There are a wide variety of areas that should concern NFL teams and were app
arent when I went back and reviewed tape on Newton, but the three most signi
ficant are:
1. Footwork
To say Newton's footwork was inconsistent would be giving it credit it doesn
't deserve; it was almost as if this part of his game was an afterthought.
One clear-cut example of this occurred on the opening play of the second qua
rter of the game against the Arkansas Razorbacks. Newton had Darvin Adams wi
de open in the end zone but badly overthrew the pass.
At first glance, the blame for the incompletion would seem to fall on the li
neman who allowed an Arkansas defender to push him a couple of steps backwar
d into the pocket.
Upon closer inspection, though, it became clear that Newton was actually at
fault because his drop wasn't deep enough. He should have been nine yards aw
ay from the line of scrimmage but ended up only eight yards back.
Had he been at the proper nine-yard depth, he would have had room to step in
to the pass. Instead, he had to adjust his delivery to avoid the defender's
arm, leading to the overthrow and a missed 26-yard touchdown pass.
This was one of many instances last season where Newton either got too much
or too little depth in the pocket.
2. Lack of urgency in his backpedal
One of the recurring mantras of nearly every offensive coordinator in the NF
L is that the quarterback get back in his drop as quickly as possible. Most
passing plays require the ball to be in the air by the three-second mark. Th
e faster the quarterback can get to the spot where the ball is to be deliver
ed from, the more likely he is to get the ball off on time.
Getting back to his launch point quickly is something that Newton almost nev
er did. A telling instance of this nature occurred late in the first quarter
of the Kentucky game.
The play called for a play-action fake and a seven-step drop. Newton's first
mistake was to turn his head to watch the runner for a very short time afte
r the fake handoff. While that may have been in an effort to throw off the d
efense, it also delayed Newton from getting his head around to look at the c
overage.
That was only one part of a very deliberate drop and it was a key reason it
took Newton 2.1 seconds to get his head around to start looking downfield. T
he two extra steps Newton took in an effort to get his entire body into the
pass compounded the delay and ended up allowing a Kentucky cornerback to lea
ve one area of coverage on the field and get over to help force an incomplet
ion. Had Newton been just a bit faster in any part of his drop or delivery,
he would have been able to hit his receiver for a 34-yard touchdown pass.
3. Not stepping into passes to avoid contact
A third major issue that showed up in the tape review was Newton's propensit
y to let go of passes a step early to brace himself for a hit from a defende
r.
This occurred all season long, but it was potentially most costly in the BCS
title game against the Oregon Ducks. Auburn was down 11-7 and had a fourth-
and-goal at the Ducks 1-yard line late in the second quarter.
When errors of this nature are added to Newton's off-field issues and his in
consistent combine performance, both from a physical and mental perspective,
it emphasizes just how much of a risk he is.
The play called for the running back to fake a block and then release on a s
hort pass into the end zone. Everything worked fine on the route, except tha
t an Oregon defender read the play and started to blitz.
The defender wasn't quite moving at full speed because he had initially stop
ped to bite on a run fake by Newton. This meant Newton had enough time to st
ep into the pass and take what ended up being not much of a hit.
Instead of doing that, Newton decided to try to wing the pass with his arm.
The resulting underthrow led to an incompletion and kept six points off of t
he board in the championship contest.
These three areas combined for dozens of Newton's mistakes during the season
, and this is far from a comprehensive list. When errors of this nature are
added to Newton's off-field issues and his inconsistent combine performance,
from a physical and mental perspective, it emphasizes just how much of a ri
sk he is.
The odds are quite good that some team will be saying the same thing about N
ewton a year from now that the Broncos are saying about Tebow today. Whether
or not those comments come with a Tebow-like case of buyer's remorse will d
epend on if that team was foolish enough to invest a first-round pick on New
ton's potential. | s***p
