This article had all the classics lined up for comparing one black QB to another, red flag, one read and only sees half the field.
Comparing Newton, Young at this stage
I asked an AFC scout (who will remain anonymous)
Interesting stuff, I hope you'll agree ...
AFC Scout:
“Cam is a one-year player at a major college level ... Cam is tougher both physically and mentally than VY. Both are similar with the retention and fast processing of information, [but] it will be a struggle for Cam as well. VY was a much better game manager -- he made others around him better. Cam is a one-read and run player. VY would scramble, look downfield to make a throw and run as a last resort.
"Both are half-field read QBs; they both struggle to scan the field. Cam is stronger in the pocket, has ability to scramble and avoid and make throws under pressure. He will have to learn patience in the NFL. That is not something the Titans had to worry about with VY -- he was patient. Cam needs to go to a team that will develop him, that is imperative. The questions I can’t answer right now are:
How much he loves the game and is he willing to work at it? We know what the Titans came to believe about how VY felt about the extra work.
“They are very similar players overall, based on height-weight-speed and success on college level. Both have that 'me' attitude and personality. Cam can separate himself as a quarterback if he is willing to work at his craft, but
so far he is a run-and-hide-from issues type person and has made a number of questionable decisions in his short college career. That should be a huge red flag."

This is the same writer who complained about Migos being played at the Tennessee Titans games.
