Article That I Believe May Be Connected To Cam Chatter Yesterday *Theory*

[pantherfan81]

According to sources close to Draft Headquarters, the Carolina Panthers have one name in mind that they are hoping to use the first overall draft choice on in the 2011 NFL Draft. That name is Auburn quarterback Cam Newton.

From what we have been told, the Panthers are very high on the Heisman Trophy and National Championship-winning quarterback from the Tigers. The Panthers secretly are “hoping to see Cam do well this offseason,” as to earn the support of the fan base to take Newton with the first pick.

Arguably the most high-potential, high-risk player in this year’s draft, Newton has the type of talent that just doesn’t come around every year. With a need for a face of the franchise (or “entertainer and icon”) as well as the upside and potential of incumbent starter Jimmy Clausen not looking so bright, Cam has become the one player the Panthers have turned their attention to.

"At this point, no player has proven that they are worth the first overall pick. However, the Carolina Panthers are hoping that Cam Newton can prove that he is worthy of the pick."

In one year, Newton won the National Championship with a "mediocre cast at Auburn," as well as came back from 21-points down against an Alabama team that is filled to the brim with future NFL stars. In 2010, Newton threw for 2,854 yards, 30 touchdowns, and just seven interceptions with a 66% completion percentage. Add in that he rushed for 1,473 yards and 20 touchdowns, and according to a long-time NFL scout, "this kid is special." -Shawn Zobel

Yesterday's Tweets:

The more people I talk to in the league, the more I get the feeling that #Auburn QB Cam Newton ends up going first overall...-Wes Bunting

A lot of talk surrounding Cameron Newton going First Overall in #nfldraft to the #Panthers. I've been preaching that since January. #NFL -Ryan Lownes

I believe the #Panthers will take Cam Newton or Blaine Gabbert after hearing they were down on Fairley. They do like Bowers, but injury ?'s. - Chris Steuber

Just a thought is all. I'd like to know his source.

I tho Clausen was special as well.

He was... short bus special

Again, if Blaine Gabbert blows out Cam in his respective Pro-Days and private workouts. Then take him, I'm cheering for whatever QB we pick.

If not, the writing is on the wall, and Cam is our guy.

The source is a guy with a draft website. That's pretty much it.

Is he right? Maybe, but "sources close to Draft Headquarters" don't exactly register that high on the scale.

Would make sense. There was an abnormal amount of chatter yesterday. All quite today though.

And I have to say it bc i have all day........ smokescreen :willy_nilly: :willy_nilly:

66% completion percentage.

As full season starters, Manning's highest was 64.2 during his sophmore year. Tom Brady's was 62.8. Drew Brees' was 63.4.

It's a humorous figure of speech writers use sometimes. Essentially it means "this is my opinion" or "what I'm getting from what I hear/read in the press".

It'd be like me saying "a source close to Mr. Scot has reported..."

Its obvious that these misleading information was purposely put out by Hurney. It kills me that any sane person can really believe that Carolina would draft Cam Newton.
