While we're at least "brushing up against" this subject, I'll take this opportunity to make a point that unfortunately COULD have been made on-the-field, but instead so far is only going to be "half-made", apparently, thanks to shortsightedness and stupidity (especially Ryan's, of the Jets--but it extends in all directions, both in the NFL AND the media/sporting world at large)). That is, the very differences between the two, Tim and Cam, that you speak of--as players and men--where on the one hand we are witnessing and will see more and more that "slide" in effectiveness on Newton's part as the league adapts to his natural skills and style-of-play, but he does NOT (that would require intelligence, determination, and strength-of-character, the very things that Cam has always been short on, and that now severely limit him). At the same time, as we began to see so dramatically at Denver but which Elway PURPOSEFULLY shipped out (along with the future of the Bronco program), these same traits have always been as much Tebow's strengths as his unique physical skills--and they extend on and OFF the field--but Ryan and the Jets appear determined to limit him to the narrow uses Meyer put him to back in his freshman year of college. We can only hope that one day, whether here in New York by necessity and circumstance, or through the unpredictable chains of chance, cause and effect that occur in the course of cockeyed-commerce and NFL-careers, either through some coach's bold intention or the unforeseen product of landing in a desperate situation, TT gets the opportunity to show all the talents and skills he had to start, and those he subsequently has accumulated and acquired in the meanwhile through all of this--and we all get to watch him show the world what he only began to show the first small portion of last season in Denver, when he was so young, everything, even forces on his own team, stacked against him and at best a "fair-to-middling" NFL squad around him, was able to so excitingly accomplish.
