Exhibit A of why you don't draft Newton in the 1st round

[Mvp2014]

Exhibit A = VY, JRUSS both big armed, big framed, running qbs with limitless potential that ran spread offense in college

[panthers55]

Actually Vick was injured while he was in the pocket and got sacked not while he was on the run.

As for building an offense that needs similar quarterbacks, Green Bay went from Brett Favre to Aaron Rodgers or in other words a pocket passer to a guy who is mobile without changing offenses or personnel. You can put in plays for QBs with different skills without changing everything.

QB's get major injuries in the pocket too.

[David Duke Is a Bad Person]

Fock Luck

Take Newton

[Kyle82]

Running qb's have always scared me...they look brilliant at times but they do get hurt alot.

[DirtyMagic97]

Cam Newton will be an elusive QB if he wants to have any success in the NFL. He isn't fast enough to just run away from NFL linebackers and defensive backs like he does in college. So, he likely won't be running down the field nearly as much as Vick. He will take some hits out of the pocket, but he's a big kid and can probably absorb them.

Plus, he's black.

Thats all that needed to be said Panther fans. We dont need to come up with these crazy theories and wild justifications why we dont want Cam Newton. LMAO. Lets just be honest for a change. Its not like people dont think that anyway. We see one thing, and Cam aint it.

[Carl Spackler]

Let me get this straight.

We shouldn't draft Newton because we're afraid he might get hurt a long time from now, and he played in an offense that was tailored to some of his many strengths.

Got it.

Lions are probably wishing to god that they didn't draft injury prone Stafford. Then again, I think most of his injuries occurred in the pocket?

[Carl Spackler]

I guess we shouldn't worry about picking Luck because he is an elite QB like Brady, who had a serious knee injury. So given those facts, it is a 100% guarantee Luck will experience the same.

This Forum is going to go into a frenzy once luck goes back to school.

Not true. In the pocket, a QB receives an inordinate amount of protection from the officials (Can't touch the helmet. Can't go for the legs. Can't lead with anything but the shoulder. Can't hit more than a millisecond after the ball's released). Outside, he's just like any other skill player.

i agree with this. the way things have changed in the NFL, the QB in the pocket is as safe a place as you can be on the field.

that said, newton is a good bit bigger and a lot younger (which is a factor). when you get older, you are just more susceptible to injuries and they take longer to heal.

potential injuries would be a minor concern with newton, but not enough to not draft him.

as long as newton is availabe, i'll still be happy.

[KaseKlosed]
