Best/Worst Case Scenario Taking a QB #1 Overall

[TheRealDeal]

I agree they probably aren't going to pick a QB, but at the same time, i do not think it still isnt' a possibility. Look at previous drafts... a QB always goes #1 when in need and when they are perceived as worthy...

Fixed for accuracy

Because no one hits as hard as those safeties from Oregon right?

Which one of those safeties knocked him out. I missed that.

Your funny. SO using process of elimination the only choices for the first are

TE, FB, K, S, RB, C, OT, OG, LB, or DT. But we can also eliminate everyone not named Fairley in your mind right. LOL. Way to think outisde the box. Mark my words in 3-4 years a DT taken after Fairley will surpass him in sacks and Pro Bowl nods.

that is probably a safe bet for the first position player drafted in every NFL draft.

Best case- People are happy with the pick and we find a starting QB

Worst case- people bitch and moan about the pick all year and never let either QB be good enough.

I wouldn't be mad if they drafted a QB.....more often than not clear cut #1 slot QBs don't turn out to be such. So if teams were smart they wouldn't have drafted all these #1 BPA QBs that so many claim this draft doesn't have b/c of Luck staying. Drafting is a gamble......Fairly, Green, Peterson could all be easily as big of flops as Newton.

i think you missed a bunch of panthers games last year also, stating you doubt cam would not have gotten knocked around

Can't argue much with his fanboys.

As for Newton, he's boom or bust. If he can adjust to the NFL and an NFL playbook, he has a chance to be great because he has all the physical tools. However, there are WAY too many questions around him to take him at #1 overall. I'm not sure I'd take him in the 1st round at all. In fact, I'm not sure there's a QB in this draft that I'd take in the 1st round.

Jake Locker is the guy who IMO was the #1 pick going into the college football year. I thought it was his to lose. Well, he lost the hell out of it. I wouldn't touch that guy in the first 3 rounds.

I seriously doubt that.

Newton has never taken a beating remotely close the one that Moore and Clausen took this past season. Why believe he could not only endure it, but thrive in it?

Bro, he's CAM NEWTON

What I believe is that he wouldn't be taking some of those hits in the first place. The guy runs a 4.5 40 and he's got about 30+ lbs on Moore and Clausen.

Yep. He's this drafts version of Elway. Some were wanting Newton, even when Luck was still in the hopes and dreams of Panther Nation.

So you are saying he's going to be a runner and not a passer? 40 time doesn't matter in the pocket

Obviously, he can do both. Now stop following me around like a puppy.
