on his rollout, when people are moving, when defenders are coming so close.
This is what Ben is at his best, not so much of having everything under his control when Brady is at his best, not the the precise timing that peyton shows all the time. It's play that looks going bad quickly and Ben just makes the best he could - not a highlight reeling kind of play, mind you, just enough to get it done.
Some have compared Newton's playing style, body size to Ben. Both of them are not a film room guy like Peyton was since college. When Roethlisberger came out, people have seen this kind of stuff for 3 years at Miami U of Ohio. Count me as one guy who did not believe that he could translate that into NFL at that time. He proved us wrong.
Now the question is onto Newton. He has a much smaller sample size to choose from. The question is can we envision him doing that in NFL on a regular basis a couple of years down the road?
