Cam Positive vs. Cam Negative

Recommended Posts

I've come to the conclusion that while Cam may have a very high ceiling, he's going to be a project and we don't need to spend the # 1 overall pick on a guy that's going to need the amount of work Cam will need before he can contribute.

exactly which is why its a better choice for a team with a starter in place to draft him. he can sit, develop and wait his turn.

if done correctly, he'll show up in 3 or 4 years. dallas sounds like a landing place, maybe new orleans, new england.....

but with the work needed, he won't be successful starting immediately. clausen was trained in a pro style offense and bombed. newton wasn't, so he'd be tremendously better than clausen? doubtful.

mark it here, newton will NOT be the #1 overall pick. end/

what if we've done such a good job smoke screening that someone trades to the #1 pick and takes cam?

It's pretty amusing to sit back and read the haters posting every piece of dirt they can find on Newton while his supporters do the same with every shred of good stuff....

all the while maybe or maybe not realizing they have no control over his future.

We can add a 3rd category. Cam Newton threads bitching about what other people discuss in a discussion forum.

He just ran a 4.59 40 by the way, third all time for a QB...but some scout thinks he looks terrible

What difference does the 40 time make?

Kaepernick was faster, lets take him 1st overall.

Hard to be 3rd all time when he is in a 3 way tie for 4th this year.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
