this year's draft and (2) even if he was, Nix does not draft college QBs with one season of starting experience. (I presume you meant you saw him play against Arkansas - Newton plays for Auburn.) Edited October 21, 2010 by The Senator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JM57 Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 I'd like to see him play a little more QB and a little less RB before anointing him a bonafide NFL QB prospect.... See: 129 rushes, 122 pass attempts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew026 Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 I'd like to see him play a little more QB and a little less RB before anointing him a bonafide NFL QB prospect.... See: 129 rushes, 122 pass attempts. Exactly this. While I do like his arm, it's a small sample size. Unfortunately Malzahn is not going to have him chuck when the offense they've been running has been nearly unstoppable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See: 129 rushes, 122 pass attempts. Yeah. I've only seen highlights, but I don't see much if any drop back-progressions-throw. Instead it's dropback - look - scramble - create. I'm not against running QBs, but not until they can run progressions, understand the defense and get it out fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarolinaBill Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Brilliant!!! JaMarcus Jr. Awesome analysis buddy, big black Qb=Jamarcus. Have you ever watched him play? the kid is more like randall cunningham or Vince Young. Awesome as in Jamarcus Russell and Darren McFadden? More like our attempt at VY and Chris Johnson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More like our attempt at VY and Chris Johnson I will make the fairly obvious assumption that his association was not based on race but rather the fact that they are both big, SEC qbs that are going to suck nuts in the NFL (or did suck nuts in Russels case) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
