Cam Newton wants to be Big Ben

[KJDaniel31]

what did you find one of the few instances of a young black man getting off and assume that applies to all young black men?

but it's pretty obvious that some of you can't get past his skin color.

You know...when you quote a politician, its customary to give the source...

This franchise needs something different.this is the softest, boring, friendlist football team in the nfl.this guy has won on every level he had been at.but it's pretty obvious that some of you can't get past his skin color.

Here we go.......:frown2: Cam Newton isn't worth #1 pick.

As of right now he isn't.but time will tell.

[Snake]

People are going to be shocked when we draft him.

People are going to be shocked when we draft him.

Honestly I'd be astonished at this point in time but I see how it could happen.

If so I'll be the loudest Cam Newton supporter here, but I hope they don't force him into action next year...

I don't give a rat's ass about his color, and I seriously doubt anyone else outside of KT does either.

I don't want any rookie QBs this year; black, white, purple or otherwise. There was only one that would have been worth the risk of getting even younger at the QB spot than we already are, and he's staying in school.

Young prospects we already have (two, drafted just last year). Acquire two decent veteran options, go to camp with those four and take the best three into the season.

[riddel]

Any thoughts???

I wanted to be Batman when I was young, but I could never find the utility belt at any of the toy stores.....pretty much the end of the fantasy.

[Cavscout]

I am not opposed to us taking Cam Newton. If we do, I hope we trade down into the middle to late first round to do so.

[rico6]

What's the knock on his game again? I'm curious.

[Proudiddy]

I just don't understand it. I wasn't even a "Cam guy" all year, but after watching more of him, I'm on board. To me, the only logical choices in my mind with our first pick are Green or Newton.

Why take a guy like Fairley with the first pick (another one year wonder IIRC) when there's a guy like Marvin Austin who could be had later in the draft with almost just as much talent, if not more?

DT is a position that you can just plug a guy into and have success if he has the right tools, QB isn't so easy... So if there's a guy there that fits the criteria you're looking for, take him.

bs nothing.it's obvious, and this might not be talking about you but some guys are. people have called this guy a thug and other names, which does not describe him. if he is the franchise qb we are looking for than you take him.

the clausen and pike show will not get er done.

[Lumps]

We just don't need a project.

Though this does boost his stock in my book.

I agree, but what if there is a lockout? He will have all that time to work with the Panther's staff. I think that should be considered. Personally, I would be happier with Green, Fairley or Peterson.

[OchoNueve]

I'm not sold on Newton using #1 overall on him, but you have to admit it is interesting that the 2 QB's in the Super Bowl are probably the 2 best mobile QB's (other than Vick)

If we trade down and have multiple picks then why not take a shot at him (although trading down is highly unlikely). We just can't afford to draft a high risk player with no 2nd round pick in the upcoming draft.

[monstercat]

Yeah, it really sucks not having that 2nd round pick, especially when it's such a long shot to convince somebody to trade up to #1.
