so why are we all wasting our breath? I am not a Cam fan because of his character issues mainly, but it really doesn't matter. JR will never take a player like Cam with all of his questionable character issues. I said the same thing when Vick was a free agent and half this board wanted him. JR is a family man and regardless of what you think about him there aren't many who question his integrity.

thats what I have been saying

People are getting their hopes up for no reason. Here is another one for the Vince Young fans. JR will not get him either for the same reasons. Anyone that has kept up with the Panthers for any period of time cannot in good faith really believe either of these players are possibilities.

Thank you.

What are his character issues?

[monstercat]

He doesn't have anymore character issues than Steve Smith did and he would put more butts in the seats, which would help JR's bottom line trememdously.

Yea, as much of a change in JR as we're seeing these days (who can argue that point...) I don't think it'd be a stretch to believe he'd relax his "character requirements" too, to try to placate the obviously irate fanbase.

Vick was in prison though..had a list a mile long of character/moral/legal issues.


Cam Newton is as clean as Kasay compared to Vick. If Richardson doesn't want him, it will probably be because he talked it over with MH and both agreed that they wouldn't know how to develop him.

Smitty was a 1st rounder, Cam Newton is probably going in the 1st. If we take him, that's 1st overall, biiiiiiiiig difference. If you look at the history of our drafting, we take chances on character issues after the first round, but when all the money's on the line, we take take the saints man lol

Smitty was a 3rd rounder....

^ This. Also, remember we don't have our HC yet. He could have a plan to develop Newton & might be able to convince JR to pick him up.

Wow you people place to much on "character." Let he who is without sin cast the first stone. This play it safe crap has been screwing us over for years its time to take a chance again. JR sounds like a man who had his heart broken by a girl 12 years ago. Oh she hurt me i'm never going to date again lol. Seriously lets put on our big boy pants and start drafting like the rest of the league. Bottomline do you want a role model or a good damn football player. I want to win some games and we can't do that with the boys and girls club of america!

And I agree with him. Newton is a thug that has had repeated issues. he is a friggin one hit wonder in college and someone is going to pay dearly for drafting him high.

I just hope someone is dumb enough to offer us a Hershel Walker type trade for the first overall pick.
