I was reading the 2011 CBS remock and both of the writers had JJ Watt going first overall. Cam slipped to 2nd and 3rd in the redrafts, btw.

Knowing what we know now, would you still take Cam over JJ Watt, who is quickly becoming the best pass rusher the league has ever seen? If you spent this offseason shitposting about "BPA! BPA!" would you still think that Cam is BPA over JJ?

 

Oh yeah and please don't turn this into yet another "CAM HATER!!" witch hunt/circlejerk please, you have a bunch of other threads to valiantly defend a million dollar athlete against the legion of evil sports writers who are probably saints and cowboys fans.

Tempting, but if you take Watt over Cam the Panthers essentially become what the Texans are now: dominant defense with no QB stuck in mediocrity because of Brees in New Orleans and Ryan in Atlanta who would far outperform whatever we managed to pick off the scrap heap.

The defense would be too good to tank for Luck or RG3 the next year but maybe we pick Tannehill which then leaves another generational talent Kuechly on the board.

There's still an element of need when it comes to BPA so I doubt DG would have passed him up. If Hurney saw the talent was there I'm sure DG would have as well.

Look at it this way in a redraft with the two first rounders and the one second rounder from 2011 and 2012:

 

Cam Newton and Luke Kuechly

 

or

 

JJ Watt and Andrew Luck 

 

or 

 

JJ Watt, Luke Kuechly, and Russell Wilson

 

3 options to find that QB.

Fun fact, if you reverse our first round draft orders for 2011 and 2012, we could have picked JJ Watt and Luck instead of Cam and Luke.

I think the results would have been the same to this point. Luck would have had as much success as Cam. however, Cam has the higher ceiling if he can solve his accuracy issues.

      Not sure how much he was a long term piece of this team.   Sucks to not have him as part of the rotation.   Looks like it's Lee Hunter time.

      I am not sure he will put the over the games but we’ll probably have them.   Two things I am thinking.  We have 4 preseason games.  All the coaches have enough service time to know the standards that are in place for decades. If I recall it was play your starters just a series to start woth and build it up until week theee where play a lot and you have week four to set hour roster. Evaluate before cuts.   Bevell will certainly have the whole thing down pat.   I’d they don’t do the fries and frie air will worry too. Because it is set up to do that.     I have said since they went t three preseason people have to figure a new way are still feeling it out and trying things.  We don’t have to this year.
