Agreed the fact that people are talking about Newton as a first rounder shows how weak this draft is at quarterback with Luck out of the picture.

Luck is very overrated by the Carolina Panther fanbase, gee I wonder why. Next year, there will be another pocket passer who will get the hype he got this year, and people wont be as high on Luck. Bank it! Only reason people on this board call this draft "weak" for QB is because the best QB coming out is black and the golden boy they wanted rejected em. And didnt waste no time doing it! LMAO.

It is still early. Lets see what happens at the combine. Guys like Locker and Gabbert each have reasons they weren't that successful at the college level last year. Just like having a great college career doesn't always translate to the NFL, sometimes having a mediocre college year doesn't mean you can't play at the NFL level either. Both these guys are projected to do better in the NFl than they did in college. Wouldn't be surprised if the stock of one or both don't shoot up after the combine and individual workouts.

At best, Newton is a project... we already have one of those.
every rookie QB is a project. just because we have one doesn't mean we should stick with him without a plan B. newton is as good or better than any QB in this draft...and at best, Newton is a stud QB. like him or not, ceiling is really high for him.

Lets see what he can do with some concentrated work by an NFL Qb coach. I suspect just like The Golden Calf of Bristol last year, if his footwork and football knowledge of the pro game becomes apparent in the interviews, he could shoot up the boards. People keep forgetting he is a quick study as evidenced by his grasp of Auburn's spread offense in the period of less than one year. Luck needed 2 years in Harbaugh's system to pick things up although it is obviously more complex than Auburn's. It really depends on how short the Panther's window is for the draft pick to start.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By frankw · Posted

      Nobody on the huddle is saying we have an elite group offensively across the board. They aren't great. They're young. If you are expecting someone to agree with your position of blaming everyone around Bryce Young nearly three full seasons into his career you are going to be left holding the bag save for a handful of people who act like they are paid to defend his honor. Bryce Young is not a guy who has had to claw and fight his way into starting jobs in football. He's had the best to work with and been gifted roles since he was a teenager. The Panthers have one of the youngest rosters in the league and with us needing an infusion of young defensive talent in the upcoming draft we're only going to get younger. We need a QB who possesses the ability to elevate those around him. If you can't agree with me on that then there's nothing further to discuss.

      All Bryce and the Panthers had to do was split with the Saints and a rookie QB. The bar was so low. They even had a whole bye week to prepare. The time for singing kumbaya was before that game. Anyone still talking about Bryce earning a second contract 43 games into his career is living a fantasy. He might get one from the Tepper owned Panthers but he's damn sure not earned it.
