Cam's new mentor

A step down from Warren Moon.

Cam gets a very apt mentor.

Remember Ken Dorsey? Big career at Miami (Fla.) a decade ago, with some limited success as a (mostly) NFL backup quarterback. Interesting that he just finished eight days working with the first pick in the draft, Carolina quarterback Cam Newton, and they'll be back at it again today in Bradenton, Fla.

There's a good reason Dorsey and Newton have become workout and classroom partners. In 2001 and 2002, Dorsey, at Miami, was coached by Hurricane offensive coordinator Rob Chudzinski. In 2007 and 2008, Dorsey, with the Cleveland Browns, was coached by Browns offensive coordinator Chudzinski.

Newton was able to get a Carolina playbook, with Panthers offensive coordinator Chudzinski's encyclopedic offense, to take with him during the lockout. Dorsey spent last week instructing Newton in the finer points of the offense, in addition to telling him the expectations and coaching methods of Chudzinski.

"The best way to describe it,'' said the quarterback coach who readied Newton for his pre-draft workouts, George Whitfield, "is it's like an old pilot grooming a new pilot to take over his plane. The old pilot's teaching him about every one of the controls in the cockpit.''

It sounds smart and valuable. Compared to the other highly drafted quarterbacks, Newton ought to be as advanced as he can be when the lockout ends. How important will that be? We'll see, because there's going to be a tremendous amount of pressure on the Panthers to play Newton early.

Dorsey was a sick sick QB in college though. Not the best physical tools in the world, but he had brains and more brains. The U was practically unbeatable with him at the helm. I think he makes a great teacher. Remember, the best teachers in sports werent always the most physically gifted players.

Some great coaches were average players. More than a few never played at high levels.

No, Montgomery. Mt. Meigs to be exact. He played his freshman year as a TE but graduated as a starting WR.

Are you talking about Snaggle? I was asking if he played at Pelham under Rick Rhodes.

I may be giving simp too much credit here, but I believe he was stating that Snaggie went to juvi at Mount Meigs, where he came in with a tight anus (TE) and left with a stretched anus (WR) due to being anally raped so often.

It's not funny if you have to explain it.

Unless that's not what he was saying, and I'm simply fantasizing about anally raping Snaggie. That's a possibility.

Yep, that's what he meant but unfortunately, he was wrong. Snaggie is the stretchER...not the stretchEE.

You are correct. I didn't think I needed to explain I was messing with Snaggle. Not to mention anyone who has lived in this State has probably heard such Mt. Meigs reference when they were in grade school.

So I guess you didn't play any at Center position either?
