If there is a lock-out I don't want Newton

[Ebenezer]

I have no clue if there will be a lockout or not and have not heard any of the news on discussions about a new CBA but if there is a lockout I definitely don't want Newton (or maybe any other QB). Of all the positions on the field I think a rookie QB needs more guidance from day 1 than anybody else on the team. Drafting Newton (or maybe any QB) at #3 could be a huge, fatal mistake if he ends up sitting at home for some time due to a shut down. If Newton is to be successful at the pro level I think this kid needs tutoring from day 1 - not time to sit.

Thoughts?

don't think it matters since Fitz is the qb for the next year at least regardless of who we draft at qb.

I agree with your sentiments Eb...but I also don't want Newton even if there isn't a lockout.

IF their is a lockout I don't even care if there is a draft. Hard to be excited for something that will require 16 months before you will ever see them on the field

I think Newton isn't worth the #3 pick anyway, due to the likelihood it's going to take him two years minimum to be NFL ready, if he ever is. Anything that can add to that timescale, just makes me feel it's more of a 'waste' of the pick.
While he certainly has great 'potential', the longer it takes that potential to be realised, should affect where he's taken, imho.

i don't want newton is there isn't a lock-out.

So the reverse is true? If theres no lockout, you want Newton?

:D:

If there is a lockout every team and every rookie will be in the same shape.

If you don't want Newton don't hide behind the lockout as a reason.

I do not want him in a house
I do not want him with a mouse

I do not want him, there is no doubt
I do not want him with a lockout

I do not want him any day
I do not want him if they play

I do not want him because of Kordell and Chan
I do not want him; this Newton man

I do not want him despite repeated tries
I do not want him for this franchise

I do not want him with his speed
I do not want him and his father's greed

I do not want him with a stolen laptop
I do not want to make all these crap threads stop

I do not want him, he seems so dumb
I do not want no matter how loud you beat the drum

I do not want him and cheating test
I do not want him despite the handfull that insist he's the best

I do not want him with number three
I do not want him, can't you see

I do not want this guy named Cam
I do not want him, Sam I Am.

I don't want him at all but if they draft him I'll go with it...but now with this lock out I don't want him in particular, or any other QB really, at #3. Does that sound better?

I posted this previously that any lockout or delay will basically sink any plans to Draft a QB at #3 or anywhere in the first round unless your team is already winning and you can afford to ease him in.

Contrary to the happy talk, #1 overpaid picks don't ride the bench anymore to learn, unless they're playing poorly (see Maybin). The Rams Bradford wasn't going to play for a while either and that plan lasted about 10 minutes. :rolleyes:
