Tonight!!! Can Cam change Panthers fans and coaches/organizations minds?

[Jangler]

Has he declared for the draft? Guess y'all are ready to get your hopes up only to be disappointed again.

who am I kidding?

money talks loudly to this one.

College performances mean nothing in terms of NFL success, especially one game performances.

cam newton will not impress me in his gimmick offense no matter how many points he puts up

[grateflday]

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 am not saying the Panthers are going to get one this draft but this notion that you we will or can just get a "franchise qb" in other rounds has to stop. Sure they can try, we can always point to a Brady who was picked in the 6th round,and maybe Clausen will have a better second season, BUT most long term successful good to great to franchise QB's are picked in Round 1. I also know that there are many 1st round QB's who dont amount to anything but again most of the great ones are. At some point a franchise has to take a shot a 1st Round QB.

Correction: Undefeated "gimmick offense".

[Jackofalltrades]

No, one game won't get him first pick value.

[MrBubba]

Al Davis might fall in love with him and be willing to trade up.

Obviously undefeated means nothing to you.

Your dang right it doesn't.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

You guys keep saying one game won't make a difference, yet the kid has not even lost one game on top of that.

Also why are you guys so scared to take a chance on Newton (Freeman 2.0) Newton is not as skinny as VY or MV so he can be tought to hang in the pocket take a hit and make a throw. On top of that if we get Ramsdell here in Charlotte, then he could instantly elavate Newtons game. After all, Ramsdell turned a grocery boy into a Super Bowl Champ and Super Bowl MVP.

[RockyTopVol]

I can be swayed.

As of right now, I truly don't believe that he's the right choice at #1. However, it's almost like I want him to be the right guy just because that would be more exciting than taking another DE.

This.

[TheRealDeal]

Your dang right it doesn't.

Guys that went undefeated prior to playing in their BCS bowl (some even won it and finished undefeated):

I can continue if you'd like

[bigjohn]

Spread quarterbacks making the transition to the NFL.....

Hmmm.

I'll get back to you on that one when one has successfully done so (worthy of a #1 pick).

^ Mike Vick already a number one pick. No Super Bowl, but he also has only played one year since his little incident.
