Vince Young put on as probably a dominating performance as dominating performances go when the Long Horns won the National Championship and Young has been garbage in the NFL, I would rather have a Qb that started in a pro style offense in College, because seriously who has come from a Spread and done well in the NFL.

with that said I'm not entirely against cam either.

Add in the fact that Sam didn't run 20+ times a game and you might be right. Many QBs take drops once they get the ball in the shotgun, Cam doesn't. Go to the Cam Newton TD thread and watch that stupid video and when it's 4th and 3 or 3rd and 4 I can't remember, he throws a 7 yard out. He gets the ball in shotgun and sort of shuffles his feet and delivers the ball. It's a good throw but if that's how he is when he is under center he will get killed.

Watch some of his time at JR collage though and even high school and you will see him take snaps under center and show good footwork. I think the system he is in right now uses more of his legs to draw defenders then the other systems. I mean it works so thats why they use it but as you said it dose not help him much any other way. He still shows good mechanics though and follow threw in his throws. I mean he is not NFL polished like Luck is but he def has the tools and a good throwing motion to make it work in the NFL like Bradford did.

I can imagine us drafting Cam, then running a similar offense they have in Philly, only logic that makes sense to me.

BTW, of all the guys we're debating here on drafting, only one has declared, and that's Peterson.

Then all the RBs would be a waste and also AJ Green has declared.

He CAN change my mind about him...

...right now I support the Panthers taking him if we trade down to the late first round and he is available. He would be a good bench warmer while he learns to play QB in the NFL...something you don't get from being in the spread offense in college.

If he plays like crap tonight...He would lose that support

See I keep going back and forth.

Imo, Green is the safer pick but we already have two young WRs so I just don't think it would make much sense.

I also think that Newton has star potential, but he also has bust potential...I think it's a 50-50 pick. However, if Newton does become the player he can be the reward would be amazing. I mean he's basically a Big Ben that can run. At 6'6" 250 he is bigger than any LB or DB in the NFL and is probably bigger than a few DL.

He's near impossible to bring down which makes him a threat to step up into the pocket and find a WR open or run. He can cut like an RB. His biggest worry is pocket prescence/foot work things. However if we bring Ramsdell in I think he could take those bugs out of his game.

In the end I think the reward outweighs the risk, take Newton. It's what the fans want and it could really pay off.

I want Oregon to win, but then again we need Newton to light it up so the FO will want to take him.

I've been on the bandwagon. I say draft Newton and sign Mcnabb.

i wouldnt mind doing that honestly

now, honestly, my opinion will NOT change, if he wins or loses, i like his potential, but dont think he's ready to start on day one which is why i would sign a McNabb, NOT Orton (he's average), NOT Kolb (didnt play well with a great Eagles offense).

There's a remarkable amount of hate towards Newton. The "establishment" doesn't like him for a host of reasons, none of which has anything REALLY to do about his skills as a player or really about football.

I'm pretty certain if he were to throw 33 for 33 for 500 yards and 7 TDs, then rush 250 yards for 4 more TDs, people would say he just played a soft college defense.

      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

      By Basbear · Posted

      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.
