He will be too distracted by fame and money. He will not care to learn and improve instead will try to skate by on his athleticism.

nail on the head.
extremely ego-testical, self centered, me-me-me idiot who cannot read a playbook.
Running by college kids is much different than 250lb men who can run just as fast as him, and hit way harder. Good luck Carolina.

Congratulations Carolina you drafted an icon. Your team roster shows that you now have 6 QB's stockpiled. Having a hard time making up your mind?

This will be my last comment to you:Shut up...I did not trash the Panthers at all. Only their decision to draft Newton, which I don't agree with. That in no way makes me smug or anything else disparaging you would like to pin on me or other Cowboys fans. If you did a little research and reading, you would find that I am one of the people here that RARELY, if at all, ever bashes someone else's teams. So take your condescending, back handed insult comments and stuff them up your rear end, and while you are at it...don't forget to report this comment like you love to do when someone disagrees with you.

Saved...cuz' we all know the original will be deleted.

Wow! You sure have a diificult time taking any constructive critcism. You are the one that was laughing at Carolina. Go watch the Royal Wedding if you can't duke it out with the men.

I think you should apologize to Sweets. She was just expressing her opinion on Carolina's first round pick. Shame on you.

Even with Cam Newton, I still would not bet $1 with the odds being million to one that Carolina will win the Super Bowl in the next 5 years. It is a long climb out of the cellar of the NFC South behind an improving Tampa Bay, Atlanta and New Orleans. By year 3 Newton will be throwing more temper tantrums than passes.

I have a feeling that a train wreck is about to happen in Carolina.

The Newton Brothers one in the NFL and one in the UFL. Will they soon be reunited? Cam can take snaps from brother Cecil Jr. a Center.

Newton might be a good NFL QB but the odds are against that. He always wants to run first and pass second. The good NFL QB's are patient in the pocket and look for secondary receivers.

Brothers, Brothers: sung to Rosemary Clooneys, Sisters, Sisters

Brothers, Brothers there were never such devoted brothers. ( to their fathers cause)

All kinds of weather they stay together, same in the rain or sun.

Caring, sharing, ever little thing they are wearing. ( uniforms )

Two different faces in tight places they think and act as one,

Those that have seen us, know that nothing can come between us.

Lord help the owner, that comes between me and my brother

Can he be as patient as Roethlesberger? If Roethlesberger were as fast as Newton or Kaepernick then he'd be even more dangerous.

Big Ben weighs about 260 lbs. Newton isn't even close in size.
