re: McElroy - VERY cocky---

I have said it before but McElroy is the steal of this draft for someone. I can see him becoming another Tom Brady

And Kelvin Sheppard is the next Clay Matthews

Its admirable when athletes (or any public figures really) are told how great they are their whole lives and still manage to stay legitimately humble but its not exactly regular human nature for most people.

That doesn't mean people who refer to themselves as icons aren't a bit creepy but its understandable in a way And in what world is Cam Newton not an Auburn icon? Of course he is. In what world is he not an entertainer? Of course he's an entertainer and he did accomplish more in one year than most college football players do in 4. It was a little cringeworthy to hear him say it but it wasn't like he was just making shite up.

IMO, Cam Newton has been TOLD he's an icon by many people for the past 4-6 months. He's a phenominal athlete - but he has shown very little humility in his achievements thusfar in his career.

McElroy said he had an advantage over Newton because of his experience playing in a pro style offense.

Newton said he was an icon.


Of those two statements....which one sounds most cocky to you?

---

Well, when you put it that way...

Hes right. Cam will have to get used to a totally different style of offense.

Yes, that would impress scouts and nfl teams.

Yea McElroy's handing off skills are top notch and he ran the smartest 4.8 in the history of college football.

Please....this whole thread is a joke right? McElroy an advantage over Newton???? LOL

McElroy could of written the pro style offense playbook and he would still have no advantage over Newton.

Newsflash you demented boog: McElroy is better than $cam. All Cam did was run. Cam couldn't hit the fricking side of a "barn"...get it

---

You're an idiot. All Cam did against LSU was run because that's all he had to do. Maybe you should try looking at the numbers before making dumbass comments.

Exactly. Thanks for proving my point. Now if Cam couldn't hit the broadside of a barn, like this coonass so eloquently said, why does he only have 133 yards less than the ginger despite throwing 33 less passes? Why does he have a way better pass to TD ratio? Why does he have a 13 point better pass rating, which you conveniently left off?

Oh, and let's not forget these numbers are from Cam's FIRST year of playing SEC football and McElroy's SECOND year of playing SEC football. Here are the comparisons of their first year stats:

GM:
198 for 325 61% 2508yds 17TDs 4 INT 140.55 rating

CN:
185 for 280 66% 2854 yds 30 TD 7 INT 182.05 rating

Would this be at a Jr College?

And he was 66% passing vs 70% passing. Tells me his WR's were effective for him when they got the ball as far as the closeness in yardage. His accuracy wasn't all there. As far as TD's, when you're a run threat, you're going to have the opportunity to throw in the redzone a little bit more. If you think he'll be as effective running in the NFL as he was scrambling in college, well...
