It ain't about his personality.

I mean, there is an element of it being his personality. He was controversial for always wearing his emotions on his sleeve but that guy loved football and loved winning.

Delhomme was that kind of guy too. Both intense competitors that were always emotional.

Meaning the comparisons between Richardson and Cam Newton aren't personality based.

I've been on the record of saying I love Richardson's talent and potential.

With that said, we'd be an awful landing spot for him. The Cam comparisons would come hot and heavy along with those types of expectations. He'd be much better off getting drafted by somebody like the Vikings or the Lions where he could sit and learn behind a decent vet for a year or two without the comparisons to a physically similar former NFL MVP hanging over his head.

Cam is his ceiling but let's be honest, Akili Smith is his floor. He's boom or bust. His game is either gonna translate and he's gonna be a stud or it won't and he'll be a total bust. I can't see anything in between. For the record, I said the exact same thing about Cam Newton.

Plus there is the obvious albatross of who would be developing him still to be answered.

TBH, I think maybe our path is a lot more clear when our staff is finalized. Well....and our draft position.

From 4 Man Rush...

Most of the respondents answered the latter.

He made a poll of it too. Only about 15% said they loved Richardson himself. About half (47%) said they just miss Cam and the other 38% said they'd rather have somebody else.

This is sad, but not surprising. Heck, people are still clamoring for the Panthers to bring Newton back. So, having what they consider a clone would be the next best thing.

For sure.

I won't be surprised to see the Giants all over Richardson. Daboll is the guy who developed Josh Allen.

If you want to actually break them down, they aren’t similar players coming out of college. 

Probably not, but that doesn't matter to some.

I've said before there are certain fans who, any time they see an athletic quarterback, think it's Cam come back to them.

Some folks don't seem to get how unique Newton was.

Right... this is hard to get thru to some posters... I have no issues with Corral and do believe if he's nearly as good as some posters here think he'll have a real shot to show it.

But the reality is he was a project, injured in a critical rookie season, with terrible coaching. Deck is stacked against him to put it lightly going into next season, even if he fits the new coach's scheme. And there's no way a GM or coach leans on him at all moving into the season.

Had it until there. Again, NOBODY knows that yet. 

It's very likely we see Matt Corral play. Matt Rhule's stupidity shouldn't be going such a long way to color a player a bust before his first official snap.

Why is the deck stacked against him. He's the only QB under contract next season and a friggin BARGAIN for once. Why wouldn't the Panthers play him after his been soaking up paychecks and rehab for a year by the time takes a snap.

A guy who's been on the payroll that the organization moved up to draft, the QB1 on McAdoo's big board, arguably the best QB in the SEC in 2021? That guy isn't playing?

He's playing. He'll probably get an opportunity even with a new coach. They may even like him enough to interview Lane Kiffin, then there would absolutely be no question. Harbaugh would probably like Corrals skillset too.

The Panthers are going to more than just kick the tires on Corral. They're going to see what they've got and we will too.

      I believe I just read somewhere that the Rams don't do Top 30 Visits. I mean, it makes sense from the standpoint of trying to keep information close to the vest.

      Emanuel McNeil Warren + Jacob Rodriguez

      I'm not sure 19 is too high for Rodriguez anymore.  He looks to be moving up boards, but it could be smokescreens.

      Panthers WR Xavier Legette named potential trade candidate for 2026 offseason

      I see XL this way---great athlete.  Good person.  When we drafted him, we knew he was raw.  One year of WR in college (starting) and in HS, he was a QB, I believe. We knew we would need patience with him.  I think year 3 will be make or break.  He is older, and I think that people with his athletic ability have always been better than those with less---but those with less can become more successful.  Why is that?  in my view, it is mental. XL can learn the mechanics and nuances of playing WR if he becomes focused on it and works at it.  I had the opportunity to talk to Armanti Edwards one day after OTAs (great guy) and he discussed how overwhelming it was.  He seemed shocked.  At that time, I knew that Fox hated the pick (I heard him mock Armanti to another coach when he saw Edwards drop a punt from a jugs machine--then I saw Armanti look back at Fox as if to suggest that he was feeling the pressure to please the coach. We forget that these are kids in their early 20s.  At the time, Fox was a lame duck.  Remember when he had Clausen as the #3 QB and was forced to move him up the ladder?  I liked Fox, but I think the climate and culture was influenced by the politics.  Currently, I see another Wr from SC who is struggling, but he is ina  very nurturing, positive culture. Let's see what happens with XL.  I am frustrated too---but XL was a second round talent who was raw and we traded up to get him.  He had 500 yards as a rookie--lets call 2025 a sophomore slump and see if we can't get at least 50 yards per game out of him.  If not, cut bait.
