The pick is not going to be Gabbert, the pick is not going to be Mallett, Green, Locker, Dareus, PP, or Fairley.

I talked to an inside source earlier this evening and well, he is about 90% sure the Panthers are taking Newton. He isn't the highest player on their board but apparently they have pretty much fallen in love with him.

In my three years of knowing him as a source he has been wrong about only one thing the Panthers have done, and no, this isn't some bull poo "My cat is the inside source."

Embrace the Newton.

Yay?

Reality starting to sink in for the fanbase now. Even the Charlotte Observer comments are slightly more pro-Cam than in previous weeks.

I trust Hurney to make the right choice here. He's never steered us wrong in the 1st round before and I have no reason to believe he will here. And I'm not just saying that because Cam's my guy either. I really do believe he's going to be our franchise QB, though.

It won't be instant, but there's little doubt in my mind that Cam can take us where we want to go.

Here is what I like about Newton.

1. Has all the tools to be a very good QB.

2. Can make all the Throws

3. Mobility

4. Desire and drive to be the best.

The majority of college players have one question or another about them and I think Newton's desire to be the best is going to be the deciding factor for us. We may have a tough year next year but I believe with the opening post's inside source. I think we take Newton.

I still really fail to see it, if I had to predict his stats on a full starting season it would be

8 passing tds, 12 ints, 4 rushing tds.

That is a moot point anywhos due to the fact he won't be starting right away.

Thanks for sharing what you heard. If the organization saw something in Newton that they are in love with... then I trust they're making the right choice. Underarmor is going to own the panthers haha

Maybe if he starts as a rookie, I can see those stats. Hopefully either Clausen, Moore, or a vet we bring in can hold down the fort at least so Cam can sit down and learn and adjust before being thrown to the wolves.

If he's given that chance, I can imagine his first year starting looking something like:

55% completions, 2100 yards passing, 18 TD's, 20 INT's. 400 yards rushing, 5 TD's.

Which would be a positive first year for him, IMO. Freeman made a HUGE jump from his rookie year to last year. You tend to see that with 2nd year QB's who sat all or most of their rookie years, assuming they're going to be any good. With guys who start from day one like Ryan, Flacco, Ben, Sanchez, etc. you actually tend to see a drop-off in year 2.

Fine with me, if Verge's sources are correct. At least there's hope.

I think Cam would be the difference between 2 wins and 8 wins, possibly more.

He'll start as a rookie. He's not going to sit behind Clausen and Moore, for fugs sake.

I doubt they'd start him as a rookie, he still has a lot of things to learn. We would need a vet QB to start until he's ready.

      First 4 NFL starts - Tyler Shough

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      Has anybody actually said anything of that sort? (if they did, I missed it) I get why some folks rely on stats. I don't, and honestly I'm not sure why people keep trying to convince me I should. (it ain't gonna happen) 😕 Consistency is my big thing too, and the lack of it is why I want to move on from Bryce. But again, that's an argument I make without denying that he can indeed play in (and yes, win) NFL games. Hating bad QB play is fine. Denying when you see good QB play is silly. Let's be real for a second... This may not be you specifically, but there are some folks for whom Bryce can do absolutely nothing to win their approval. Some are always gonna want a bigger / stronger / faster / more athletic (in some cases, Newtonesque) quarterback even if Bryce does start to play consistently. At that point, they'll just shift the argument from "we can't win with Bryce" to "well, we can't keep winning with Bryce" 😖 You know all this as well as I do. So again, I want to move on from Bryce as well. I'd happily (hell, merrily) keep him as a backup, but I doubt there's a realistic path to that happening. But no matter what, I'm gonna keep my debate points based in reality, and I'm not gonna be responsive to "he just sucks" level persuasion. Is any of that unreasonable? 🤔

      Apples and oranges.   No one is coming for Jon Snow and the neutral party when they compliment Bruce when it is just normal talk about a game.  Which is the literal picture you are trying to paint above.  I mean that’s exactly what you argued. if you start a thread that is about the future of the franchise at QB going forward at QB and what we should do or are thinking! Yeah, the anti Bryce crowd is going to very vocal on that thread because the literal topic is extending Bryce and the future at QB (which is what an anti Bryce position is literally about.  Moving on.  The future) This thread? I literally called out people in their feelings wanting to make this about Bryce and their hurt feelings eroding over.  You can find where I literally calls them out go make another Bryce thread if they didn’t want to talk Saints and the most relevant thing about them.  And the thread went exactly as we all knew it would.   Bryce deserved player of the week talk for Atlanta.  I have always acknowledged his great games.  A shame there are only two
