[QUOTE="PackersRS, post: 360112, member: 1429"] Great input man! First off, all the listed problems with him are coachable. So that wouldn't sway off a team, not with his potential. And regarding the ego issue, we're not talking about regular joe here. QBs can't afford that luxury of riding the hype. They have to behave above what a normal guy would feel. They need to be the hardest workers on the team and have to command respect in the huddle. In college, you can do that with a big head, being the man on campus. You can lead by performance. He's so clearcut above everybody else, that the guys know that, despite everything, him being there makes everybody win. At the NFL level, that doesn't fly. Specially if he's making millions without ever stepping on the field. You think that veteran guard that never got the huge contract is gonna go the extra mile for a guy that shows up late for work and is always on the billboard on the highway? Hell no. Right now, at his level, there are hundreds of guys like Cam Newton that make much less money and are much harder workers. And he won't realize his potential if his teammates don't believe in him. He can't just "try" to remain focused while all the hype is being generated. He HAS to. And that's yet to be seen. [/QUOTE]
