Tom's gig is opinion, but informed. RT @mattyb001 hey is sorensen actually reporting something or just giving his opinion on Newton story?

Hmmm... ;)

Me too. Actually I watched the whole combine without ever checking the huddle.

The monday following I got on here and was very disappointed at how negative the mood was about a guy who had a good combine overall. I'm not endorsing any player because I think that's just silly and a little conceited, but I was impressed with Newton, Dareus, Peterson, Austin, and to a lesser extent Fairley.

Smoke screen ....

Lol, 1st

If Marty believes Newton is worth the number one overall, I'll stick with him. I'd rather trade back though and see if we could get him later

shocker gantt didn't really reveal anything

It's interesting to me that a team who very closely guards their inner-workings has been so public about their interactions with Cam...

I'm not sure where this info about workouts, etc is coming from - but if it's coming from the Panthers then it screams smoke screen.

Absolute best scenario would be as you say to go back to between 3rd and 5th pick and get one of these guys (Dareus/Peterson). I would also add Green to the mix.

Are we saying bluff now instead of smoke screen?

Because of what herm edwards stated is why I think he'll be our pick along with everything else we have heard this offseason about our QB situation from our higher ups.

And interesting enough I'm thinking a lot of mocks/scouts/tv analyst don't have us taking Cam because they don't think we are willing to pay number 1 money to a QB smh.

[CatMan72]

I don't think Tom Sorenson knows anything more about our chances of drafting Cam then any of us do, beyond the obvious interest the Panthers are showing. Like Gantt said, his gig is opinion and he knew this article would generate exactly the kind of discussion we're having.

At this stage in the process, the Panthers don't know who they're going to take, so there's no way Tom, Gantt or anyone else could know.

I don't think they're being any more public, actually. It's just that we're picking 1st overall this year and those players always get more attention than the mid-late 1st rounders that we usually bring in for workouts/interviews.
