Oldskool Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Oh please I would LOVE for them to take Newton. He's a prototypical Cowgirl player: Million dollar talent and 50 cent brain. By Todd Archer ESPNDallas.com Archive INDIANAPOLIS -- One of the 60 interviews the Dallas Cowboys will conduct with draft prospects at the NFL scouting combine over the next few days will be with Heisman Trophy winner Cam Newton, according to vice president/director of player personnel Stephen Jones. Newton led Auburn to a BCS championship in his one year as a starter, throwing for 2,854 yards and rushing for 1,473 and combining for 50 touchdowns. "I think obviously that position of quarterback you're immediately going to start looking for leadership," Jones said. "You're going to start looking for intangibles, and his physical abilities are pretty good. As far as in an interview, you're looking for a guy who is going to be the face of your organization that you feel like will be a leader for your team and is a winner." The Cowboys hold the ninth pick in the first round of April's draft and have not drafted a quarterback in the first round since selecting Troy Aikman with the No. 1 overall pick in 1989. Interviewing Newton should be viewed as the Cowboys learning as much as they can about a player who burst onto the scene in one year, not a surefire sign they would draft him. "This is what we do every year," Jones said. "You got to do all your work because you never know what's going to happen in a draft. It's part of doing your diligence as a personnel department. You can never assume anything and you can't leave any stone unturned. Give [director of college and pro scouting] Tom [Ciskowski] and our guys a lot of credit; they work hard at it and we get prepared."

onedrop Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 What's so bad about drafting Cam Newton? hes not the guy for us, the cow****es dont need him, and it would be jerruh wasting his most valuable pick just to make a splash and or to prevent us from getting him. its the perfect scenario. unless of course one actually wants the Skins to draft him.

SWFLSkins Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I really don't think the Cowboys need to spend such a high pick on Newton, and the Redskins may not have a choice but to go with a gamble at QB. That said I don't know if Cam is the guy or not for either team. I guess this is one of those :whoknows: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audible_Red40 Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 1 of 60 interviews...........that means he's one of the best 60 players to interview based on being a prospect. There is no way Dallass takes him at 9. NO WAY! What a waste of writing space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ouvan59 Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 1 of 60 interviews...........that means he's one of the best 60 players to interview based on being a prospect. There is no way Dallass takes him at 9. NO WAY! What a waste of writing space. This happens every year. If you look back to this time last year we were talking to a bunch of guys that we weren't going to draft. There's a lot of subterfuge going on with teams. Nobody wants to show their hand so you talk to everybody. You can't just talk to the guys you want. That being said, I would be giddy if Dallas made this pick.

Taylor 36 Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 They probably won't take him, but I would be happy if they did; though, I really doubt we would take him so it doesn't matter. It would be funny to see Dallas waste their pick like that, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destructis Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Even Dallas talking about it has to be a shot at Romo sits to pee. Smoke screen or not, Romo sits to pee will have this in the back of his mind until the draft. If someone takes Newton before Dallas picks, he will always wonder if Dallas would have used the pick on him or not. I see this a win for the Skins no matter what happens now.

MadMonkey Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 You guys are crazy if you really think the Cowboys will draft Newton. Just about every team in the league will probably interview him at the combine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitman21ST Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 What's so bad about drafting Cam Newton? Tony Romo sits to pee, Jon Kitna, a need in the defensive backfield and on the offensive line... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RocketCitySkins Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Cam's been invited to Charlotte for a private workout with the Panthers. I'll be surprised if he goes 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veteranskinsfan Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 I just hope Dallas or Carolina takes him so Shanny is not tempted to make a big mistake. Our first pick has to be on defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HailToTheRedskins14 Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Georgia actually recruited Newton as a Tight End (great job Mark Richt!) so maybe we can draft him at 10 and put him behind Cooley, Big Sleepy, and that Logan dude and continue our dominance of the Tight End position.

Dallascrushers Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Would be a dumb pick honestly but hey go ahead and do it Dallas well they made a dumb pic last year with Dez Bryant when they had so many needs that needed to be addressed on the defensive side...(although Dez is an absolute beast...so maybe long term isn't a bad pick, but short term it is) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tr1 Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 You fellas are not reading Jerruh's quote... He said he wants a QB with LEADERSHIP ability...because, you see, right now he doesn't have one. Look for Romo sits to pee to be traded, if not this year, then next. ---------- Post added February-27th-2011 at 07:03 PM ---------- well they made a dumb pic last year with Dez Bryant when they had so many needs that needed to be addressed on the defensive side...(although Dez is an absolute beast...so maybe long term isn't a bad pick, but short term it is) Oh, oh...somebody is on the 'talent' train again. He's a beast alright...a guy who the GM dressed down in the press late in the season. You puke fans are too funny. :rotflmao: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjfootballer Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Personally I think Carolina takes him 1st overall. I don't know why, I got an itchy feeling just watching and reading the news here in Charlotte. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhead36 Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Romo sits to pee is a 31 year old QB coming off a major shoulder injury. Wouldn't shock me at all if Dallas took a QB but they'd be more likely to take Jerruh's razorback boy Ryan Mallett(who will be a colossal bust in the NFL imo).
