Chris Hovan’s opinion is valued these days?

Brian:

Wasn’t the spread Newton ran more a wingback-based, where Newton was as much a running back as quarterback?

Pet peeve: someone learn the difference in “spreads”. The spread newton played in (run-based, and option) is not the same as bradford’s, come on. Aaron Rodgers ran a west-coast spread at Cal – and took a ton of 5 and 7 step drops. he’s not remotely a good comparison.

cam newton may not have made 20 nfl-type reads in his whole career.

Newton is a bust. I can’t believe anyone thinks otherwise. He’s just an unintelligent person. There is all kinds of proof of this out there. He showed he doesn’t know his college teams terminology on Gruden’s show. He has a crap wonderlic score. He was stupid enough to endanger his chances of success in college and making it to the NFL by robbing a fellow student for their laptop. Oh and he cheated in school also because he was either too stupid or too unmotivated(or both) to be able to pass tests.

Its one thing to take a flyer in the 4th round on a wide reciever like Mike Williams who had to cheat to try and pass classes. Its another thing entirely to spend the #1 overall pick in the draft on a QB with so many red flags. Insanity. I dearly hope for the Bucs sake that the Panthers do draft Newton. I have little doubt that Raheem will be able to scheme his coverages to bewilder Newton for years to come. Hopefully they don’t come to their senses and draft Gabbert instead.

After watching Gruden’s QB Specials, I liked Gabbert and Dalton the best. Newton may have some success, but it will be more in the lines of a soon to be unemployed QB from the Titans.

With all that evaluation Chucky is doing he should have fired Allan and drafted himself ,and how did he let Rodgers go him being the guru and all i know he grilled Arron Rodgers,I sure hope Cam does fine,so what if he sucked in front of Chucky some will wow you answering questions and doing drills and others are performers,I remember this other kid named Josh Freeman that couldnt read defenses,so the gurus said.I hope the kid does fine

Oh, looky. Chris Hovan shaves his armpits. How cute. Not even a German chick will do that.

Big Marlon B:

It was always my impression that Tedford ran a spread-option, or a variation of, at Cal, which is why his players have stunk in the NFL.

Remember seeing a feature on him on BSPN where his offense was such a maverick type of offense.

@ Jonny…..very easy for Hovan to forget him. it’s probably a repressed memory like a childhood rape lol. btw, Jeff Otah aint too bad either…

LOL @ Panthers only having Jordan Gross. Bucs would be lucky to have a center like Ryan Kalil. How could he forget guard Travelle Wharton, the guy who mauled Hovan and Sims during 08-09 debacles?

sorry Dave, I just saw that you made pretty much the same point I did about Newton. That was a pretty damning moment for him, I believe.
