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...

    • Round 3, No. 83 Dametrious Crownover, OT, Texas A&M The Panthers haven’t drafted an offensive lineman since Morgan was promoted, and Dave Canales and Brandt Tilis arrived in 2024. There was a good chance that trend was going to end even before Ikem Ekwonu ruptured his patellar tendon in the playoff loss to the Los Angeles Rams.Now the Panthers have to address the tackle position and might double down in the draft and free agency. The 6-7, 336-pound Crownover is a large human with a huge wingspan, and helped himself with a strong showing at the Senior Bowl, where he played both tackle spots. Brugler doesn’t have Crownover ranked among his top 100 prospects, viewing him as a raw prospect capable of making an impact down the road. If the Panthers sign a stopgap tackle in free agency, Crownover could be worth drafting as the future successor to Ekwonu or Taylor Moton.
    • Round 2, No. 51 Anthony Hill Jr, LB, Texas The Panthers may have to trade up a little higher in the second round to snag Hill, who racked up 17 sacks in three seasons for the Longhorns despite playing primarily as an off-ball linebacker. Hill has the speed and athleticism to run down ball carriers sideline to sideline, and the size (6-3, 238) and attitude to meet them in the hole with authority. His coverage skills remain a work in progress, but he looks like someone who’s about to begin a long and successful NFL career. You might say he was born ready, coming into the world at the same hospital in Wichita, Kan., as Barry Sanders. In his second game at Texas, Hill had six tackles and two sacks in a win over Alabama, including one on the Crimson Tide’s final offensive play
    • Round 1, No. 19 Akheem Mesidor, edge, Miami It was tempting to kick off mock season with a Georgia linebacker again, and C.J. Allen certainly could help Ejiro Evero’s defense as a three-down backer. But Morgan has made no bones about improving the pass rush this offseason, and it just so happens that his alma mater boasts two guys who can help with that. Rueben Bain is projected as a top-10 pick, but Mesidor might be the most polished pass rusher in the draft. Granted, he’s had a lot of time for that polishing: The Ontario native turns 25 in April. Morgan hasn’t selected a player older than 23 in his first two drafts. However, the 6-3, 270-pound, high-energy Mesidor will inject juice into the pass rush from Day 1 after leading the ACC with 12 1/2 sacks and finishing with 17 1/2 tackles for loss last season.
