Cam Newton has garbage written all over him

Read the title. He is not worth the #1 overall. Not even top 5. He would just be another 'project' with 'upside'. Run 1st/ Pass 2nd mentality. He has only played 12 games at Auburn, has never taken a snap under center. He is not use to making the necessary reads to become a passing threat. I'm sorry but I'm not about to take an inexperienced Jamarcus Russell/Vince Young.

Not worth it. I would say trade down but there is absolutely no value at #1 overall since Luck is gone. If you can trade down and grab AJ Green or Peterson (or some other player who can make an impact) then do it. Make a splash in FA. Add a vet at QB to mentor our guys along. And if our players come back healthy (especially Otah) then we should have a decent season next year.

*Sigh* Not that I don't agree, but I can see this is going to go on forever till draft day.

We're going to be going in circles for months. I hope we can start talking about something else cause this is getting stale quick. The fact is, the draft is so far away, our FO is made up of a bunch of loonatics and in the end we have no freaking clue who we are getting anyway, and by the time this season starts, if there's even a season.....we'll probably look back and realize how much time we wasted talking about things that never even had a prayer in hell of actually happening.

I think I'm just going to put on my back-up team jersey and enjoy life until we get closer to the draft and training camp. Go Patriots!

Damn I don't get why people keep comparing him to JaMarcus Russell. Russell was a slow, fat, pocket-passer. Does that sound like Cam Newton?

And if you listen to Newton talk, it's obvious that he's ten times smarter than Russell too. Sure, he would be a risk at #1 overall, but to call him garbage is just pure ignorance. The kid seems to love football, which can go a loooong ways towards success in the NFL.

I can't tell if you're being serious or not.

Hell yeah I'm serious. JeMarcus Russell is a dumbass...and he was the consensus #1 overall pick. I would take Cam Newton over him in any draft.

Well obviously now it's easy to say that. But if you believe Newton is any smarter than Jawalrus I really don't know what to tell you.

no argument here. soon as he was drafted he said something like...

I's gonna go eat a dozen eggs, pound o bacon, etc.

that's dumb as hell if you want to make a career being an athlete.

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      By csx · Posted

      I just dont get the worry over losing a practice squad player that just went undrafted. Everyone just made their selections. The chances of a team wanting to sign him to an active roster after not selecting him is very low.  If that interested they would have taken him late to evaluate in person. As far as I can tell two qbs were signed off another teams practice squad last season and they were both going in to their 5th season.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By frankw · Posted

      I enjoyed reading this thread and the usual banter that follows. The only silver lining I can identify right now is we do actually have a couple of young QB's behind him and we do have a nice roster on both sides of the ball built around the most important position. So if the team overall shows some promise but we still falter largely due to a lack of consistent passing output (again) hopefully the decision makers can be free to make the best decision for the team going forward after the conclusion of this upcoming season.

      I don't really follow the team anymore due to a variety of reasons and consequently have largely stopped posting but I agree that this is a lovely website and community. This forum probably kept me around for years longer than I would've stuck otherwise because of how difficult it was to stop checking multiple times a day. Especially appreciate how lax the moderation tends to be compared to a lot of places, the crew here does a great job. Out of curiousity I decided to try making a new account (solely for testing purposes) to see what exactly is wrong with the sign up process. The issue seems to be that it never sends you an account verification email, thus making it impossible to complete registration. This is likely something to do with the email server upstream, hope it gets fixed. Also, lol
