Remember when many in the Huddle felt screwed when Luck decided to stay in school? Turns out they weren't the only ones feeling that their team missed the boat. Cam would have likely been a Buffalo Bill, as Luck would have been the presumptive first round pick, and Denver would have picked Von Miller (like they probably would have---I don't care what Elway says).  But playing Elway's game, If Denver would have picked Newton, then maybe they aren't Super Bowl 50 champions if they had skipped on Von Miller. Who knows? The only thing that we can say for sure is that Buffalo really got screwed.

Still, the Bills, five years later, sound a tad disappointed with the outcome of that draft. Because at one point, they thought they were going to snag Newton. According to Bills general manager Doug Whaley -- then the assistant GM -- Andrew Luck's decision to remain at Stanford for another season cost the Bills their chance to draft Newton.

"When we first started the draft process, we thought we'd have a good shot at Newton," Whaley told Sports Illustrated for its oral history of the 2011 draft. "[Stanford quarterback] Andrew Luck, had he come out, would have been the first pick. Denver was at No. 2, and they didn't need a QB. So we thought, 'We'll get Cam at No. 3.'"

They really seem to dislike the potential of Tyrod.  I don't get it; he must not fit the mold of what they're looking for. 

Rumor is plenty teams are eyeing QBs this draft outside of just Philly and STL...I mean LA. 

There are rumors about the Saints, 49ers, Browns per the usual, Broncos, Jets, Buffalo, & Arizona.  A lot of opportunities to have Hackenburg and Lynch go earlier than expected.  *fingers crossed.

I was crushed when Luck decided to go back to school. Then I thought Cam looked really great, but I came on here and fans HATED him. They wanted to draft ANYONE else, or bring in Carson Palmer ect, Huddle Panther fans thought Cam was going to be another bust like fat ass Russel. Then we got close to the draft and fans started to come around. Those were wild times. Then Auburn fans took over the forum for about a year to support Cam and blame the Panthers for anything that went wrong. Things have settled now thank goodness. Cam is a fuging beast. If we had an average QB we'd be below .500.

      I would write “give remmers tight end help” on a yellow sticky note and stuck it in shulas playbook the night before superbowl 50.

      Nothing wrong with it at all until you start telling others they are bad fans or not fans. But you are the good fan because you never say negative stuff about the team.    I did many years of that type of uninformed fanning because there really was no info and coverage like there is with the internet.    I mean, I used to go to the store and get Street and Smith’s annual football issue. That was about the extent of what you could get if you didn’t live in a big city with sportswriters covering and reporting.  There was no video to look at or replay the games and if you didn’t live in the market you could only rarely see your football team play.    TI have fanned since being a kid in the early 1960s, and as late as 1995 - ‘97 I lived in Atlanta and good luck getting more than 3 or 4 games a year on TV. No radio either. No print coverage outside of an AP recap and box unless they played Atlanta.  People today that have always had the network connection don’t know.    I wasn’t very educated about the Panthers until I finally got internet.
