Why it makes sense
Cam Newton is a guy you can plug in and run an offense with without needing to worry about whether or not he has what it takes. With a good offseason of recovery, his legs may still allow him to add a dynamic to the offense that you don’t have with standard pocket QBs.
Cam has 10 years of experience under his belt. He’s beaten some very good teams over the years and has won an NFC championship.
Why it doesn’t make sense
To be real here, Cam is on the wrong end of his career. In my personal opinion, his game was built off his freakish athleticism and that is starting to go away or at least be a liability for injury at this stage in his career.
