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 Sign QB Will Grier

      By strato · Posted

      We’re in a pickle. My best hope is we protect him and can run the ball vs most Ds and the WRs are healthy so he has every chance to not look like what he looked like in too many games last year.

      Panthers Sign QB Will Grier

      I'm really not stressing about upgrading from Bryce. I'm frustrated with our inability (or refusal) to recognize overall bad QB performance and failure to seriously address the issue. QB is the most impactful position on the field, and we're not only settling for what we've been given to this point, but we've rewarded it with a fully guaranteed 5th year extension for a player that's never played 2 NFL franchise QB quality games back to back in 3 seasons. I can't understand how that's ok from a coach's or GM's viewpoint. Successful franchises don't do things like this. It just doesn't make sense.  We do not have a top half of the league QB right now. Since we don't have that player, we should be looking for him. Pickett isn't it. Grier isn't it. Bryce hasn't proven he is yet. Until you have that sure fire franchise QB, you keep looking. You're not consistently making the playoffs, a deep run, or a SB appearance without one.  What's the worst that could happen? We end up with 2 potential number 1 QBs? How horrible.

      Easy to understand Pickett, if this is anywhere close to on point. Canales wants to get as close to Bryce as he can- get the pace and timing in the throws as close a he can to Bryce. So the other players don’t have to adjust so much, to a new guy.       If Cam was the 1, he would look for a rocket arm.  But Bryce is the 1. Look for limited in the same way.  Low velocity, plenty of air under it, feels just like home when Picket comes in. And you have the guys on the second team not having such a radical adjustment (if they have to play) like with Dalton to Bryce.    Enter Grier. I guess we will collect those types.
