Justify why Cam Newton isn't worth #1 overall?

Well Im more interested in his wonderlic and what scouts have to say about him after. You best believe they will test to see if he can take snaps under center and it would not hurt if he could prove that at this pro day.

yeah, true the wonderlic is something to look at. Didnt Vince Young get a 6 on it (at first) then get a 13, OUCH. hope Cam doesnt try to cheat on it, hahaha, sorry had to throw in a joke. Anyways, the wonderlic usually doesnt matter, but i think (for some people) it will matter here. if he gets a 13, then people will question if he's smart enough. as for the test to see if he can take snaps under center, THAT is what i will follow. The Golden Calf of Bristol (at the senior bowl) SUCKED there, BUT he later showed much more improvement.

I was def on the Luck bandwagon before he decided to go back to Stanford but after watching Newton and seeing his stats i feel he can be a good QB in this league. I think he want be great right away but in a few years he will be a headache for defenses. The only think I worry about is the system he comes from. That will hurt him more then anything.

yep, trust me, i dont think Newton will suck, i just dont think he will be as ready as people think. i cant see him coming in and winning 10 games and taking us to the playoffs, i think he could struggle worse than Freeman did in his rookie year, but i think in time, he could be great, he has potential and once he gets used to the NFL speed and doesn't run the ball 10 times or more in the nfl and passes with consistancy, then he should be great. i was on the Luck bandwaggon because he reminded me so much of Elway.

I think Luck has the better chance in the pros, Cam would need a whole offensive gameplan built around him to be successful, not saying coaches wouldnt do that for him. Luck can probably fill in at any QB vacancy.

Its clear that Luck is more polished and comes from a better system. Still Newton has all the tools to not need a "gameplan" Built around him. The only question about Newton is that can he take a snap under center and can he make good decisions. The later is what all teams wonder before picking a QB. I will be really interesting to see if Luck dose as well under a new head coach this year. We will get to see if it was the wagon or the horse so to speak.

JR doesnt have enough money to pay cams dad for him to come here

Lol, that's what I've been saying. He might want 70 million guaranteed.

I will say it for the 3453452345345 time. Rookie pay scale will be in place when we make our pick. We cant sign anyone till the new CBA is done.

      A look at the team after the draft and udfa signings...

      By KillerKat · Posted

      My projection. I think at WR its time to go with youth. This means Moore should be the odd man out. Horn can return both punts and kicks and Tremayne is a better WR than Moore. XL gets one more year to prove himself, although I could see a trade in the future which would mean Moore could stay. For OL, I would like us to bring back Brady if we can. The RBs, Trevor can return both punts and kicks too. With the uncertainty of Brooks and Dillon, its hard to choose either one. I think the team would like for Brooks to have a breakout season to clear any uncertainty that he deserves a spot. For now, I have them both even and on the team. DL looks solid as well as OLB. Watch out for the UDFA of Aaron Hall and Isaiah Smith at OLB. They look promising and could knock someone off the team. ILB is still the biggest weakness on the team. We need to upgrade that any means necessary. CB is strong and Im praying to all the Gods that Wheatley beats out Scott at FS.  OFFENSE: WR: Tetairoa McMillan - *Chris Brazzell II* - Brycen Tremayne TE: Tommy Tremble - James Mitchell LT: #Rasheed Walker# - *Monroe Freeling* LG: Damien Lewis C- #Luke Fortner# - *Sam Hecht* RG: Robert Hunt - #Saahdiq Charles# RT: Taylor Moton - #Stone Forsythe# TE: Ja`Tavion Sanders - Mitchell Evans WR: Xavier Legette - Jalen Coker - Jimmy Horn Jr. QB: Bryce Young - #Kenny Pickett# RB: Chuba Hubbard - Trevor Etienne - #AJ Dillon# - Jonathon Brooks DEFENSE: LE: Tershawn Wharton - Bobby Brown III  NT: *Lee Hunter* - Cam Jackson RE: Derrick Brown - LaBryan Ray LOLB: Nic Scourton - Patrick Jones II  LILB: Trevin Wallace - Bam Martin-Scott - *Jackson Kuwatch* RILB: #Devin Lloyd# - Claudin Cherrelus  ROLB: #Jaelen Phillips# - Princely Umanmielen LCB: Jaycee Horn - Akayleb Evans RCB: Mike Jackson - *Will Lee III* - Chau Smith-Wade SS: Tre`von Moehrig - Lathan Ransom FS:  Nick Scott - *Zakee Wheatley* - Demani Richardson  SPECIAL TEAMS: K/KO: Ryan Fitzgerald P/H: Sam Martin KR: Trevor Etienne - Jimmy Horn Jr. PR: Trevor Etienne - Jimmy Horn Jr. LS: J.J.

      So is Legette getting traded?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      His contract is guaranteed.  Legette is just not where he needs to be mentally.  Not fully invested, it seems.

      Literally like Hill. He's not QB1 material (now or ever), but if we can turn him into a H-back and use him like  Swiss army knife, that's his ticket to make the roster.  H-back/emergency QB.  I wonder how good his hands are?  If they are at least above average by NFL standards then we can line him up in the backfield, in the slot, split out wide and of course, in the Wildcat.
