Ok Panthers fans, there is a small group of people that feel like the Panthers need Cam Newton as Jimmy Clausen is not getting it done.

1. There is another group of people that want A.J. Green (this doesn't make sense if Smith comes back)

2. There is another group of people that want Daquan Bowers

3. Finally there is a group of people that want Patrick Peterson (this would be a good pick if Richard Marshall is not resigned)

Now looking at these for positions only a naive individual would say any of those three positions is more important than the quarterback position. When your team can't score it doesn't matter who you put around your defense or offense without a quarterback you WILL not be successful. Now the Panthers could always go the option of signing a veteran such as Kyle Orton or another suitable option but the idea is to find a new FRANCHISE quarterback. Cam Newton could possibly show some people tonight that he can be a franchise quarterback....

So my question to you Panthers Fans...

If Cam Newton has an outstanding game tonight would you be willing to trade down and pick him in the draft if this situation arises. Would some of the hard headed Panther fans be willing to change their minds if Cam Newton can lead his team to the National Championship and performs outstandingly at the highest level in college football?

Unless Newton stands in the pocket and looks off defenders, there is nothing he can do that will impress me. Scrambling around is his best attribute, and that is not going to cut it in the big leagues. Vince Young ran around in college, where did that get him? These kinds of QBs are only good for winning a couple of games, but I don't think one has every won a superbowl.

there are so many more options than "jimmy clausen or cam newton" for quarterback. Blech.

A franchise quarterback doesn't need to come from the top pick in the draft, and we have enough needs to address on this team I think we'll be OK if we end up not being able to address that one in the first round.

I will always be against drafting him #1 overall no matter how well he plays tonight. If we somehow find a way to trade down a few spots, then sure he might be worth a mid-first round pick, but as of now I am completely against drafting him with the first pick.

I agree Newton must be able to pass first to make it in the big league but it sure would be exciting seeing the aints, birds, and bucks chasing after him with their tongues hanging out cursing every other breath.

^ exactly he feels like he has a small window of oppurtunity now. And you cannot deny he is more NFL ready than Jimmy Clausen ever was or will be. I can't remember who it was, but one of the guys on this board did some stats and stuff and figured out that most of Clausens passes were dump downs in college.

Now Cam when he does pass the ball it is at least a 10 yard pass or further. He likes to air it out and we may see that tonight, especially since Luck is returning. Cam may feel like if he can hang in the pocket and make some nice passes, he will solidify himself as a top NFL prospect.

      The guy has not coach college in ten years and in that span its greatly changed. Still take him over Davis, I want to see the presser and if billy still has fire in his eyes for college non-sense.....plus you know billy will want a multi-million staff.  This is interesting, very....... glad the old guard FINALLY steps aside......

      Processing Blue: immediate draft needs

      He's a hard player to rank, cause he is a young NT. I do see his abilities to branch out among the DL. That's the only way for him to land in the 1st, some team has to believe he's got the stuff to play DE or T3.... I just don't see using 19 on him, I feel there should be around 7 players just ranked higher than him for the Panthers team.  ___________________________________________________________________   Now you are a roster nut like me. Im tossing this into fire, I think a good move is to trade UP, yes rare. Just the roster #s tell me 5 rookies and no more than 2 starters will make the team. I feel 5 is magic number.    QB- 2  BY, Pickett RB- 3   Chubba, Brooks(pls), etienne TE- 4   Sanders, Temble, Evans, Draft pick/major/franks/UDFA OL- 10   Walker, Lewis, Fortner, Hunt, Motown, Zavailla, Samac, Stone, Draft pick, Draft pick/Charles/carter WR-  6   Tmac, XL, Coker, Metch, Horn, Tremay   offense=  25 with 3 draft picks   DL-  6   Brown, Brown, Wharton, Ray, Cam, Hunter/draft pick Ed-   5  Phillips, Nic, Prince, Jones, ST/incoom/hampton ILB-   5  Lloyd, Wallace, Bam, Claud, draft pick CB-    5 Horn, Jackson, Thor, Evans, draft pick/CSN/UDFA SS-  4  Scott, More, Ramsom, Sim   Defense = 25 with 2 picks   ST = known 3+o+d = 53 roster   SO I see only room for 5-6 with factoring in UDFA pool. That tells me to trade up! Bonus the 1st+3rd gets in front of TB yucs. Then use one of the 5ths+2nd to draft another target. That's your two starters and use the 4th, 5th and 6th for the development OTs and what ever the best player are at the pick/DB. The last couple years they have added 2-3 UDFA each year, maybe the same this year too. Soooooooo Im normally 95% trade back, but above made me change my mind. I do not want to waive 5th rounder, I feel thats high with players on the bench.    ?? There's waiver claims too, they have done that each year.
