Only one negative Newton thread allowed at a time or else it'll throw off the 20-1 ratio!!!!!!!!

Right, the vast majority of these threads have been started by the anti-Cam crowd. It all started with the media only workout that you and Mr. Scot claimed would turn every GM and scout against him. How's that working out for you?

Never said that, I can't speak for him but what I said was that scouts and GMs had already reported that it rubbed them the wrong way.

It's also come out in many scouting reports now that he is a "Me first" guy and they cite the media workout as a reason for that.

It didn't do him any favors

Cam lovers have their fair share of over posting and re-posting pro-Cam articles.

It's just the way it is.

Hard to see without a neutral perspective, I know.

Form my neutral perspective however the anti-Cam's as you call them, seem to have more basis for their argument. Pro cam people's line is along the lines of "just take a chance!" or something to do with race and I have yet to see anyone, anywhere say they would not draft Cam becasue he is black.

You can even see it in the people responding in this article. Ultimately that is what Cam is though, a chance so I suppose there isn't a lot of material there.

Well I haven't started a single thread about Cam Newton, but I sure as hell have answered a lot of threads that were designed to make him look bad.

There have been probably 5 threads about how we shouldn't draft him because he wants to get paid to play football. Imagine a pro football player wanting to get paid...that's just crazy.:rolleyes:

Just because I am neutral doesn't mean I don't have a perspective.

There are a few Cam lovers who actually bring good, supporting evidence. I have read a few good pro-Cam threads...wish there were more.

Why bother?

We've been over the FACTUAL components of Newton beyond any reasonable discussion. In every case, either Mr. Scot, TRD, or mav, and a few others go all out with every internet forum tactic to discredit the facts, portray them negatively, or simply ignore them.

Newton's stock has skyrocketed since Luck announced his decision to stay in school. Without fail, after every test of Cam's ability, his draft stock shot up. The haters lost the the argument that he's not worthy of consideration as #1 overall, they are just in denial about it.

      Travis Hunter on T-Mac

      By Seltzer · Posted

      T-Mac put up good numbers for 3 consecutive seasons on teams without a good QB situation, and in an environment where T-Mac got game planned against weekly and still performed. Teams threw all kinds of defensive coverages against T-Mac, and he still found ways week in and week out to contribute at a high level. XL was basically a 1-year wonder. Doesn't mean he cant be great (and I think him & T-Mac will compliment each other well), but i think T-Mac is the more polished of the 2 right now. This certainly isn't a perfect comparison, but I hope XL & T-Mac can approximate what we had with Smitty & Moose (Although i think T-Macs ceiling is higher than Moose and XLs ceiling is lower than Smitty). Both those guys were multiple Pro Bowlers and even All-Pro. T-Mac & XL have a long way to go to actually being comparable, but the potential is there. And regardless of how this season turns out, you can actually see a strategic plan being executed. On paper, I think this offensive roster has as much talent as any Panthers team since 2017. Defense is still a question mark, and it's unrealistic to think we will go from being historically bad to great in 1 year, but based on historical and statistical data, we stand a much better chance of turning the defense around in 1 year than the offense. I still want us to potentially add at S, CB, and ILB, but this roster is exponentially better than the roster heading into the 2023 season. Which still begs the question of how & why the team thought they were in a good position to trade all the way up. Regardless, it's in the past, and while the past 2 years have mostly sucked, we are strategically in a much better position than we have been in years. This is easily the best WR group since 2020 IMO (Moore, Anderson, Samuel). I'm super excited about what T-Mac can bring to this offense and team, and I'm really hoping we continue to build off where we ended last year offensively, and hopefully we've made enough improvements on defense to be competitive. I've also been vocal for the most part in supporting BY9. He came into an awful situation and to a team that was in no position to make such a trade.   Still, this is Year 3. And this is a team that IMHO has both the talent & depth on offense to score and score a lot. Most QBs that ever amount to anything are competing by Year 3. There are no excuses for the offense not to perform. I think BY9 knows full well what's riding on this year in terms of his long term future.  And I think T-Mac is a massive piece in helping Bryce and the team get over the hump and back into playoff contention.
