he can he proved that in college, the question is when QBs refuse to study the playbook, Brett Farve and Mike Vick in the beginning hated studying each week

I Was being facetious, since there are so many huddle experts that seem to think he can't.

No more ludicrous than to think that a QB with a rating in the 20s and 50s in his Super Bowls is the reason they won them. Because that's really the only "proof" (as if such a thing were possible...this isn't a mathematical equation, it's all opinion) anyone has for Big Ben's supposed elite status, his rings. How hard does a QB have to try to not be the Super Bowl MVP if his team wins?

Man, I really hope the Panthers stand pat and decide to use the #1 pick on Cam. This is our franchise QB! This kid is going to be something special in the league.

I cant wait to see the rest of this

You took the words right out of my mouth.

I listen to people bash why we shouldn't select Newton. Character issues about Cheating and stealing a laptop. Questionable actions both made out to be much worse than they really were.

I listen to bashing about his accuracy and he doesn't have the mental capacity to be an NFL QB.

All he does is win. He has the desire to win, has the desire to be the best. I believe he will learn to read NFL defenses, I believe he will be something special. I believe that if we don't select him. In 5 years we will be the laughing stock of the NFL for passing on one of the premier QB's in the NFL.

Atlanta took Michael Vick who was primarily a runner with a lousy arm and he was a thorn in our ass for years. Cam Newton compared to Vick coming out of Virginia Tech is a better QB.

Have some faith, have some balls and pull the Trigger on Cam Newton.

He is our future.

Newton: Do want.

Newton could yield the highest reward possible for the risk of taking him at 1. The more I read/see/hear about Newton, the more I like the kid.

Same here. Seems like everytime someone makes a point that I agree with to take someone different. Newton impresses me again.

There is only one thing we should do. Do not force him in too soon. Let him learn about being an NFL QB. Defenses are complex and will confuse him early. Not that he won't learn them but would confuse any rookie.

The concerns about coming from a Spread offense to a Pro-Style offense doesn't concern me. Our coaches get big money to coach. He can be coached.

The Russell - Newton comparison doesn't hold water. Russell never protraited himself as a student of the game like Newton does.

He might be from a Different System but He will cause alot of trouble for NFL teams the way Vick did to us for many years.

DRAFT NEWTON.... YES MY FINAL ANSWER

      Um, no, just no. Bills, Chiefs, Chargers, Ravens, Bengals, Texans, Eagles, Commanders are 8 teams that it's not even a debate, they aren't trading their QB for Purdy. Patriots, Broncos, Titans, Giants, Bears, Vikings, Falcons are 7 more teams with QBs drafted in the last 2 years that also would rather stick with them than trade for Purdy as they all have more upside than he does. Lions, Packers, Cowboys, Bucs are 4 more that would likely keep their QB's as well, age aside for Goff, Dak, and Baker. Panthers and Colts are two teams in the same situation, QB's who have both struggled and shown flashes to where the teams probably stick with them because they drafted them, but in a re-draft of all QB's, they probably take Purdy over the guy they currently have. Jags, Cardinals, Dolphins, are 3 more with QB's who probably have a higher upside than Purdy but come with their own question marks, so debatable if they'd take Purdy over who they already have. That leaves Jets, Raiders, Steelers, Browns, Saints, Seahawks, and Rams. Rams would take him over Stafford for the future of course, but not for 2025, and I'd think the Seahawks would take him over Darnold, but honestly not sure if they would take him over Milroe at this moment as they really like his potential and have him for 4 years really cheap. That leaves 5 teams that I see who would absolutely take him over their current situation right now, and a handful of others who MIGHT take him over their current guy, a far cry from your 20.

      The Bryce Trade is Finally Complete. Who Won the Trade? Panthers vs Bears

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      Agreed. Also as soon as they received the top pick in the next draft it was over. Bears won that trade. Gave up a top overall pick got one the next year plus pick 9, a couple 2nds, and DJ Moore a proven young WR. Had their 2024 pick from us be in the late teens or later it would be more debatable IMO.

      Option A:  Pay your starting QB starting QB money. Option B:  Look for a starting QB for 4-10 years (or longer) while wasting the talent at every other position.    How many of the top 20 QB's do you think are worth what they are being paid?   When you factor in the last year of his present deal his contract is really an average of 45 million per year which in today's QB market is a very, very good deal. I wish we'd had found a Brock Purdy to pay 50+ million a year right after we parted ways with Cam.  Ya'll go ahead and live in fairy tale land where good to great (much less elite) QB's are available to pay. Just the fact that they had the chance to pay Brock after the disaster of trading up for Lance is a testament that when you find a quarter back you can win with, complete in the playoffs and superbowls with, you pay him.
