Newton wins Heisman in landslide

Auburn’s hulking quarterback brushed off an NCAA investigation of his recruitment as he did so many tacklers this season and captured college football’s biggest individual award Saturday night in a landslide vote.

The third player from Auburn to win the Heisman, Newton received 729 first-place votes and outpointed runner-up Andrew Luck of Stanford by 1,184 points.
“Honestly, it’s a dream come true for me, something every child has a dream (about) that plays the sport of football, and I’m living testimony that anything is possible,” Newton said.

Oregon running back LaMichael James was third, followed by Boise State quarterback Kellen Moore, the other finalist.

Newton didn’t look a bit surprised when his name was announced inside the Best Buy Theater in Times Square. A wide smile spread across his face and he dropped his head.

 

they're already starting to come out of the woodworks, to ride the gravy train

 

Aint this some hypocritical bull. They take Reggie's back under the guise of keeping the Award untainted, yet they overwhelmingly vote this dubious guy living under the suspicion of illicit recruitment. I know he's gifted, but damn, keep your policy consistent.

 

I just hope they don't ask him to give it back after several years down the road.

 

Auburn stay winning

 

now I know which team to play NCAA dynasty as

 

Just happy Newton won, dont give a shit if his preacher father took the 180 Gs or not, just glad he won it.

 

lol

im just amazed at his background. the guy went from college to college, only to win the big game + the trophy every hardcore football player wants. that other bullshit is just stuff to knock a young stud down.

 

He went college to college coz Gators were in love with Tebow and Newton did not get a chance to play there,,, so went to Community college in Texas and destroyed the record, the rest is history. I hope this guy turns into an outstanding NFL Quarterback, about time a minority excel above and beyond at that position.

 

that's what im talkin about

:smt103

seriously tho...if you're serious about any kind of sport, why spend time backing up another guy? He did the right thing and got the attention he deserves as an athlete.:smt106

 

I've got the Panthers or the Bengals in the upcoming "Cam Newton Sweepstakes" right now.

 

"...there's uneasiness amid an otherwise dream season. Never before has best player in the country, the Heisman Trophy winner, been the focus of such controversy as he carried his team into the national championship game.

"As far as I can remember, I'd say it's unprecedented," says Grant Teaff, the executive director of the American Football Coaches Association, who has been involved with the game for seven decades....

....As Newton realizes, the scrutiny will continue. Though the NCAA did not find sufficient evidence to prove that Cam Newton or anyone at Auburn knew of the scheme, the case is not necessarily closed. The NCAA's enforcement arm (which is separate from the staff that determined Newton's eligibility) has also been involved in the probe..."

 

Whatever.

The Pac-10 will nullify all that shit next month.

 

Cam Newton looks like going to finish with perfect season.

 

Yeah, well, he's not it.

So far 99% of all NFL caliber QBs that start at the pro level of African American decent all fall under 2 catagories. These types have proven to be mediocre at best over the length of their careers:
1. The Mike Vick, Randall Cunningham, Kordell Stewart Variety

They may look super human at times. They may even take you to a conference championship or two. But somehow or other, they always find a way to fail when playing to get into the big game, let alone winning the whole enchilada.

These types tend to be what Madden classifies as the running QB. All three that I mentioned had either a rocket arm or a cannon arm, or both in regards to Vick. However, their recognition skills lacked in many ways, probably because QB was not the first position they played and picked it up at a later time. (It has been documented in a study I read from Indiana University that children steered toward the QB position from the pee-wee football years on are almost exclusively cute, blond, and well, white. The study focused more specifically on a system of alloting points for facial symmetry, as that is the characteristic most human beings are drawn to as being attractive. It does correlate to people like Vick and Jamarcus Russell as they have very symmetrical faces as well.) Simply put, they haven't been at the QB position as long as their white counterparts, so when faced with a tough situation, they prefer to fall back on their athletic ability and run rather than stand in and make the tough throw, knowing your gonna get your ass planted.

2. The second type would be the Jamarcus Russell, Ben Roethlisberger variety: a guy who is so ridiculously oversized that it takes 3 dudes to bring him down. I mention ben as he fits this mold, but isn't actually black. I don't understand why someone would draft this type of QB unless they have outstanding recognition skills. Big Ben does not fit that equation, and for Russell, we'll never know cause he was sippin all that syzurp. He does however, take advantage of his size and extends busted plays beyond the length of reason, therefore causing defenses fits the same way Fran Tarkenton used to.

Back to that last point you made:

How can you forget about Warren Moon and Doug Williams?
Both could be considered successful playing the pro game. These two are the last 1%. The latter had to fight adversity his entire career and was never really given the shot at leading teams most QBs get. He did win the Super Bowl though.

As for Warren Moon, well I'd call him the most successful black QB ever, even without a Super Bowl ring. He really was a genius when passing the ball. The problem is most of the kids playing in college now never saw him play in the 80s and don't model their games after his. Its a damn shame.

 

Pro Football Weekly draft guide written by Nolan Nawrocki about 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 that continually invites trouble and makes him believe he is above the law — does not command respect from teammates and will always struggle to win a locker room . . . Lacks accountability, focus and trustworthiness — is not punctual, seeks shortcuts and sets a bad example. Immature and has had issues with authority. Not dependable."

Damn he ripped him a big new asshole, lol.

 

Funny how Ryan Mallett's cocaine problem during his time at Arkansas has mysteriously been swept under the radar. I'd take Cam Newton way before I'd even condsider drafting Mallett as a 1st-round pick. It's possible that you can manage having a WR or a LB with a cocaine problem on your team, but damn it not the QB.

I'm just sayin.

 

I have no idea why some of them are riding Cam's dick and finding ways to speak negatively about him like a mission statement.

Everytime I hear these so called experts speak I have three letters "VCU"

Dudes over at ESPN ripped the tournament committee on selecting VCU, now they are all having a "pot of shut it up stew", including Dick Vitale, Jay Bilas and a few more who were incessed and fuming on selection Sunday when VCU got into the tournament over Colorado, Alabama, etc. Now they are all hushed. So much for experts. Hopefully Cam Newton will do the same to the haters.

 

That bitch ripped himself a new asshole...hating that deeply says more about him than anybody else.

 

truth.
