Mobility and running aren't the same.

...Vick was/is a runner, is one of a kind...

You could very easily argue that Newton is more talented than Vick was coming out of College. Vick was a good QB in a great Program that had been doing well long before he came around. Newton put Auburn back into the National Spotlight. Vick has a quickness about him which makes him dangerous Newton has the size to take a shot and still get up.

Newton has every tool that Vick had while at Va Tech. It has only been the maturity of being in the league long enough and sitting in a cell for 2 1/2 years did he finally settling into being a mobile QB.

God knows choosing a QB with the #1 pick is tough enough, Newton makes it tougher, but IMO you gotta say WTF every now and then and make it happen.

2 things that I think are a difference maker. 1. If he fails we could convert him to a WR or TE. 2. Clausen IMO has the tools and will be better in this system giving Newton a backup or someone to sit behind.

I don't want Gabbert otherwise I will be content with Newton, Fairley, Peterson or Bowers.

Walterfootball just posted an updated, 5 round mock draft today..

There was a big change in our first pick. It still says nick fairley, but under the description cam newton is being talked about (no information about cam was in the first pick description before today's update)

What I found interesting is that the guy believes that we WILL chose Cam if our owner is willing to spend the money.. is money really that important in influencing who we pick first? if it is that sucks ass..

Well, anyways if you guys haven't heard about walterfootball mocks or if your curious about the update, here is a link: http://walterfootball.com/draft2011.php

When talking about the Panthers pick so many people make no sense when describing their reasons. This one does it also. I just find it so funny. First, this Jerry is cheap and not going to pay stuff is BS. One season of unloading contracts does not make that true. JR has, does pay and that will not be an issue again going forward once the CBA is done. Second, the writer goes on to say how Clausen is clearly not the answer and the team should just wait another year to start looking for a long term solution, and that DT is our biggest need :confused:

He did say he thinks Cam is great leader whose intangibles are off the charts. That the Panthers team lacks direction, so Newton would be the perfect solution.

I get basically from the article it comes down to how he feels about Jerry cause as I re read the article he is basically saying Cam will be the #1 pick if JR is willing to pay and that is excately what will happen CAUSE JR will pay and QB IS our biggest need and like he said Cam can be the perfect solution :cool:

A week before the draft, Marty Hurney might do what at least one other GM did since they started letting teams with the #1 pick negotiate with players before the draft and make an offer to his 3 top players on the board. Whoever is willing to take the least amount of money will be the pick. I don't remember who did that, but I distinctly remember that happening in the past. That sounds like a very Panther thing to do.

with no CBA after march and the draft is in April how do you offer contracts to 3 different players? By writing a rain check?
