I think some fans need to get on the same page as this dude from that article.

If I had to choose between a (quarterback) with great intangibles and average talent or (a quarterback with) average intangibles and great talent, I'd take the (stronger) intangibles every time." one veteran NFL executive said.

That's why you say hell no to guys like Newton and Clausen.
Quote:
"Only the tip of the iceberg has (been reported) about (Newton)," one NFL executive said. "He has won two national championships, won the Heisman (Trophy) and had great production in one year. He's an athlete with a strong arm. But there is so much there. ... Mark my words — the team that drafts him will have an owner who reports to himself or a GM who is planning to be retired on the beach in three years."

haha....a GM said this about Newton. I feel the same way.
