Peter King: Panthers doing homework on Newton

"'A few times,'' he said, "I'd be sitting in my office late, watching tape, trying to figure out what we'd do in the game that week. He'd call and say, 'What are you doing? Can I come up and watch with you?' And he'd come up and we'd go over things. He just loved it. The best way I can say it with Cam about football is, he's just ate up with it.''"

And there are people who still question his work ethic. If a guy has this kind of work ethic and his obvious physical gifts you can overcome and fix a lot of his short comings. If he stays clean off the field we may have found our franchise QB (assuming all the signs are true).

What more do you want from a kid. His coach in Blinn raved about him, his work ethic, his leadership and what kind of person he is. His story of the championship game in 2009 is what makes legends in the NFL. Unlike a RT that I know of that if he strains his middle finger he goes to the IR list, at least he plays with pain and the desire to win is #1.

What kills me is the HATERS want to convince themselves that the information requested just happens to be a formality in the process of selecting anyone but Newton. I can't wait until the 28th so this drama can be over with.

In the beginning I was against Newton, but over the past 3 months I have been convinced that if we pass on Newton it will become a mistake we will regret. Hopefully not like Red Sox Letting Babe Ruth go and the curse they live with for almost 100 yrs.

Pull the trigger, Draft Newton

Don't take "their coaches raving about them" as anything monumental. All coaches rave about their players.

I seem to recall that the LSU coach "raved" about JaMarcus Russell before he was drafted.

Again, I am not "speculating" whether we take Cam or not. I think there is a very good chance that we do....but also a very good chance that we don't.

Just pointing out that all of the speculation by the "experts" is nothing but that.....speculation and conjecture. It is based on NOTHING but their opinion and gut feelings.

If one could come out and say that JR or Hurney said he was our likely choice, I would give credibility to it. Until then, these articles and blogs are worthless.....no matter how much the Cam Believers (switched my name for them to be more PC) want to believe they mean more.

And the same old threads keep being made.

Anyone speculates that the Panthers are taking Newton......a dozen Cam Nut Huggers piss themselves trying to make a new thread.

You need to get over your problem, whatever it is.

One of the best known sports columnists in the country writes about what the Panthers are doing leading up to their number 1 pick, and you don't think it is grounds for discussion in a Panthers forum?

I have now seen it all!

While any coach wants to see his "Boys" in the NFL. This doesn't sound like your snowball answer to an interview. He called the folks that said he was fake "Full of poo with a capital S.

While you are correct that it is an assumption or speculation you cannot pass on the indicators that they asked for Tape. Clearly that has to be some sort of indicator that the meeting went somewhat well last week and they want additional information.

Even as a supporter I cannot say for certain that we are taking King... But I can hope.

So if coaches just talk up their guy and are their comments are to be ignored, then how does anybody find out any information on his work ethic? Honestly, I would trust what his former coaches say more than what scouts are saying during draft time.

I fully believe the meeting went well with Cam....because the staff and ownership group came out and said it did.

Just like I fully believe that he is definitely in the mix for the #1 overall pick.

Like any non-emotional and rational person out there, I am not jumping at every "speculation" by the talking heads as "evidence" of anything. I take it for what it is...speculation.

Now on a serious note: If you have to go all the way back to Blinn Juco to further review the guy, he shouldn't be your pick. You remember all those kids on high school teams that have no business at all ever stepping on a D1, D2 or D3 field? Guess where they go to School and still play some ball? Nuff said

WOW!! You mean last year he dominated the SEC as essentially a true freshman who hadn't had meaningful time against true competition!!! Makes me want him more. ;)

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
