Cardale Jones scouting report: Tantalizing NFL skills can't hide inexperience
"Jones has shown potential that reminds many of Cam Newton’s out of Auburn. Jones (6-5, 250) has the ideal body type, ample arm strength across the field and took great advantage of receiver Devin Smith on more than a few deep balls in the Big Ten title game against Wisconsin, the championship semifinal against Alabama and the national championship.
He’s big, strong and tall enough to stand in the pocket and develop there, especially critical for close fourth-quarter games in the NFL. And he has the coveted mobility and power as a runner to not only threaten teams outside the pocket, but pick up substantial chunks of yardage and break tackles in the secondary."

"His size as a human being is almost as big as his arm. He almost feels like a stronger Cam Newton less intent on running the ball."

"The quarterback's meteoric rise from third-stringer to starting quarterback for a national title winner is the stuff that those around the state of Ohio will talk about for decades to come. He won three straight games against the three 2014 Heisman Trophy finalists as an underdog, earning comparisons toCam Newton and Ben Roethlisberger due to his size and arm strength."
Asked for an NFL comparison for Jones, Miller pointed to Cam Newton, whom the Carolina Panthers selected first overall in 2011.
"There aren’t many guys who are that big, that fast and have an arm like that," Miller said. "Cam was so inexperienced when he came out of Auburn too. He had one year in the NCAA and really didn’t work in a real advanced-passing offense. He was just kind of an athlete with a big arm, and I think Jones is the same thing.”
But the 6'5", 248-pound Newton had at least had a full season under his belt, capturing a Heisman Trophy en route to leading Auburn to a national championship in 2010. While Jones' three starts may have been on the three largest stages possible, they still are only three starts. That leaves many to wonder what he'd look like—for better or worse—with an entire season under his belt.
they obviously don't know football if they think 12 & Cam plays similar..
