Does Newton know how to


Lumps

lose?

Cam only playing one year and winning it all means no one knows how he will react when he loses. It is eventually going to happen. Will he become even more focused? Who the hell knows? That is my biggest fear about him.

Cox on Walterfootball released their scouting report on him today and in reading it that is what pops out. Is he mature enough to handle it appropriately, and will he be able to learn that maturity appropriately seeing as he has no vet to sit behind as of now?

Strengths:

# Elite mobility for his size

# Strong arm

# Relatively accurate

# Hard to bring down

# Leadership

Weaknesses:

# Maturity and character concerns

# Only one season of major college experience

# Relies too much on athleticism over fundamentals

# Poor throwing mechanics

# Hardly any experience under center

# Mostly makes only one or two reads

I question the leadership because of him being on a winning team, I mean is that how you judge leadership by sticking someone on a winning team? I think the best time to judge leadership is under a sinking ship, like Delhomme for instance. Auburn has a lot of other talent and I feel someone was someone else's crutch. I am not sure who, no one can be as of now but I think it will really show through in the NFL.

Yea I know another Newton thread but I am bored and trying to find a way to like this guy more so I won't have a heart attack if we do draft him. I also really want a franchise QB.

I don't know. He has been with three different national championship teams, so maybe he doesn't know how to lose but he certainly knows how to win.

So going from a D-1 school back to a lower ranked school, and working his way back to a D-1 school where he wins it all and learns 3 different systems in 3 years doesn't show leadership. The fact that he admitted his mistakes and has worked very hard to redeem himself and been a model citizen the past 2 years doesn't show character and maturity??

He did what most folks wouldn't have done, start over to rebuild his career and image. Everything he has said or done in the past 2 years shows he is a humble grateful player who respects the chance he was given to redeem himself.

There is alot of things he needs to work on but maturity and leadership aren't two of them IMO.

I can see this draft haunting us for years to come...What if we don't draft him and he goes to the bills or vikings and drive them through the playoffs for years to come...Players development depends on the system and there physical attributes...This guy is raw talent...with the right coaching staff behind this guy he could be very dangerous to the opposing teams...but time will only tell...and that goes for Standford's Andre Luck...Only time will tell for all these players....Its time for the Huddle to break and sit on the sidelines and watch this one play out or at least until the private workouts and combine results to come in....Personally,I would have a lot more respect for the front office if they did Draft him because it would show that the franchise is willing to take a risk...Just to win...something this franchise hasn't done ever..We never was involved and any big trade unless we were giving up a player. Never did anything in FA but get old or players that can't suit up...The old way never worked and so why not...Pickles was pro ready...syke...He was always a loser...and its no way in hell we will win with him as a starter in a panthers uniform...

    • 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. 
    • At least we don't need to hear overreacting about towels ...
    • Actually there is, try being a Charlotte Hornets fan. I mean the team fuging moved at its peak and hasn't recovered since and that was 25 years ago
