I now 100% endorse Cam Newton for the #1 pick


Sam Mills Fan

Recommended Posts

My cousin was talking with Sal Sunseri (former Panthers defensive line coach from 2002-2008, current Alabama linebackers coach, SI's 2011 recruiter of the year) and he said that Cam Newton is the best football player he's ever seen. He was more worried about him than he was worried about Michael Vick when Vick was shredding the Panthers for that stretch of time.

I already had Cam Newton and AJ Green right there for who I wanted at #1, but this solidified it for me. So long as he has a great combine as expected, the list of reasons why we should pick someone else over Newton at #1 will diminish to basically zero. He has the potential to be a franchise-saving player that's going to be like a defibrillator for everyone: front office, team, fans, etc.

So anyway, I put a lot of stock into what Sal Sunseri says. He's seen the best and has no reason to prop someone from Auburn of all places, especially not to my cousin.

I'm also joining you in hoping that we use our #1 overall pick on Green or Newton. I think they're both special players, and either one of them will be dominating in our uniform for a long time. I wont be upset with Green or Newton. Cam being the face of our franchise is something that really intrigues me, though. He'd bring a new excitement(not to mention more fans) to the Carolinas. I haven't bought a jersey in years. Lol, I can honestly say if we drafted Cam, I'd order a Newton jersey as soon as they were available if he came here :lol:

Welcome aboard the Newton train. I hope you will help us in this constant battle that goes on everyday with some of the knuckleheads around here. We need all the help we can get.

The best football player he has ever seen? Considering he has first hand experience of some of the all time greats (Manning, Brady etc) I have a sneaking suspicion that this comment has been blown out of proportion.

You can't compare any college player to one of the NFL greats before they take a snap in the NFL.

However, I am not surprised you have decided to make a sweeping statement, you never make these kind of predictions :rolleyes:

I took it in terms of having to gameplan for but YMMV.

    • They were the worst receiving group in the NFL last season after Diontae lost his mind.  We're putting a lot of faith in 2 second year players developing, 2 rookies (1 being a 6th rounder), a 30 years old that hasn't played in years, and a bunch of UDFA. Hopefully Dan and Brad can work their magic. 
    • So 2024 draftees count if they're ahead of him, but not if they're below? Probably better to just compare him with QBs with equal or less NFL experience? There are only 3 other first or second year QBs ahead of him. So he's 4 of 11, and on the rise. We'll see if Jayden and Bo can hold their spots. Either way, all of them had better receivers than Carolina. Hopefully your boy TMac can help in that department.  Watching the games, CJ and Bo didn't look better than Bryce the last 8 games to me. Now Jayden was friggin lights out. That kid can spin it. 
    • I don't really get all the people saying the Bears decisively won the trade. They had the bottom ranked offense last year when supposedly Caleb Williams was being drafted to the "ideal situation". None of their draft picks are massively contributing. We both missed the playoffs. Looks like a wash so far to me.
