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.

Yes, I would, and McNair is who I think of most when projecting Newton at the next level.

McNair won an MVP award so heck yeah I would be happy. I was actually bummed when we traded down and got Collins instead of MCNair.

You weren't alone in that. And we followed that up in 96 by drafting Tshimanga Biakabutuka over Eddie George.

One of my worst draft memories is an ESPN guy asking Bill Polian "any concerns about his durability" and Polian flatly replying "none" :banghead:

I personally think whomever gets Andy Dalton is going to possibly get the best guy in the draft at QB this year if they develop him. But, if we could get the next McNair out of newton then I don't think anyone would be unhappy.

Let's just hope he doesn't fall one yard short :D

Eh, I still see Steve Young when I look at Newton's game and skill set. Personality wise it would be someone else and no one is sure about who that might be and I think that is the reason for all the ? marks.

To me, however, there are a lot of question I have about his game and how they would translate to this new offense Chud is installing. A Steve Young type of QB probably won't be successful in that type of system. So to me that is one of the bigger question marks I have more so than the character concerns.

      Off Season Thread

      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.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      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.
