The Cam Newton and Race Thread!

[Kurb]

I'm not a victim, Im a prophet. I'm a leader.

I'm look for more of a QB, Entertainer, Icon myself. :)

You know, I can't help but wonder what the perception of Cam Newton would be if he was white. I've got a feeling that his intangables would be talked about a lot more than they are, and that more people would assume that he's smart and hard working, as opposed to assuming that he's dumb and lazy and has to prove that he is able to learn and willing to work. Just my two cents.

I'm not a victim, Im a prophet. I'm a leader. I say things one day, and the world catches up and agrees months later. Truly ahead of my time. Ask me who I said back in October the Panthers should draft #1? Ask me who I said was the best QB prospect in the draft then. Now here we are, and old KT might not be as crazy as we try to make him out to be. I think thats why people are so upset, they hate to see old KT be right even for something as beneficial to our franchise as this.

Terrelle Pryor?

You guys better be careful or KT is going to shut the internet down!

What about his actual ability to play the QB position?

By #1 pick standards, he's terrible at it.

If he's so damn terrible at it, then why do so many experts believe he's worth a top ten pick? Whether it's #1 or #10, you're expecting him to be a franchise QB, right?

Terrelle Pryor?

That is correct, no need for the question mark. I wonder if he remembers prophecising ole Pryor or if he even remembers his name.

[OneBadassCat]

I wouldn't care if he was white or black. The fact that he runs every other play is going to get him destroyed at the NFL level. It might work for a few games but he is not as elusive as Michael Vick and he won't be able to get away with it like he can.

I would rather get a veteran QB. Mcnabb, Palmer or Bulger. That would bring more wins than a rookie QB.

Mcnabb's already proven a failure in one year in dc what makes you think he'll work out here, in a completely different offensive system to boot

exactly If he is so terrible why do they think it's a option out there where a top ten team trades up to get this "terrible" QB prospect..smh

Main reason I would want McNabb is so he can mentor Cam (if he's the pick)/Clausen like he did in Philly w/ Vick.

"A legend in your own mind" would be more like it :nonod:

When are we going to get an asian QB?

See The Golden Calf of Bristol, Tim (with more athleticism and character concerns).

Except that The Golden Calf of Bristol also had huge concerns about his throwing motion and even how he holds the ball in the pocket. Those things are not a concern with Newton. All he needs is to shore up his footwork.
