It’s a fickle society we live in. You know the mantra, “what have you done for me lately?” We’re quick triggers with our emotions. This basis of judgment runs rampant in professional sports where we create premature legends and busts. Perhaps no other position in sports represents this up and down battle to capture the hearts of onlookers better than the quarterback. Take a look at Cam Newton. At 6-5, 245-pounds, the franchise quarterback for the Carolina Panthers represents the envy of decision makers and fear of opposing defenses. Newton’s rookie season in 2011 was one of the best we’ve seen, throwing for a rookie record 4,051 yards and rushing for a quarterback high of 14 touchdowns.

Vick should take cue of former scrambling Philly quarterback

This isn’t about the first year of newly minted Philadelphia Eagles million dollar man Michael Vick’s contract. More than likely year two will lend itself to more jaw-dropping aerial and ground displays. What has Eagles fans and outsiders raising eye brows is not the dollar signs (we’re talking $100 million-which is his second million dollar contract-with $40 million guaranteed), rather the six years the deal will span.
