I will never support Hurney again. Right now all Cam is is a project that wont help us for 2-3 years. He is not a QB that can come in and help right off the bat. With the first round pick that player should be starter material from day one. Do I think Cam can succeed yes but like I said it wont be til 2-3 years before he is ready. To wish him starting this year is just asking him to fail.

I don't think Newton has enough negatives and he isn't a reach for anyone to be disappointed that we took him #1 overall. We know a few things...he has star power, which would inject a lot of life into this franchise both locally and nationally...and people seem to follow him, which you absolutely need in a QB. Jimmy Clausen is neither of those things.

After watching his pro day workout I won't be disappointed if we select him, and I can't understand why anyone would either. Its not like there is a clear #1 in this draft...we don't have a franchise QB...might as well take a chance on one, considering the successes of first round QB's lately.

My reaction would be

" so who are we taking in the third? can we some how get a 2nd round pick? "

dudes got potential to be great, can't be mad at them for taking that..... will it really suck down the road? I don't think so, I think he will be very good. IMO its either him or Gabbert. Which ever the organization feels gives them the best chance to win I'm with it.

Plus he would be a Panther at that point, have to root for him.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      Not exactly sure that is an honest assesment of the talent he had to work with that year. Olsen had over 1100 yards that season making the PB, Stewart had close to 1100 total yards also going to the PB. He had Kalil at C who went to the PB, Trai Turner at RG who also went to the PB, and Michael Oher at LT who played well enough that the Panthers offered him a new contract the following year. I wouldn't call that a trash OL. He also played with a defense that was stacked with talent as well.   "The thing we are doing better this time around is actually surrounding our #1 overall draft pick QB with talent vs. asking him to completely carry the offense. I just hope that effort is leading us to realize that the guy isn't even good enough to get carried." Please.... Did you not read the list of names Newton had to work with his rookie season. I guess you missed it so I will post it again for you... Steve Smith (PB), Greg Olsen (PB), Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn JR, Deangelo Williams (PB), Jonathan Stewart (PB), Jordan Grossn (PB), Ryan Kalil (PB) on the offensive side and then he had Luke Kuechly (PB), Jon Beason (PB), Thomas Davis (PB), Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short ( PB ),Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy (PB ), Mike Mitchell, Josh Norman (PB)  For comparison, here is who Young had his first year.  Chuba Hubbard, DJ Chark, Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen, Hayden Hurst, Ikem Ekwonu, Chandler Zavala, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen and Taylor Morton. Not a single PB player on the list and most of them aren't even playing any longer. Additionally, his HC was fired during the season and the defense was as bad as the offense.  You might not like the comparison but saying Newton had to completely carry the offense isn't exactly fair to the 4 pro bowlers on offense who played with him that year.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      That's why I say we have to keep looking. Even if you believe Bryce is the guy, KP and Grier are not and who knows if King is anything more than a gimmick player, we should be active in improving our 2nd QB spot. Season ending injuries happen, and you don't just want to roll over and give it up. How many starters have we seen come from the ranks of backup? Having 2 potential starting QBs is one of the best problems we could have.

      Eh, it’s more on how bad the refs are. Some of these calls against the canes are no calls
