86809, Fairley seems a tad too finesse to me. I smell bust.

You ain't gotta start out like this. If you want to shit on him,
just do it Will...niggas trust you

Yeah, getting by on natural gifts. Still, watching
Terrell Pryor makes me realize how good a prospect
Cam is (lol):

a) He doesn't stare down receivers

b) Decision making is actually good for someone
so raw...how many "oh, fuck, serious?" moments
has Cam had at Auburn? Very, very, few.

c) Easily has pro zip on just about every
throw. He hasn't had to throw the deep ball
much, since his receivers aren't ever open

d) Doesn't get rattled, at all. Has pretty much
laughed off distractions and ethered everyone.
You have to love that in a QB. That comeback
was serious Drew Brees at Purdue swag



I think the Newton question is this:

Is he more Ryan Perriloux or Ben Rothlisberger?

Ben had started far more than Newton at Miami(OH),
against competition about 1/2 as good as what Newton
has had to in his FIRST season starting

Perriloux had alllll the pro gifts, but is a fucking
dumbass who never worked on his game and regressed
and sulked (I still say we'll see Perriloux at some
point in the pros, but not for a minute)

He still seems like the fat nigga who tries to beg coach
to play fullback to me

Too many swim movies to me. Picks sides a lot instead
of taking on the blocker and fucking him up.

Seriously -- compare that to Suh last year, who would
fuck up weak niggers and run past slow niggas...Suh
tailored his ether to the lineman he was facing

Fairley seems like a 4-3 DT and won't fit in anywhere else

Haloti Ngata was the other extreme -- knew what he was.
Gets down and fucks lineman up, eats blockers, spits
them out


Correct me if I sound wrong, Will
