per McShay and Gantt:

McShay said he spoke to one head scout for a team with no need for a QB who responded when asked who Carolina should take said "Cam Newton".

McShay added that that numerous scouts see Newton as a 'once in a decade' prospect, even after his lackluster throwing display yesterday

Gantt: Here's another thought on Cam: Talked to one of the smartest people I know in the league. He wasn't shaken by yesterday's "bad" workout. Smart Guy: "Could still be a transformative player, a Magic Johnson, 6-9 point guard. We just want to see improvement from now til pro day." He has loads of physical talent, but it still a work in progress. You know that going in. Needs help to be special. Also, the smart guy shrugged when asked about Newton missing short outs high. "It's when he leaves them inside they get taken back for six."

McShay said that he still believes Blaine Gabbert is the best quarterback in the 2011 draft.

I wouldn't close the door just yet. Like I said earlier I don't think he had quite as bad a combine as some people would like to think.

Can't you just make "teeray's Cam Newton Updates Thread" or something.. I see like 0498309480943 threads by you all with the same purpose in mind.

Also another thing.. If other teams actually don't highly regard Cam, of course they'd want us to take him. It'd be a wasted pick. It's NFL diplomacy.

Cam actually had a really good workout, he just messed up on some of the throwing drills. He's got the measurables. He's got the throwing motion, it's just accuracy and timing he needs to work on and that's something that can be fixed with coaching. So i'd hope a lot of people aren't putting so much weight into the combine especially with no defenders in your face.

I think I have only started like two threads on Cam. I may have 0498309480943 (is the zero in the front necessary?) on Cam though.

Plus I would never be like JOAT and start a thread in the third person. That is too arrogant :D

      I’m expecting a breakout season from Ja'tavion Sanders

      By rayzor · Posted

      seems like he wasn't quite himself when he came back from landing on his head. like his confidence wasn't 100%. hoping it is, though.  we've got a lot of potential here. i really like our TE room right now. RB corps is stacked. WR doesn't look too shabby either. and we are going to see some good things from BY too.

      How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

      By Navy_football · Posted

      It's been mentioned in this thread, yet many are glossing over it... This WR group has a ton of potential. TMAC, XL and Coker, and maybe even Horn as the speed guy will get a ton of snaps in this offense. The reality is that they are all really unproven. Hopefully they're ascending, but we don't know if XL and Coker are maxed out based on last season. TMAC and Horn are ROOKIES. So the only "proven vets" are Thielen, Moore and Renfrow. Not exactly top of the league. Biggest issue being a lack of speed to take the top off of defenses. Say what you want about Tedd Ginn but he was probably the most important receiver on the team in 2015.

      That would basically make him a top 10 quarterback based on last year's stats if you break down each QB metric, complied and ranked them. I get the premise of the question--why should we get rid of Bryce after the season if the team still sucks, but it's not Bryce's fault?  Fair enough. If Bryce balls out and for whatever reason we still can't get over the hump, he shouldn't catch all the grief for it.  However, I will caveat that while stats can add layers of paint to a canvass, they do not always paint the whole picture.  So while those hypothetical stats are pretty darn good, if we are inept in the red zone settling for FGs or he's coughing up the ball on sacks or completing layup passes that doesn't get us first downs, then statistically he can have a really good season, but it could leave us on the short end of the scoreboard some games.
