I will add something I found interesting about Cam Newton now that I am thinking about it.
He ran a simple offense in College that let him just be an athlete. I also question his mental makeup. It has been interesting watching Gruden interact with some of these guys. Newton's facial expressions when Gruden would bring up something negative were the most reactionary of any of the QB's he had on there, while Locker and Dalton seemed to handle it the best. Makes me wonder how Newton will react when he is not winning every week and the pressure and criticism mount if he is thrust into a savior role.
I think Locker's attitude is the one thing that will serve him well, but he needs a lot of work. He improved under Sarkisian, but Sark has a real knack with QB's and even he couldn't get Locker to where he needed to be. For you older guys I think Locker could end up resembling Bobby Douglas a lot more than he resembles Brett Favre he can't improve his pocket accuracy.
