Cam Newton looking better and better!

I know we're all upset about Luck, but trust me it's not the end all, be all. Now that I got that out the way I believe it's time to focus our attention elsewhere. We can either pick Cam or Fairley with the number one pick or trade down, but as the title suggest, Cam Newton is looking better and better to me.

I've always said I'd be ok with Newton if we didn't take/get Luck. He will certainly give some life to this cardiac cat arrest franchise that we are currently feeling... There is no way he's a lethargic Russell type or a mentally unstable Vince Young Type(who seems to be really bipolar or something)..

The other players in the draft really aren't going to give fans a reason to watch as much as Cam Newton would. I'd pull the trigger if I was JR.

Cam. This franchise needs some excitement. His type of ball will be so different than we usually play. I wanted Luck, but I'd take the chance on Cam. We need a coach to use him correctly though.

I'm guessing we'll draft something other than a QB though.

    • the one thing this post has suprised me with is how much support there still is for young.  i dont understand why.  we had qbs before him that went to superbowls that lost support way quicker.  thr only qb we had had that started any number of games that played worse than young is clausen.  allen and moore played better and yet people still support him makes 0 sense to me
    • Again, can’t have a serious discussion if constantly wading through hyperbole. And you say that’s not really what was meant, but I tried to at one point get some folks to concede that he was physically capable of throwing a football 20yds just so we could get to a real discussion and they stuck with it. So I’m not sure your characterization is entirely accurate.
    • And this is his third year. As far as people not understanding things, I am not sure people accept how difficult it is to remake yourself from the ground up. Which he absolutely has to do to compete successfully at the NFL level.  He takes a step forward with the footwork and a step back when he is stressed and reverts to what always worked for him before. I will say it yet again, anyone that reached a level of success with their self taught technique but needed to rebuild to break through the limitations that imposed, will understand this. I don’t care what specific activity it is the same challenge. Muscle memory and comfort level fight against the new moves you are trying to train yourself to do without thinking.  He is there. There is a ceiling with his technique that is too low for the NFL. He has to retrain himself.  We are in the third year and I guess we are supposed believe that he will be so good  when he finally gets to where the new will be second nature, that we have to wait (how many more years) for him to finish doing it. If he ever finishes.  The sad fact is he will not succeed at the NFL level with his horrible college footwork and compensation moves like the tippy toe drop backs. He just won’t.  If he can’t put that on the table for us, we would be foolish to not seek an alternative plan.
