I just want to see what TRD has to say if the Panthers end up taking Newton, and that is not nearly as far fetched as some of you think. There have been QB's taken at #1 with far less star potential than Cam Newton, that's for damn sure.

I will say we made a mistake now let's move on and see if he can improve. It would also show me that we are in complete rebuilding mode and the team isn't determined to win this year, which is very possible despite what most people think.

What do you say if we take Gabbert?

What do you say if we take Newton and Moore starts opening day?

There's a very real possibility Gabbert goes before Newton this draft.

Either way, I don't want a rookie QB starting opening week unless they completely wow Rivera in camp. I'd much rather have them be eased into the system.

People act like Newton is the clear and away favorite as the best QB in this draft. He's 2/3 and mostly because Mallet is immobile and has more character concerns than Newton or he could be looking at 4th.

I guess I should have asked, what will TRD say when Cam proves him wrong?

Prove what wrong? Proves that he doesn't need to improve his skills and proves that he only needs to be athletic?

Unless he comes in and is amazing day one he won't prove anything wrong because I've said all he needs is polish and he'll be fine. So if in 2-3 years he's a decent QB that doesn't mean anything.

You guys really do have a hard time with critique and hate.

there's no guarantee about Newton.. if the scouting department and coaches don't draft him, chances are they didn't think he was going to be legit, or too much of a chance...

I'll certainly understand their opinion more considering all the QBs with huge upside/potential that flop..

That's a lot different tone than you had in earlier posts. Why the change?

How is that a change? I don't think I've changed once. He's a project. He has a ton of work to do. I never said he can't do it. There are a ton of questions about him, both on and off the field, whether you think so or not. If you were giving him 30-40 mil, you would think they were.

My tone hasn't changed one bit. I have him as the third QB in this draft, as do some others. I think he has more work to do to be an NFL QB than the other QBs do.

Both have a high risk/reward. Newton is more talented of the two that for sure.

At this point I can see us picks Gabbert up just as much as us picking Mallet up. Then I can see us picking Mallet up just as much a Newton. I really cant say I would pick Peterson over Fairly or Fairly over Peterson. Really there is not a single pick that just screams IM NOT A BUST.

He'll just change his handle like alot of other posters. Alot of people on this site have backed themselves into a corner being absolute sure what this guy or that guy is gonna do on the next level. People are emphatic and passionate about guys not producing as NFL QBs. I dont think those people are gonna be willing to stick around and catch hell for being so wrong for the next year or so. Their cred will be shot, so I imagine some will stop posting, others will change their handles, few will admit they were wrong and baseless.

Will you do the same if he busts or will you just blame it on everyone else?

      Panthers Blueprint: Draft

      LOL, I tried to do this also....But I never found enough to make a guess.

      Who is/will be an 'All time great' thats on our roster right now?

      By Basbear · Posted

      gosh no one cares about the OGs...   Id list hunt here too, if not for missing 95% of the season.   Best I can say, Tri Turner was the best OG in panthers history if you factor in career length. Wharton was super solid, but never elite. Norwell while having a 1st all-pro, only played 2.5 starting years.    If lewis stays on the panthers and keeps his play lvl at 2025, his path is right there and easy. In 2028 he could be the best OG in panthers history.    Dang if panthers or NFL don't have long great careers.....its sooo rare.

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      By Basbear · Posted

      All true, Stafford and Mccvay were both talking about "retiring" during those future picks too, I member. In my computer when you make future trade, I feel you have to factor in the worst case or close to it from your side. The big issue for the panthers, maybe even now is that they have not proven they can draft well enough to trade. I know that Dan and company have not traded future picks and they seem to always want 7-8 picks overall. They like to trade 3 picks for 3 picks or 2 for 2.   It would have been great to flip BB for that haul and use those Rams picks instead of the first overall pick...... Verse wise, Jesus what a beast....... Garrett is the top dawg and all, but man this is rough for me. I also noticed this about the panthers they are pedo bears, they like dem young. So a 25 year old verse would have gotten gigged with the panthers. Even with NIL and 6th year, and even coofus fallback, panthers prefer younger players. Monroe Freeling (Round 1, Pick 19 | OT, Georgia): 21 years old Lee Hunter (Round 2, Pick 49 | DT, Texas Tech): 22 years old (estimated) Chris Brazzell II (Round 3, Pick 83 | WR, Tennessee): 22 years old Will Lee III (Round 4, Pick 129 | CB, Texas A&M): 21-22 years old (estimated) Sam Hecht (Round 5, Pick 144 | C, Kansas State): 21-22 years old (estimated) Zakee Wheatley (Round 5, Pick 151 | S, Penn State): 22 years old (estimated) Jackson Kuwatch (Round 7, Pick 227 | LB, Miami OH): 22-23 years old   Tetairoa McMillan, WR (Arizona) — Age: 22 Nic Scourton, EDGE (Texas A&M) — Age: 20 Princely Umanmielen, EDGE (Ole Miss) — Age: 21 Trevor Etienne, RB (Georgia) — Age: 20 Lathan Ransom, SAF (Ohio State) — Age: 23 Cam Jackson, DT (FL)- age 22 Mitchell Evans, TE (ND)- age 22 Horn-22   Fitterererere just turned out to be a awful hire, too green, too willing to please, no sense of what talent looks like on teams other than Seahawks, too much pressure, didnt have the correct network of coaches and FO office people. Kick was herniay leftd him with a bare bones talent to start with and besides taking a bottom level team and improving it, he made it even worse AND trading prime draft picks to prolong the timeline to fix. People forget Dan didn't have the 1st overall pick and 39th overall(that dude looking good for bears) to repair this team. Dan could have traded that 1st overall for a proven 1k WR, 9th overall, future 1st and future 2nd......
