How to Nudge the Team Toward Cam Newton

Well, I don't know about anyone else but I've made up my mind. Something caught my eye on twitter during the whole Andrew Luck lovefest and that was the fact that the team store was offering to swap names on old #12 jerseys with "LUCK" for a fee.

Now, call me crazy, but it sure seems like a good way to send a message to the team where it matters most: the wallet. Call up the team store and ask them how much they'd charge to swap "CLAUSEN" for "NEWTON" on your #2 jersey. Doesn't matter if you don't have one, if enough people call it'll send a message that I'm sure will eventually find its way to Morrison/Hurney/J.R. that the fans want Cam Newton to be a Panther.

I doubt it'd make up their mind completely, but it sure as hell can't hurt to let them know how many fans want Newton to be the pick.

The moment the front office drafts someone based on the fans' opinions is the moment I realize all hope is lost. Yeah, lets listen to the folks that do the wave while we are on offense.

This....

Also all of the Fans do not want CAM.... The fan base is actually pretty split on who they want the team to draft.

All the fans didnt want Luck, but this message board seemed to want to portray that picture. The only Panther fans I know that are adamant against Cam Newton post on this message board. I havent met one in real life that is against us drafting a franchise QB. I dont know any Panther fans who think our QB situation is fine enough to the point we can pass on the best QB prospect in decades. All the Panther fans I know in real life want to win. The internet is a seperate beast.

Get out more ffs, I've met plenty, of several races before you even throw that card out that don't think Cam is a franchise QB, and don't want him here....

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      This is always a non-story by the time camp begins.

      I've really only begun to pay attention this week being that training camp is looming, so I was personally caught off guard by the fact that Nic Scourton remains unsigned. That's not necessarily bad news, but it's not necessarily good news either. Apparently it's a thing with this year's draft class. "Of the 32 players selected in the second-round, 30 remained unsigned and the clock is ticking. "Already we've seen one second-round pick hold out from the start of training camp with that player being Los Angeles Chargers' wide receiver Tre Harris. Harris did not report with the rest of the Chargers' rookies on Saturday due to his contract situation, a issue that could impact nearly every other team in the league. "For the Panthers, defensive end Nic Scourton is the player to watch for when rookies start showing back up to the team facilities next week. "The 51st overall pick is one of the 30 second-rounders who has yet to sign their rookie contract and the reason why is due to the other two that have actually signed. "Cleveland Browns' linebacker Carson Schwesinger and Houston Texans' wide receiver Jayden Higgins each signed fully guaranteed contracts as the first and second players drafted in the second-round. Prior to this year, second-round picks never received a fully guaranteed deal, only players selected in the first-round." https://atozsports.com/nfl/carolina-panthers-news/panthers-nic-scourton-contract-second-round-pick-training-camp-hold-out-tre-harris/ So, I suppose we'll see what's what pretty soon. It's definitely something to monitor.

      overwhelming majority of kids in travel ball aren't getting scholarships though because most teams are rec caliber (and not watched by scouts)    and parents/leagues sort of helped create this system and narrative IMO where travel ball is now oversaturated and most of it is simply expensive rec ball.  is travel beneficial for some athletes to get more exposure? Sure. The ones travel actually existed for.   I still think travel has expanded entirely too broad at this stage......where they will now have 5 teams per year in your backyard area pending they can get parents to write those checks.   Ain't no scout ever laying eyes on 90%+ of the kids in travel ball at this stage of where it has morphed into.
