Moon thinks Panthers are sold on Cam Newton

Another Newton thread. PFT article dated 4/5/11. So it's new bitches.

“Ron Rivera came and watched him practice the day before his Pro Day as Cam was going through his routine for the pro day and said, ‘I’ve seen all I need to see as far as him throwing a football. I’m already convinced there. We just need to talk to him more about who he is and get to know him a little bit better,”’ Moon told Jim Corbett of USA Today.

The question, as NFL Network’s Mike Mayock explained it last month during a visit to PFT Live, is whether a team is comfortable with Cam Newton the person.

Moon thinks that the Panthers are.

“The Panthers had a great meeting with him over dinner that night,” Moon told Corbett. “I think they came away very impressed with the kid. It’s just a matter of whether they want to go defense or offense. If they go quarterback, it’ll be Cam.”

Suck it haters. :D

So is Moon gonna be Cam's official PR guy or what?

    • Its completely and utterly bootlicking at this point.  If you cannot acknowledge that using 3 picks on a rb with a torn acl in the 2nd round isnt a bad pick then you simply havent a clue about football.  Sorry man it is what it is.  And its insanely laughable you are trying to strawman this argument using other players.  And what fuging facts are you bringing that is justifing morgan using 3 goddamn picks on him?  I cannot wait to hear that.
    • Scourton's interviews are telling to me that it's only a matter of time before he could really put it together.  His limitation tool-wise that I see is in his bend, but at the leaner size, it looks like it wasn't a problem at Purdue.   He has a good moveset and reads leverages very well (vet level well).  Plays both the speed/quickness (great change of direction) and has a power game with good hand usage.  Moves from what I've seen in my digs: I'm seeing cross-chop, fake crossers into bull, bull rush, spin (his preferred move of choice), hand shuck.  He's not unrefined by any means.   If he can do 2 things---I'm feeling confident from seeing his interviews that we have a real dude on our hands: 1) Diversifying his moveset/how it's deployed - Over-reliant on some, but again, he has a growing palette.  And is already great with his hands so things are in-place to coach up. 2) Developing a counter moveset and starting to play the chess game with an OT - He's very good at reading leverage, knowing when to change things up during a play.  But NFL coaching should start to teach him how to really create a plan based on an opponent.  What to throw at a guy first, how to confuse with fakes/counters, etc.  How to play against these tackles as a game progresses.   Overall, he has some things that give me serious optimism: Run Defense, speed moves, power moves, he's super young and has the size/length.  When you really spell it all out, I think we should get excited.  Temper expectations from a stat sheet standpoint, but he should be able to go in and make an impact.
