NFL pie fight over Cam Newton’s future ignores TDs, wins
Cam Newton, with father Cecil (center) and mother Jackie when he was honored Friday by Georgia legislature, has faced some unwarranted criticism leading up to draft. (AP photo).
NFL general managers go to great lengths to probe every conceivable aspect of a player’s psyche and background, which would lead you to believe that the draft is a far more exact science than two teenagers seeking their fortunes on a Ouija board. Sometimes, it isn’t.
We cite as examples: JaMarcus Russell and his spin on the protein shake (“purple drank”); Ryan Leaf and his fully developed cranium of a two-year-old; Michael Vick’s sudden and previously unknown desire to become an entrepreneur, somewhere back in the woods in painted black sheds in Surry County, Virginia.
Which brings us to Cam Newton.
He is possibly the most dissected potential first overall draft pick we’ve ever seen, and the debate about his future is creating household names of people like Nolan Nawrocki – who until last week lived in relative Google anonymity. The debate also has prompted one of Newton’s mentors, Warren Moon, to foolishly play the race card.
My kingdom for a mute button.
The worst thing about being a member of the 24/7 media these days is finding yourself central to these nonsensical circuses. Unfortunately, the loud pie fights won’t end until Newton is on a field again.
Moon's charges of racism seem baseless, even if ...
Newton, a native of College Park, was in the relatively controlled surroundings of the state Capitol the other day when he was honored by the Georgia Legislature. While he managed to bring professional pie fighters together under one gold dome, this is what swirled around him:
Nawrocki, a draft analyst for Pro Football Weekly, issued his
... Nawrocki probably took his analysis too far.
scouting report on Newton and and parts of it read like an old Saturday Night Live skit, when Dan Aykroyd would turn to Jane Curtain during “Point/Counterpoint” and say: “Jane, you ignorant slut.”
Some of Nawrocki’s “negatives” on Newton: “Very disingenuous. Has a fake smile, comes off as very scripted and has a selfish, me-first makeup. Always knows where the cameras are and plays to them. Has an enormous ego with a sense of entitlement. Makes him believe he is above the law. Does not command respect from teammates. Always will struggle to win a locker room. Lacks accountability, focus and trustworthiness. Not punctual. Immature. Not dependable.”
Left unsaid: whether his feet stink.
Moon, a member of the Hall of Fame, responded to this criticism in an unusual way: “A lot of the criticism is unfortunate and racially based.” And the media inferno spread.
Ever witness a debate in which you wanted nothing to do with either side?
Nawrocki gets paid to critique players, so he can say and write what he likes. But remarks like Newton “has a fake smile” and is “very disingenuous,” are just silly. Nawrock admits he never has had a conversation with Newton so that’s kind of a strange leap to make. (Also, how does a quarterback engineer a 14-0 season without winning over a locker room?)
Moon’s general feelings about race and the draft are understandable. He wasn’t drafted in 1978 and began his career in Canada. But the NFL hasn’t been a whites-only quarterback league for some time. The time line stretches from Doug Williams to Josh Freeman, with Donovan McNabb, Steve McNair and dozens of others in between.
When Moon suggested no white QBs had to face this kind of pre-draft criticism, was he counting Tim Tebow?
Here’s what we know about Newton: Athletically, he has few peers at the quarterback position. He just completed arguably the single greatest season by a college player: a BCS title, an undefeated season, Heisman Trophy, 30 passing touchdowns, 20 rushing TDs in his only year as starter at an SEC school.
The debate rages on as to what he knew and when he knew it regarding his recruiting process. We know his father, Pastor Cecil “Huggy Bear” Newton, did everything but list his son on Craigslist with the words, “Available for $10,000 and fur-lined pulpit, or best offer.” But regardless of whether Cam Newton is dirty or clean, few athletes ever have faced the same pressure, adversity and scrutiny, and responded so well on the field.
If Carolina takes Newton with the first pick, it will be because of those tangibles. Eventually, we’ll learn if Newton’s perceived flaws will submarine his career. But until I see something other than touchdowns and wins, I’ll assume the rest is empty noise.

I think that Cam will be a good NFL qb,however, I do think that he is rather self-centered. I remember after the teams NC win they were invited to a Laker game and Cam was sitting with the stars and other famous people on the front row while the rest of the sat in the nose bleed section. If he was such a team player he would have sat with his team members

I would like to know what is a fake smile? Have you ever seen his “REAL” smile? I’m interested to know how many of us adults have made “STUPID” decisions in our lives as a teenager and wanted to show people that we’ve changed. Well people “LOOK INTO THE MIRROR” and let me know if you are one of those people. Quick to judge but not wanting to be judge. And also if you’re black confidence its always considered arrogance explain to me why is that and just as one of the other poster said how can you go undefeated at a high level and not have the respect of the locker room? Just another stupid question people.

Worm, Bo Jackson was an overall #1 pick as well in addition to Tucker Frederickson and Aundray Bruce.
Tucker had early knee injuries which inhibited his NFL success and Aundray had the unfortunate combination of not being very bright on top of being drafted by the Falcons who tried to make him a MIDDLE linebacker. Read that again, the Falcons drafted a rush LB/DE and tried to make him a MIDDLe linebacker. Kid never had a chance.

The State of Georgia is facing an enormous deficit, there are issues on every corner needing attention just in the world are the numb nuts under the gold dome doing honoring an Auburn player??? An Auburn player who is the centerpiece of multiple accusations of impropriety on how he ended up at Auburn. Good God, the voters need to replace everyone of the idiots who are wasting the taxpayers money on such inane acts.

Jeff- very good article.
While watching Newton as a sophomore at UF in mop up duty for Tebow, everyone saw his immense talent. He made some poor choices, and he is obviously being dragged down by his greedy father, but he has made the very best of it. AU won with Newton who was a one year wonder for the Tigers, and I salute AU, but if any hardened AU followers believe that Cam bleeds AU colors they may be mistaken. How long was he at AU, and how many legitimate credit hours did he accumulate at AU while he was there? Perhaps he earned 16 credit hours at most, but how many were hard core courses? The fact is that Newton did a superb job for AU on the field. Now we will see what he does at the next level. We all need to move on to the 2011 SEC Season.
For his sake, I hope he does well. For the sake of the SEC, I sincerely hope that the cloud hanging over AU goes away. Neither AU or the SEC need all of the nonsense which surrounded Newton last season.

Let’s see…. closely associated with a stolen laptop, 15 traffic violations while in Gainesville for 18 months, verified questions about his academic integrity at Florida, closely assocaited with a father asking for $180,000 and yet Warren Moon plays the race card and says it is wrong to question Cam’s character? I am sick of this. Sounds like his daddy should have been busy tearing his butt up for his behavior and Warren should spend some more time teaching him how to act.

As a Gator, I sure wish we had him playing for us this past season…… and who knows how he’ll turn out in the NFL? I would bet the so caled experts are 50/50 on picking QBs – probably as good as any of us on this board. And at the end of the day who cares if he has a “fake smile?” All I know is what I saw – that despite having all sorts of pressure on him he produced maybe one of, if not the greatest college seasons ever. That’s not even in despute…… If I have a QB who does that, but has a “fake smile,” I’ll take that every Saturday…..

It is noted that you stated that UGA, UF, UT and AU are cheating. That is a strong allegation. Please tell all of us the facts on where Spurrier, Zook and Meyer cheated during their respective tenures at UF.
I freely admit that UF was unethical prior to Spurrier’s arrival. Also, when di Mark Richt and Jim Donan cheat at UGA. What specifiacally is Saban doing at BAMA that is unethical these days.
Please educate all of us at UF, UGA, UT and BAMA with the facts which you are holding about each program.
As I previously said, I hope AU is clean for both the sake of the SEC and AU.

Amazing how people can judge Cam Newton’s character without knowing him. I guess you can judge just by reading the news. If that is the case, I believe that AJ Green has character problems. AJ Green openly broke the rules and sold his jersey to an agent knowing it was against the rules. This is an obvious sign of a character problem. He broke the rules.
The thing on Cam Newton is he is an obvious winner. Naworcki (sp) comments that he had problems int eh locker room are ludicrous. You can’t be the leader of two teams that win National Championships ( Blinn JC and Auburn), go undefeated for two years with out being a leader in the locker room.

Tell us all what classes Cam had credit for? Newton will play QB for one year and will never be seen again. He should go to Canada and become a legend. He will never be a starter in the NFL other than his 1st year attempt before teams understand that his talent is for running and that’s ALL!. If isn’t a threat to run (75% of the time in college) then he’s not good enough to pass well enough to be successful in the NFL.

Whatever controversies surrounding Cam Newton are mostly his own doing. He didn’t leave Florida on his own.; he was invited to leave. And even if he he had nothing to do with his his father’s actions, Cam didn’t do himself any favors when he embraced his father on national TV after the BCS Championship Game.
Actions have consequences.

Good column Jeff…both Nawrocki & Moon’s claims are equally lame. Kid’s made mistakes, also has had hanging over him what his dad did most of the season..someone will give him a shot. I hope he ends up at Seattle, out of the more immediate spotlight, with a player’s coach who’ll make him compete an with Holmgren, a GM known for developing QB’s. Physically, there’s probably not another quarterback who can do what he can, except the speed issue, and that’s only becuase Vick is in the league, otherwise, Cam would be on top.

The Major:
Wow, 48 hours from AU alone in less than 2 years on campus. That is impressive. I do not question him being on track to graduate, but did he earn those 48 hours solely at AU?
Let us do the math. Cam was at UF during the Fall semester of 08 when he got in trouble. I believe he left UF at the end of the 08-09 Academic Year after he completed the Spring Semester. He was also at UF during the 07-08 Academic year the the ‘08 Summer Sessions. He then enrolled in Junior College where he did a fantastic job during the 09 Season. How many hours did he earn in J.C. before transfering to AU in Jan ‘10. Correct me if I am wrong, but didn’t he enroll at AU in Jan 10 to make him eligible for the ‘10 Season in which he was phenominal. Are we to assume that he is still enrolled in classes at AU? Based on your statement that he earned 48 hours at AU, this means that he earned these 48 hours during the Spring Semester of the 09-10 Academic year; 2 Sumer Sessions in the Summer of ‘10 and the Fall Term of the ‘10-’11 Academic year. If so, he is truely and amazing student, and I apologize.
Having said that, we do not know how many credits he transferred with from UF to Junior College because of some of his academic issues of cheating at UF. Nor do we know how many hours he accumulated in Junior College.
Thus, how many of the 48 hours did he earn at AU? AU is a very good school, and only an academic genius could possibly earn 48 leigitimate credit hours at AU in 2 Semesters and 2 Summer Sessions plus play football. Of note, the ‘10-’11 Academic Year is still in session.
However, if he has accrued a total of 48 hours from his time at UF, Junior College and AU i am not impressed. Of note, while Cam was at UF, he majored in Socialand Behavioral Science which is a typical “no load” football player major. I assume that is his major at AU. Perhaps his father should take some classes in that academic continuum.
Have a great day!

As a Black and Red Dawg fan, I can’t believe I’m doing this…. Say what you want about Cam Newton and his tangibles, but he is NOT in the same league as Tim Tebow when it comes to integrity and leadership by example. Tebow showed more heart, more drive and an honest will to win than I ever saw in any of Newton’s games. Tebow also, single-handedly, rallied his team from a devestating loss to win a national championship.
If I had a choice as to who would be the person I fought and bled with on the football field and in life, it would be Tim Tebow 100 times over. Newton is merely a product of great genes, a little talent and lots of chances to recover from otherwise career ending mistakes.
And that is coming from a lifetime Georgia Bulldog fan! GO DAWGS!

Mr. Schultz, Mort pointed out that there has also been a lot of criticism of Mallett and allegations of meth use. I do think the product of the information age is that you hear things that are true and used to be kept quiet while at the same times hearing lies that used to go unsaid. So I think the players get it from two fronts.
Cam needs to answer for lying, stealing, cheating, and quiting at UF. People should be able to question these aspects of his past without being called racist. Personally, I find Cam engaging when he is “in front of the camera”. Kind of like you would want your franchise player to be.

Jeff – I agree that Nawrocki went over the top. However, I assume he has some inside info from somewhere re Cam’s character issues. Of course, no inside info is actually needed based on his UF experience which obviously raises the character issue for any team thinking about drafting Cam. Those kinds of decisions are best left up to the drafting teams.

I criticized Tim but only becuase I got tired of the media oggling over him and because his team is UGA’s rival. I was completely wrong. We need more Time Tebows. The guy was a winner in every respect and I apologize for not liking him because of who he played for.

Whether Cameron Newton is successful in the NFL will be up to Cameron Newton. If any player with his ability puts it in his mind to “WORK” hard at the quarterback position and “WORK” with his teammates and develops their trust he will be successful. Will that happen? Once again, that is up to Cameron Newton.
The recent past history with Cameron Newton has illustrated a young man, a preacher father who took many many shortcuts along the way. Then NFL is not as forgiving. There have been hundreds of quarterbacks who have had the ability to make it in the NFL but did not put in the work the make the leap from a top draft choice, great college quarterback with tons of talent to a winning, leadership style NFL quarterback.
If Cameron Newton’s teammates do not trust him and his coaches see he is not putting in the work on the field, off the field, in the lockerroom, and in film study and only drawing a hefty paycheck then his career will be a short lived one.
Guys like Brady, Manning, Farve, Young, Montana, Starr, Unitis, Moreno, and now Ryan, Rogers, Flacco, Cassel and a few others are students of the game and understand the importance of leading by example on the field, in the study sessions and in the lockerroom.
Cameron Newton needs to understand this is not college anymore and he is now a “FULL TIME” quarterback in a “FULL TIME’ job that is a big big business and your coach will no longer say “no comment” about your dealings and your behavior or your dad’s behavior.

To meet Cam is to immediately like him. His smile is only fake of you happen to be a disgruntled Bull Gator who just so happesn to have a pay service for evaluating potential draftees such as Nowrocki does. I’ve personally watched him stand for more than an hour after a game signing autographs until the last comer was satisfied, grinning and posing for pictures the entire time, while the entire rest of the team had long since left the stadium. He’s the genuine article.
I pride myself at being a good judge of character. It’s essential in my business that I have a strong BS detector. Cam had some personal failings in the past, but he overcame all of them, and is better for it. He and Jamarcus Russell are nothing alike, and I have absolutely no doubts that Cam will be successful in WHATEVER he does, on the field and off.

Gator Mike,
You nailed it. Cameron Newton supposedly earned 18 hours, 6 hours, 6 hours, and 6 hours and 14 hours while at Auburn. But it is now being made public that once again the independent study courses were more than half of those hours earned. Of those hours, 16 hours were for lab/ field study hours and his last instructor has stated that he saw Newton only 3 times during the semester but he knows how the system works and as long as the work was turned in and he showed up for the events that Newton met the course requirements.
The trees at Toomer’s Corner may have been poisoned and they may be dying. but the money tree, and the academic tree is still alive and well on the campus of Auburn University.

Jeff, I’ve enjoyed many of your columns and post in the past. You do great work. Did you really have to mention Michael Vick or was this a way to draw attention to your story? I can see if you were writing about current NFL players with character issues but you’re not. The story is about Cam Newton and his character and why is he getting so scrutinized by the media. It’s really time for people to let the Vick thing go, including PETA. He made a huge mistake and he paid for it literally and figuratively. Please allow this man to live his life, enjoy his family, and work his job which is as a professional football player. Some people don’t beleive he should be playing football. It’s his job. Does a fireman, nurse, or accountant also believe that if they did something wrong that they should no longer be able to work in the craft that they put time and energy in to learn and provide for themselves and their families? Doesn’t our law system dictate how long a person should pay for their misdeeds? Don’t take a shot at aperson that has absolutely nothing to do with this story.

Another thing we know about Cam is that…even if he doesn’t become a great QB (because of the mechnical flaws in his delivery)…he is a fine running back. (Personally, I think he’d be a better RB than QB.) And because of his size, he could also become a fine tight end. I think if you draft him, you’ll get a good player. Whether he’s worth high first round money is up to each individual team, I guess.

The kid had probably the single most memorable year a college player has ever had- kudos to Cam.
But I think the character warning signs are there- the laptop, and then the alleged academic fraud at UF, the dad and pay for play- I find it difficult to believe he didn’t know. And then when the kid proclaims himself an icon and a brand then you really gotta wonder how much his ego and sense of entitlement are outta control.
I think he will ultimately be successful in the pros but the first few years will be tough- real tough. He’s only had 1 year of college experience in an offense that does not audible or if it does it does so rarely. He knows nothing about reading defenses and in spread offenses there are typically the same 1-3 reads and you run the play.
The pro game is dramatically different and there is a reason there have been very few successful former spread qbs. Sam Bradford is the lone one I can think of who has had immediate success.
He’s got a lotta maturing to do in a short period of time and his past lack of attention to schoolwork makes me wonder how much of a work ethic he will have in the film room.
