If he didn't there were teams lining up to draft him. If he had drafted Gabbert the league would still be laughing at us. Even with all our success the last 3 years, they're still doubting us.

This!!

A lot of people (even Panther fans) don't realize Newton was the CONSENSUS #1 PICK by the time that draft rolled around in April.

Unfortunately, many of us only seem to remember TV analyst opinions. But they're not NFL people. Nor, do they do the research, film break down and interviews that NFL teams do.

Big Cat and Rivera wanted Cam...

By all accounts he was Hurney's choice too, but Cam was the pick rregardless. 

Yup

And this is because, both the NFL and Panther scouting services answered all the questions on Cam's pocket skills, coach-ability/hard work and "character".

Unfortunately, many Panthers fans-like the Media, didn't get the memo. But NFL teams did. There was no question the Panthers were going to pick Cam. And so would Buff with the second pick, and their GM as much said so when asked.

Funny. I thought it was lack of talent that ruined him.

But yes, analysts were fooled into thinking he was a decent prospect because of where he went to school.

Man, I'm a ND fan, and I watched our pick get closer and closer , I knew we were going to pick to him. Hated that day.
