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.

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      with arm strength people often get stuck on the distance  arm strength in the NFL is moreso measured in speed / velocity .which of course is how long does it take for  the ball to travel from the time of release until it reaches its target ? & u beat world class speed with more speed on the ball...just saying

      No GM hits 100%. I'm well aware. But what a GM has to do is look at the roster, what's available, and future contracts and go from there. XL was a one season wonder in college. He has speed. Who cares. He body catches and his hands are bricks. Speed doesn't matter when you don't actually have the ball. There were other receivers available with better resumes. XL was a project. Fitts loved projects. You don't have the luxury of projects when you just traded away DJ for a QB. 1st round WRs need to contribute now.  Brooks was a luxury RB pick we didn't have the luxury to make. Who cares if Dallas was going to pick him. We had holes all over our defense. Chuba was coming off a fresh contract. We just inked 150m interior line and then centered it by moving a guard to center that had suffered 2 season ending injuries. The most critical area on our line was being held together by a bandaid and a prayer. No surprise when it didn't work.   Wallace is getting better but Wilson was sitting there waiting to be taken. DPOY for college football right there for the taking. That was a gimme pick. If you're going to take a risk on an injured player, the 3rd round for Wilson made a whole lot more sense at a position we were rest stop TP thin at.  4th round and on aren't going to be heavy contributors unless you're lucky.  He did well on the trade for Jackson. Coker, I believe he offered the largest guarantee. He actually got more than some late round picks make.  Those 1st 3 picks, IMO, were straight up whiffs.  Looking back at Fitterer's picks, I think he tried to plug holes because we had a ton of them. Problem was, he wasn't very good at it and he loved RAS scores and developmental players with a coach that couldn't develop a Polaroid. He tried to do too much. He was impatient. His other problem was he panicked during the draft and couldn't read or understand the flow of how drafts tend to go. DJ Johnson was the prime example. We needed an edge rusher and he jumped in at the end of the run instead of starting it.  Morgan's first year looked exactly like Fitts to me. Lots of projects.  2nd year looks better.  We'll see how 3rd year goes. FA also plays into all of this as well but that's a whole different topic of how it played out and planning with regard to drafting.

      The only social media I want to see out of XL this offseason is….

      I judge how good our players are by the way a defense covers them. XL draws no special coverage. Coker on the other hand always has a man over the top. It still doesn’t matter. You be the judge.
