Would you be happy if Cam Newton could become...

the next steve mcnair? Granted steve did it 4 years in college and granted i don't want to see cam or any other player end like steve did, but for years steve was a damn good qb.

I reference steve mcnair because coming out from a skill set he had some of the knocks on him like cam does. But steve really learned to sit in the pocket, take his drops, make his reads and deliver the football.

Time will tell.

absolutely!!!!

I think turning out like McNair or Cunningham would both be fine with me. Part of what you would hope is that Newton is 35 lbs bigger than Cunningham and more durable. The problem with Cunningham was that he only weighed 215lbs which at his height was too thin. You always felt that he was going to get snapped in half. Having his ability in a bigger more durable model with a little more accuracy would be close to ideal.

If we draft Newton, I want him to become his own positive definition in Pro Footbal. I want him to become something above and beyond any of these other players. I want him to truely change the way QB is played. I want to see him become the first African American QB to win the League MVP, Super Bowl, and Super Bowl MVP and have multiple Pro Bowl appearances. I want to see him have a long career as a Panther that brings us accolades and awards, and be a force of positivity in our community.

If we don't draft him and goes on to all these things, I'll be severely depressed that we might have had him, and he went on to greatness elsewhere.

    • I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.
    • Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.
    • Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
