Luck would be an idiot not to come out. His stock could not be higher right now. Why would he jeopardize it?

I just have a horrible feeling about Newton. I don't think he will transition well to the Pro game. If he is the best option at #1, I hope like hell we trade down and grab a DT in the top 5. At least we could get our second rounder back.

yea right..... NFL teams are looking for pure passers not another vince young with an average arm

lol u havent watched newton play have u? his arm is stronger than lucks. might be on par with lockers...How is he a vince young because he's black and and mobile? these are two human beings with diffrent attributes and diffrent personalities... i'd say newton is closer to big ben than vince based on size and speed. His throwing ability is also ahead of where vince young's was coming out of college. To be fare to vince the knock on him hasnt really been can he win because he's been doing that... its been about being a diva and staying out of trouble.

alot of people around luck say he wants to finish college. Yea he would be a fool to go back to school but Locker was that fool last year so it could happen. I dont see a dt worth the number pick this year..there's no suh or mccoy.

Locker was that fool, and look what happened.

Luck should take note. He can finish his education even if he enters the draft.

Also, I think Newton has the tools to be great, but the question is if he has the work ethic to get there. I hope he does, cause he could end up a Panther :)

He did drop back for passes, but yes, he did run an offense designed differently than that which Luck ran. He'd have a steeper learning curve, but as we've seen, being in a pro-style offense isn't a guarantee of success.

Agreed I'm not saying no to Cam as a QB for the Panthers at all. My biggest fear is he's gonna try and do things that he can get away with in college but not in the NFL. I think he's gonna have to learn quickly what it takes to be a great NFL QB.

the same can be said of any qb. they all are going to try to do things they got away with in college clausen and even everyone's favorite Luck.

      Sorsby to the supplemental draft

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      Hard to say--they are very unpredictable--this article came out last night---after our comments:  (ESPN)   How has the NFL approached NCAA players with gambling violations in the past? David Purdum, sports betting reporter: Quarterback Hunter Dekkers and wide receiver Kayshon Boutte were found to have committed gambling violations while playing college football, and both were allowed to pursue NFL careers. Dekkers was the projected starting quarterback at Iowa State but was ruled ineligible ahead of the 2023 season after an investigation found he had bet on at least one game involving the Cyclones (among other wagers that violated NCAA bylaws). The bet was just $15 on Iowa State to beat Oklahoma State in a 2021 game in which he did not play, but it led to the end of his Division I career. He played one season at Iowa Western Community College in 2024 before signing with the Saints as an undrafted free agent, and he spent last season on the practice squad. Boutte was arrested in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in January 2024 on charges of underage betting while at LSU. The arrest came roughly eight months after he had been drafted in Round 6 by the Patriots, and the charges were ultimately dropped. According to police, Boutte placed more than 8,900 wagers from April 2022 to May 2023, including betting on at least 17 college football games -- at least six of which involved LSU during that span. The NFL did not discipline Boutte.

      He did himself more harm than good by engaging in this ridiculous legal battle. One it brought to light how much gambling he was actually doing and two it made him a very unlikable figure from a public perspective because he was challenging the perceived sanctity (lol) of college sports. Then to make things worse his lawyers convinced a very stupid and very gullible old boomer judge to agree with him. Now he’s a lightning rod entering the league and that’s not a good place to be.

      Sorsby to the supplemental draft

      He went through the treatment program, fwiw if anything, and my focus is on his size, decision-making (on the field, not phone), and his arm strength.  But drafting a QB with an addiction that could get him Pete Rosed is not ideal.  I am not satisfied that the Panthers have (as Canales has stated to be important) addressed the QB spot with competition since Bryce has been here. Should Bryce not continue to improve or should he become injured, are we going with Pickett?  Pickett had 45 pass attempts with the Raiders last season and was sacked 8 times.  He has an NFL career where his interceptions are equal to his TDs.  He is not good.  H. King could emerge as the backup, if that tells you anything, but if we can pick a player with NFL starting potential (Sorsby would have been rated ahead of Ty Simpson (drafted #13 overall) in 2026 and he is rated #3 overall in the strong 2027 QB draft class, behind Manning and Moore--again, this would give Sorsby a first-round grade.  If I am Morgan, and I do not feel 100% confident that Bryce is the future, I might offer a second rounder for Sorsby.  I think he might go before that, frankly.   Some will say I am crazy, but to get a QB with Sorsby's talent in the 2027 draft, we may need to move up in round 1.  If Bryce steps up, you have a solid backup.  Regardless, I would sleep better.
