Top two reason stupid people WANt us to draft Newton


Mr. Burgundy

Recommended Posts

Here I'll do it for you:

1) He's black and you like black people (this is a joke based on a large faction of the anti-cam or "you're a cam fan" movement)

2) He presents enormous potential and our fanbase is scared to succeed if he pans out. They'd much rather waste picks on safe, non-impact players.

Or at least that's what I've gathered. :lol:

1. He stole from teammates lockers

2. He cheated, even after being caught

3. He just doesn't learn from mistakes, see driving history

4. Comes from a one read offense

5. Sporatic accuracy at best

6. No QB in this class is worth #1 overall

7. I, in my unqualified opinion, think he's immature and not ready to lead

Why do I always agree with you?

There is an "if" in there. And unlike a majority of this board, I don't need power in numbers to generate brain power. I think for myself.

So the ones who prefer another option are too scared to succeed, but only IF he pans out? I dont get it. What does that really mean? Just sounds like KT got in ya in a bit.

It's called pandering to an audience. I was stoking the fire because the board is so engulfed in Cam debate.

But overall, my premise is that our fan base is "okay" with being "okay." I've went over this a million times before but, the point is - what is our biggest position of need? QB. Of the other needs on the team, they can be much easier addressed in FA than QB can, or later in the draft. Simply put, QB is the biggest risk-reward position we can draft. And it's worth taking that risk to get a huge reward if it does pan out.

I think Dalton could end up shocking everyone and perform the best in a shorter amount of time. But, again, Cam has the biggest upside.

1) Character concerns...pfft...what character concerns?

2) Payton Manning + LaDainian Tomlinson all rolled into one

3) The best QB prospect of this draft? No, the best QB prospect...ever!!

4) Franchise QB...entertainer...icon...role model...I hear he can even do your taxes!!

Can't wait to draft the guy, what's that Cinci/Arizona.. you want to give us your 2nd round pick to trade up for him? Welp that'd be dumb of us since he's so awesome but hur dee durr we don't know what we're doing, we accept.

    • With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.
    • Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.
    • Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
