Cam Newton...

Watching the SEC Championship game and I was wondering what people would think about getting Cam Newton as a consolation prize if we mess up and actually win a few games down the stretch?

He seems like he has all the tools however he never gets touched and has all day to throw. But if he comes out and has a good combine/pro day he could turn out to be a great plan B if we don get "Lucky".

Newton looks to have all the tools. He is big , strong, athletic and has a good arm and throwing motion. Honestly I would take him as not a consolation prize but as a perfectly acceptable alternative to Luck. He reminds me of Josh Freeman for the Bucs. I would be glad to have him as our quarterback without feeling we missed out on anything.

If Russ Grimm is hired, and Luck doesn't come out, or we don't get #1 overall, i could see it possibly happening (just a hunch) he reminds me of Big Ben, and Grimm could (or could not) see the same thing.
grimm wouldn't draft him and wouldn't use him right.

it's going to take an innovative mind to use newton right and an offense built around him. that ain't grimm. he'd be as happy about drafting a QB in the first round as cowher was in drafting ben and would do all it took to keep the QB in the pocket and the RBs running the ball 75% of the time.

Would love to see Cam here in Carolina. Boy, does he have an arm on him. It just gets me excited thinking of the possible, Newton to Smith or Newton to Gettis combo. If we were to happen to win a game or two, and miss out on Luck, I wouldnt be upset. Well I wouldnt, as long as we got Newton

Luck is far and away the best QB prospect, but Newton is an absolute beast as well. He reminds me of a young Daunte Culpepper in his prime; big arm, great scrambler, looks more like a linebacker than a QB.

While I do think Luck has to be our pick if we end up at #1, if something happens and we're not Newton would be a mighty spiffy consolation prize.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By frankw · Posted

      This is one of my key concerns lost in the sauce that is the neverending conversation about him evading pressure and the OL. Eventually any QB is going to have to step up into the pocket and show the defense they can still beat them even if they get through. We have a limited QB who cannot consistently do this and as such we are relegated to going back and forth about how successful he was at evading pressure but we have little else to write home about. Tyler Shough stepped up into the pocket and made plays despite being pressured and sacked. He's played in about 35 less games than Bryce Young. That is a problem. And isn't just going to go away. The Bucs are going to do the same thing after watching the film.

      Oh, absolutely! That doesn't absolve the absolute dogshit hockey that the team played in front of him, though. Only Cane that played well tonight was Bradly Nadeau.

      Thanks for illustrating my point.  No one in the last several pages of this discussion is suggesting we should hang on to him, but anytime someone says anything less than "take him out back and shoot him" you act like they are. That's either you not understanding what you're reading or just being a nimrod because you can't keep up. (I would have said 'or just sh-tposting' but you're way too emotional on this topic for that) Either way, the result is the same 😆
