I certainly like what I see in Newman, and it will be refreshing to enjoy one year of a true & seasoned dual threat QB. But I'm going on record right now and saying that I'm reserving my excitement until I see what Newman looks like against SEC defenses and a completely different playbook and offensive philosophy from what he ran at WF. He's also facing defenses in the SEC that are orders of magnitude faster and bigger than what he faced in the ACC. The thing that struck me in watching some of those videos was how slow the ACC defenses are. It's almost as if some of them are in slow motion compared to what we're used to seeing.
To be effective from Game 1, my money says he's sitting with Monken, Faulkner, and Coley and discussing the creation of the playbook and learning it from the ground up. Not a lot of transfer QB's get the chance to essentially review and provide input to the playbook as its being crafted. So that goes in his favor, vs. a transfer QB that comes into an established system. Still, for Newman, there's a lot of kinks that have to be worked out that can only be worked out on the playing fields in the fall. Let's hope those are minor and short lived, because our schedule gets real in week #3.
