I was pretty sure Cam wasn't going to throw at the Combine given his stock is already so high, but low and behold, it's quite the opposite: ... Newton, according to the NFL Network , has decided he will be throwing passes at this week's Combine. Gabbert,according to USA Today's Jim Corbett , is not expected to throw in Indianapolis and will instead wait until his Pro Day ...

Wow ... you guys really got after it yesterday. I was pleased to see that I was ahead in the "Who's the best GM poll?" poll, even though in the comments section I was taking a beating ahead of my anticipated pick for our beloved burgundy and gold ...
