Re: ESPN Say's Newton To Enter Draft
Heard Dilfer gushing about this guy today. At least athletically speaking, he hasn't seen anyone like him before.

He's considered a tremendous athlete, the combine will be an opportunity for him to prove he can make all the throws an NFL QB has to be able to make. He'll need to prove that he can because he's never had to do it. The offense he ran at Auburn was basically one read and run, he'll need to show more.

Re: ESPN Say's Newton To Enter Draft
We really need to draft an "elite" NFL QB.
I sure as heck hope that an "elite" QB is there when we pick at #10. Out of the top six QB prospects there is maybe a 50/50 chance that one of them will be elite at the next level. We need that guy. Nothing else matters. Our odds suck, but we need to hit our card on the river. We need a legit QB. Draft a QB with the first and second round pick for all I care.

Unfortunately there isn't one in this draft. (gabbert being closest) Any hope of that ended the day luck decided to stay in college. |

But if you're looking just at an elite guy with the entire package, and deeming everything else (average starter, for example) to be a failure, Ponder makes sense at no. 10. If he stays really healthy, he could develop into a top ten NFL QB.

I'm not suggesting we take Christian Ponder at no. 10. I'm saying it makes sense under the "epic success or bust" philosophy at quarterback because 1) Gabbert will be gone by 10, and 2) There aren't a lot of true believers in Locker/Newton/Mallett as elite players. I think people believe in them as potential starters in a weak class. As for me, I'm not a buyer in the "you need an epic quarterback to compete" philosophy. Teams need to do a lot of things well to compete, that happens to just be one of the few that isn't below everyone's radar. But competent quarterbacks are absolutely everywhere, and that doesn't fit with the narrative about "winners" and such. Competent quarterbacks can appear to be either winners or losers. Just that the "losers" can be acquired much, much cheaper.
