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

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.

      Jalen Ramsey

      By Seltzer · Posted

      Would absolutely love to have him. I dont think he would require more than a 5th rounder. The biggest thing with his contract is the amount of guaranteed money. As long as they can work out and scenario where the Panthers aren't on the hook for a lot of that, I think it's a no-brainer. The Panthers can come up with $20M at the drop of a hat with restructuring Moton's contract, so there definitely isn't an issue from a money perspective. Jaycee paired with Ramsey along with Mike Jack would give us one of the best CB groups in the league. The one caveat I see is that safety still remains our biggest current weakness. We need a starting caliber S more than CB, simply put. But adding someone like Ramsey would be amazing as long as the compensation made sense. Ramsey could also play for FS snaps also. I also dont understand this nonsense about being seasons away. We have a QB on a rookie deal who was playing at an elite level to end last season. Within reason, now is absolutely the time to make moves like trading for Ramsey.

      He'd be a huge upgrade for this year, but we're still not going to be contenders with him and I'd rather keep the cap space to roll into next season to spend on a younger player who can be an impact starter for us for the next 3-5 years while we're hoping to contend.

      Because playoff hockey and regular season hockey aren’t the same thing.  It’s a combination of the game intensity being dialed up with loose officiating.
