Last year, a scathing assessment of quarterback Cam Newton from Nolan Nawrocki of Pro Football Weekly stirred up a storm of criticism and debate in the weeks preceding the draft.

In the end, the critique didn’t keep Newton from being the first overall pick in the draft.  Or from having the best rookie season of any quarterback in NFL history.

This year, with the Redskins in the process of converting their penciled-in selection of Griffin to tattoo ink, Bob McGinn of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinelshares some negative views on Griffin, from multiple unnamed scouts.

“‘Everybody is just assuming because of the Heisman and the socks and all that bs. . . . they are ignoring a lot of bad tape that he’s had,’” one scout told McGinn.  “‘I don’t think he has vision or pocket feel, which to me are the two most important components of quarterbacking.  He’s just running around winging it.  He’s [Michael] Vick, but not as good a thrower.’

“He has better arm action and is more accurate with his deep ball, but he’s not as good as Cam Newton,” another scout said.  “As much as is written about his athleticism, his athleticism under duress in the pocket isn’t even close to Cam Newton’s.  This guy, the only way he gets big plays with his feet is if he’s got a wide-open field and the sea opens for him.  He’s got a little bit of a selfish streak, too.  Everybody was laying on Cam, but for some reason this guy has become gloves off.  He doesn’t treat anybody good.”

Another scout “questioned the way Griffin deals with people.”

In our assessment, Griffin has been treated well by the media because there has been no evidence of anything to suggest that there may be a problem with his interpersonal skills.  Newton had off-field issues, along with a certain sense of entitlement/grandiosity that bled through from time to time in the things he said.  Griffin has performed well whenever in the media spotlight, coming off as down to earth and well-adjusted, even as the trophies and attention and hype have piled up at his doorstep.  If there are scouts who view Griffin as selfish and as someone who “doesn’t treat anybody good” (how can we expect kids to use proper English when the adults routinely talk like cavemen?), they haven’t previously said so.

And now that the Redskins have long since locked on to Griffin, how can anyone regard any anonymous criticism of Griffin as inherently credible?

McGinn also reports on the Wonderlic scores of multiple quarterback prospects.  None are dramatically high or low, which means that no one will be saying much of anything about them.

Meanwhile, Nawrocki’s assessment of Griffin’s negatives focus only on on-field issues like height, experience in the one-look shotgun spread offense, his sidearm/three-quarters delivery, a tendency to vacate the pocket prematurely, and a delay in seeing and sensing pressure.  There’s nothing about any failure to “treat anybody good” or selfishness.

If there were real concerns about Griffin’s treatment of others and/or selfishness, the information surely would have come out a long time ago, not long after Griffin’s spot at the top of the draft board was secured

Florio is a Jets-hating instigator.  His lapdogs are in line for his blogs.

Love how Steelers fans and Dolphins fan troll and trash the Jets.  Both think they're winning the Lombardi this season.

[TechJet]

Thats outrageous

[Gastineau Lives]

I never read one negative thing about Geno Smith's attitude until he became property of the Jets. I may not have been looking in the right places (I'm not being facetious here) has anyone else?

I never read one negative thing about Geno Smith's attitude until he became property of the Jets. I may not have been looking in the right places (I'm not being facetious here) has anyone else?

 

First, this article is a year old.  kind of old news.

 

It was bound to happen to whichever team drafted him.  He fell for a reason (e.g. attitude or not as good when looking at his film).  Hugh Douglas said Geno comes like Newton did in this article (entitled).

PFT rips Cam's "fake smile" and he becomes a stud

 

PFT rips RG3's "ability to deal with people" and he becomes a stud

 

PFT rips Geno's "leadership" and he becomes a ?????????????

 

PFT's track record speaks for itself, a bunch of jokers

Anti jets bias'd

We need a circus-cision.

Mike Florio is a turd.

[stoicsentry]

I'm not one to cry racism, but there does seem to be a pattern there...

[PatriotReign37]

We need a circus-cision.  

 

Or a Rexorcism.

Were they really wrong about Cam?  He has been good, but he seemed to lose a bit of his bloom last year.

 

RGIII had a great rookie season, but lets see where he goes.  I am not saying he is overated, but he has only played one season.

 

Geno you shall see.  Hugh Douglas likened him to Vince Young and Cam Newton.  That i snot a good comparison.

And Gil Brandt and Amani Toomer said all that was bullsh*t. So what?

[SenorGato]

Geno Smith is going to be 2002 Pennington+ for a whole career.

Anyone who so misscouted RGIII needs to be fired. And to break his chops about off the field is really insane. By every account he's a military brat with some brains. Did they talk to this guy and really look into his background, or did they merely make some wildy unfounded assumptions about him strictly based on his hairstyle?

[RSJ]

The bottom line is that if Geno plays well, no one cares if he kills puppies in his spare time. It's really that simple. Aaron Rodgers is very sensitive and some could say he is a baby. That same sensitivity and babiness is what drives him to be the best. Not saying Geno will be great and it's really not a huge deal to the Jets one way or the other. He is a second round pick, not second overall and Gerard couldn't be a better mentor to him. So I'm optimistic - but either way its not a huge deal.

Unfortunately we have real-life evidence that people will in fact care, they'll care a lot.

Maybe it is something, maybe it is nothing time will tell.

 

Maybe Geno was having a bad day when he met Hugh.

 

There was a reason Geno, and all the others dropped.
