JPS Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 You sure he's not the next James Harris or Doug Wms? Akili Smith was a scatterarmed smaller QB who was much slower than Newton, but other than that, he's exactly the same. Â Don't worry, the Bills are not taking a QB at 3. No way. They have a starter and need a _efense. If it's not front 7, I will be more blown away than when they took John Fina over Carl Pickens. More shocked than Whitner over Ngata or Tommy Harris. Maybe even more shocked than Tony Hunter over Jim Kelly/Dan Marino. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have zero confidence in Nix's ability to run the draft. Â Akili Smith didn't even put up numbers like Cam did this year. This is the 2nd greatest season by a college QB in the history of NCAA football, next to Tebow's Heisman year. Everyone on the Auburn Tigers raves about his work ethic and leadership ability. Not sure where you get your info from. Crayonz maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CosmicBills Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Based on what? One top pick that hasn't won OROY? Â PTR Even you have to admit, Nix's design of the team thus far has been less than stellar. Picking Spiller was a huge blunder (though I know I'm in the minority on that), failing to seriously address the OL in FA or the draft, other than Moats, his first draft class seems suspect at best. Easley could be good, Spiller will turn out to be decent, Moats I think will be an overachiever his whole career (in a good way) but outside of those three, I'm not holding my breath. Â This is a crucial draft for the Bills. They have the ability to get three or four playmakers on Offense and/or Defense. I have no choice but to hope for the best, but so far Nix has been a huge disappointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Turk Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Cam Newton is a one year wonder like Akili Smith. He has questionable intangibles and work ethic. I have zero confidence in Nix's ability to run the draft. Â Apparently San Diego had plenty of confidence in his ability where he drafted players like LaDanian Tomlinson, Shawne Merriman and found players like Antonio Gates...

freester Posted January 7, 2011 Author Share Posted January 7, 2011 Based on what? One top pick that hasn't won OROY? Â PTR based on an entire draft that contributed very little on a team devoid of talent. Based on a number of ridiculous moves like extending Kelsay and Merriman. Not firing a first time DC whose defense is the worst in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freester Posted January 7, 2011 Author Share Posted January 7, 2011 Thank you for clearing that up, but do you have proof? Proof that Nix is incompetent?? His record speaks for itself. Newton like Akili runs an offense that is not pro style. In the pros with bigger faster defenders, he won't be able to run for all those yards. He doesn't have Vick's speed.

greenmohawk Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Cam Newton is out of this world good. Now that Luck is out he's gonna go #1. If he's there at 3, they gotta snatch him up. Or trade him for a whole bunch of picks . Either way the dude is great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayzer32 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Cam Newton will be an excellent NFL QB, mark my words. As long as he stays away from the Jamarsucks Russell ho-ho and twinkie diet, he will be good. All these other QB's mentioned could never throw the ball nearly as good as they could run. Newton OTOH can throw as good, if not better than he can run and he can actually read defenses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
