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.

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.

      I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce
