Doug Gottlieb knows exactly what the problem with Cam Newton is. He is a running QB and the Panthers are trying to make him a pocket passer which he just isn’t. He has used his freakish athleticism to overcome his inaccurate passing but it’s not enough to stay competitive in today’s NFL.
Gottlieb sees Andrew Luck and Cam Newton as the 'Great What ifs,' who look the part of the NFL quarterback but they've both taken beatings in this league. Luck is already done and the league has clearly left Newton behind.
“What Cam Newton does best has been run the football. The only thing that really matters is: can you throw from the pocket? The answer is: no, he cannot! They’re trying to make him into a pocket passer…and that just ain’t it!”
