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.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      I meant write off in the entire class being absolute garbage and that being on Dan  FA was pretty solid but Dan and Brandt handing out one big terrible contract to Turk Wharton. Milton was their top target and the pivot from Milton to Turk while paying Turk what they did was insane.  Id LOVE to know had we not paid Turk what type of contract he would’ve received. 3/30 mayyyybe? This is someone Brandt obviously vouched for.  I’ve watched a few of Tilis’ interviews now. One with Jourdan and one with Yates. He’s a big Moneyball fan. Giving Turk the deal they gave him is the complete opposite of the whole Moneyball idea. They paid a dude who they saw some potential in money that you’d pay someone that has actually made an impact  The worst part is that he’s 100% here next year too. That contract keeps him here until 2027 for sure

      Are you kidding? They just now figured out they could use someone else for a qb sneak.

      The biggest problem is that his upward trend is still well below NFL average. At some point there's just too much evidence to ignore. I've been there for awhile now. Honestly, it only took a handful of games for me to realize that he just had too many physical limitations to overcome to ever be a legitimate starter. I get that the organization couldn't afford to pull the plug that quick after that investment but there's absolutely no way we should've gone into year three without legitimate competition on the roster. We always a year behind kn this Bryce thing. This year should've been the legit competition year and this offseason should've been the moving on point. Hopefully we'll play catch up but I expect the trend to cj tinge and next year will be the vet competition year.
