To Cam or not to Cam that is the question...

I'm pissed to even be discussing this because i bought in to the luck hype. But we still have the number one pick in a still decent qb class. no defensive player or offensive for that matter other than qb is worth taking at one. The one thing JR said that i agree with is we need a face for the franchise. I'm not buying in to this gabbert kid as much as some,i'm not in the market for drafting college losers. I know he had some good seasons but what has he won? If we wanted someone we had good skills and played for a loser school stick with clausen.

locker and mallet clearly have issues....as does any other qb in the draft,but mallet looks like he folds under pressure even when ohio state tried to give him the game. Locker has the tools but i'm not sure he's where he should be at this point. Thus bring us to cam newton. Yes he's the biggest gamble out of all of these choices but he also has the most upside. 6'6 250 big,mobile, and most importantly he's a winner. who ever we pick here is going to be a gamble so,why not go all in. If were going to bomb here let's blow this moth**cker up.

Newton will be a great quarterback. He is just not polished and will need a year or two in order to develop. But he will be like Big Ben, with a good running game and lots of support, he will be decent next year and in a year or two will be fine. All this assumes he is willing to do the work and watch film and learn rather than rely on his athletic talent alone.

I dont know where all this fear about Cam Newton is coming from. 20 Rushing TDs and 28 Passing TDs, (same amount as Andrew Luck)? Andrew Lucks completion percentage is 70%, Cam Newtons is 66%. Cam has almost 4000 all purpose yards. The runaway Heisman trophy winner? He's 6'6, 250. Strongest QB since... ever. His work ethic is totally different than JaMarcus Russell so save the comparisons.

He's a winner like The Golden Calf of Bristol, elusive like Vick, but he can pass like Josh Freeman.

And believe it or not... one of the best things he has going for him is that His Father is in his life as an adviser.... but thats another conversation.

All He needs is a good QB coach... and he'll be fine. Being an athletic QB isnt a negative thing. If we dont pick him up, someone else will... And we will be on the wrong side of history again.

Sure, give us Cam now that we can't have Luck. No matter what happens, I'm not worried. This is still an exciting time for us fans, with the new coaching staff, a very young team with a solid year under its belt, and the #1 pick. Perhaps I'm just numb to the pain at this point.

Minus the big ben part, that sounds like something our FO said about AE before deciding to make him a WR

Cam is gonna be a bust. No. Locker was exposed this year and will be injury prone. Gabbert is a bum. Mallett is a statue, he sucks.

Newton is a project who should sit on the bench for a year, dont draft him. Locker wont be picked as number one overall, but i like him. dont know much on Gabbert, but he's worth a look and Ryan Mallett has the arm, but he's not that mobile.

      Not sure who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"

      I mean not surprised the Patriots took him in and aren't trying to push him out. They've been the most morally bankrupt team in the NFL for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel has his own dirt on Kraft/Brady and other assholes from that organization over the last couple decades.
