NFL.com analyst Bucky Brooks is still beating the drum for former Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton to wind up in Jacksonville with the Jaguars, and potentially four other teams. The veteran passer was released from the team that made him the first pick in the 2011 NFL Draft last week.
“Newton’s personality might scare off the Jaguars’ coaching staff and executives based on their recent experiences with some alpha dogs.” writes Brooks. “That said, he would be a significant upgrade over Gardner Minshew and Newton’s athleticism would help coach Doug Marrone stick to a ground-and-pound attack with the running game leading the way.
