Coaches largely don't let Cam Newton's happen. They become DEs long before NFL draft time.

66% completion vs 53% completion 30 passing TD vs 17 passing TD 20 rushing TD vs 9 rushing TD 4300 total yards vs 3200 total yards An average SEC QB that can run isn't Cam lite. Cam is a unicorn that probably doesn't even need to be talked about. There won't be a next Cam.

Cam Newton day 1 in the NFL was the dominant physical runner at the QB position in NFL history. That's what made him special. Cam Newton was a unicorn.

Batted balls are going to happen. Especially if you like to stay in the pocket. Defensive lineman are too big and athletic vs offensive lineman. and you can't get predictable. I mean, if Julius Peppers largely knows what you want to do. Over doing RPOs for example. His mitts are getting on the ball. You could be 7ft tall and playing QB. Baker having a batted ball fest that exceeded his norm was Rhule over doing the RPO stuff and defenses just being able to time up too much.

I assume it’s more the old school model where you have an athlete personality in 89 and a “nobody” that is just there to largely steer 89 to do his thing. Which sort of doesn’t exist anymore in a lot of the new popular sports type stuff or podcast in general.

way to early to grade him. See Jeff Otah. Historically deemed one of our worst picks by the board. Horn is off to a worse start than Otah.

give me drums and tots too. But a good breakfast is the best meal you can eat.

Also after the Super Bowl, the NFL machine will do its thing. How the prospects are portrayed today will be viewed different in the coming months I suspect. So we will have to see what it looks like then and who gets bumped and up down.

Keep Fields and get some dumb team to do what SF did for Lance. got to wonder if the last QB trade ups are going to cause outlandish offers to comeback down to Earth a tad.

I mean, you pair a rookie QB with the worst HC in decades and give him bad talent….and he won’t play good. Trevor didn’t. I guess call that what you want. They fixed the glaring issues around an uber talent and saw immediate success. From #1 overall pick to advancing in the playoffs in the same year. Trevor didn’t change that much in an off-season. Fields went to a horrific spot year 1. It improved some year 2 and so did he. But still isn’t a good spot for a QB let alone a young one. I’d take him for a 3rd all day and twice on Sunday. Regardless of what my QB spot was.

Jags had the #1 overall pick last year. It wasn’t because of Trevor Lawrence. It was their horrific HC and absence of talent around the QB. Good HC and some basic additions at RB, WR and TE and boom. Fields went to a horrible situation. Talent coming out his ears. Calling him Josh Rosen like is just weird stuff IMO.

Whoever that is just equated Justin Fields to Josh Rosen. I don’t see that. I would think tons of teams would take Fields and his rookie contract for that. Those who need or even don’t need a starter. That’s just seems too cheap for Fields. Who did near historic stuff on the ground this year with bad offensive weapons

Fields would already be gone if you could get him for that

There is offset language in NFL HC contracts. It’s just standard. It benefits the Panthers. Rhule getting a job and not sitting out….benefited Tepper. Saved him money. Frankly, Tepper got insanely lucky Rhule managed to get that good of a job. Tepper made a stupid contract. Paid Rhule too much. He seems to have a hard time dealing with his early stupid moves. Doesn’t seem more complex than that. I don’t see this great Tepper argument. Rhule contract was what it was. He owes him the money. Nebraska gig saved him a little. A lot actually. He should be grateful someone was that stupid to pay Rhule.

If he? You mean if Nebraska? Nebraska can do whatever the fug they want. Panthers owed Rhule X amount of dollars. They were cool with that. They fired him. He could of sat out and taken it all. He got another job which will reduce what the Panthers owe him.
