In 2012 I want Cameron "Cam Fuggin" Newton


Recommended Posts

Are you crazy.

He is 2nd only behind Kellen Moore with a 180.3 rating.

He is the best quarterback with the deep ball averaging 10.5 yards per pass which is tops in the NCAA.

He is 12th in rushing yards in the NCAA.

He is 5th in the NCAA with 9 rushing touchdowns.

The dude is moves like Mike Vick but throws like Joe Flacco.

He would be unstoppable at quarterback not only because he is 6-6 and 250 lbs.

I don't think your crazy, He's a great player. But Andrew Luck is a great QB and has all the tools, looks the part, has the arm. We'd be crazy to pass up on him, especially being we have a great chance to have the number 1 pick this year.

Sounds like what the analysts said of Clausen, minus the attitude stuff.

Passer efficiency is over-rated in college. Yes, Newton has a higher passer efficiency rating but try to explain it with passing stats...

Pryor

Completion %: 68.0%

Yards: 1349

Touchdowns: 15

Interceptions: 3

Sacked: 11

Newton

Completion %: 64.8%

Yards: 1138

Touchdowns: 12

Interceptions: 5

Sacked: 7

So in terms of passing in college I do not know how you can make the claim that Newton is more efficient than Pryor has been. Pryor has a higher completion percentage, more yards, more touchdown passes, and less interceptions while being sacked more than Newton has been sacked.

Also, passing efficiency doesn't tend to lead to NFL success. The Golden Calf of Bristol was top 3 in the country one or two times and he won't make it as a QB in the pros. Kellen Moore isn't a pro QB. I could go on and on but its pointless.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
