NEW YORK-After NFL COMMISH Roger Goodel got booed by NFL football fans. And hearing chants of "WE WANT FOOTBALL, WE WAN'T FOOTBALL", the Carolina Panthers selected Cam Newton with the #1 overall draft pick. Sure, he won the Heisman trophy, he won the National Championship in his only season in high level college football but none of that really seems to impress me enough.
There's no doubt Newton put up incredible numbers as the Auburn Tiger quarterback this past season, but there's just no way he's going to put those numbers up in his rookie season. Or any season he might play in the NFL. I think we can agree on that let's just say maybe Cam Newton has already lived his year of fame at the Collegiate level. Ryan Mallet who wen't in the 3rd round of the draft might seem like a more safe pick. Although, you can't blame the Panthers for picking Cam at this #, he still comes with a lot of questions. You can say that Newton has been a winner where ever he has played in the collegiate level(played at a Austin Tx college before playing at Auburn. Who knows what the future brings for Cam Newton. Only time can tell. And Newton will have a chance to silent the doubters.
