Cam Newton has holdout written all over him

I reason I don't want Cam Newton: When was the last time a QB from the SEC turned out to be a successful NFL QB? Eli Manning? He's the most recent I can think of that turned out to be decent, but even he is not great.

For a conference as dominant as the SEC, their QB's have been weak in the NFL.

Also do not want Newton because he plays in a spread offense. Spread QB's rarely work out in the NFL.

He looks like he might have the skills to be successful in the NFL, but he certainly does not look like a sure thing. Not worth the risk at the #1 pick.

cam newton is not #1 pic worthy....i dont even think he is 1st round worthy...he only has 1 year worth of success...not that it would matter but I'd be highly upset if we drafted him..even though i would for go luck to shore up the rest of the team..i understand if we would have drafted him...no deal

Well, I'm no dick rider of any player, including Luck, but one would have to be blind not to see the potential of Cam Newton as a QB, as well as his ability to bring more excitement and attention to the franchise. Yeah, I know some think the dreaded P word is a bad thing, but isn't every draft pick based on potential?

Newton is clearly smarter than Vince Young and JeMarcus Russell too, so I believe he would make a much smoother transition than those two.

And this is coming from a Tar Heel fan who is pissed off that Newton gets to play after they suspended so many Carolina players for lesser offenses.

The same things were said about The Golden Calf of Bristol, who many analyst have said Cam is better than and who Cam played behind at Florida before transfering to Auburn. We all see who that turned out.

Agreed. IMO its way to early to say what a players going to be. We will have to wait for the combine and then the interviews. If Newton scores a low wonderlic like VY or even Russell I say no. He will have a lot to adapt too so I expect him to have a high 20's if not pass on him.

      In my opinion Fitterer was probably right about not paying McCaffrey. Now not wanting to "pay RBs" in my opinion isn't something you want to set in stone, to me it all comes down to the individual.

      Maybe I'm just not understanding, but everywhere that I have read says that signing bonuses go against the cap prorated by as much as five years. The following example uses Andrew Luck's rookie contract as an example. "Take Andrew Luck, the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. Luck signed a four-year contract with the Colts worth $22.1 million and included a $14.5 million signing bonus. Rather than a $14.5 million cap hit in 2012, the Colts spread out his signing bonus over the life of his contract. The hit against the cap would be $3.625 million per year over four years instead of a direct cap hit of $14.5 million directly in 2012. This gave the Colts more leverage and cap flexibility in signing other players." https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-signing-bonuses-explained/ I don't know why some of you think that signing bonuses aren't counted against the cap over the length of the contract, but whatever.   "The bonus with a signing is usually the most garish aspect of a rookie contract. Bonus is the immediate cash players receive when they ink a deal. It factors into the cap, but only for the whole contract duration, in terms of salary cap calculations. In the case of Bryce Young’s $24.6 million signing bonus, that’s prorated to approximately $6.15 million per season over a four-year deal. This format allows teams to handle the cap and provides rookies with some short-term fiscal stability, which is important given the high injury risk in this league." https://collegefootballnetwork.com/how-rookie-contracts-work-in-the-nfl/ I understand how signing bonuses can be a useful tool in order to manage the cap, and as one of the article suggests, signing bonuses may become important if you have a tight cap, but the bill is always going to come due. I'm not necessarily referring to you Tuka, but it seems to me that others simply don't want to understand that fact which is why they're reacting to what I'm saying negatively. How odd. In any event, I have a better general understanding of why signing bonuses are used now, and it's generally to fit salaries under the cap. Surely players, whether they be rookies or not, love a signing bonus because they get a good portion of their money up front. This in turn gives them more security and probably amounts to tax benefits as well. I also understand why teams would not want to use signing bonuses, particularly for players or draftees who have a higher probability of being gone before a contract even ends.
