I'd say he hit the nail on the head. Especially with the first sentence.

Not even close. Newton's focus is not in question by anyone with a brain, not sure what crawled up this guy's arse but he's clueless about Newton. This is the exact opposite of what every Auburn coach feels about Newton. Newton commanded respect of his fellow players, you don't lead a team the way he did and not. Anyone that says you can do what he did with the team and not have leadership is a damn fool.

As good as he has been, this point is so obvious it's almost undebatable. In college, this activity gets you on Sportscenter and makes cleat-chaser's knees shake. In the NFL, I doubt a whole lot of 13-year veteran O-Lineman will have pantie drizzle over his smile. Hopefully we get a ruling out of the courts quickly so we can see how it plays out rather than playing Nostradamus on message boards.

Like many of today's sports stars. He should fit in well.

quote:Go back and look at Auburn's offense in the second half and fourth quarter throughout the season. Newton was lights out in situations where AU was tied or behind. To be able to move the ball and score in those situations takes a to of dertemination, focus and drive.
Lacks accountability, focus and trustworthiness
quote:That may not be a bad thing in the eyes of team owners and marketing/PR people. If you have a dynamic person in a marquee position, his flash may actually draw more people who are into the flash and antics. For a team that struggles to put butts in seats or get decent tv numbers, he might be just what they need.
Always knows where the cameras are and plays to them.
