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.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
