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.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
