I don't know about everyone else but I will be excited as hell. If Hurney and JR both sign off on Newton I would think all the concerns about the off the field stuff, at least to them, is over. And that is my only concern about Newton.

I'll also be fine if MD is the pick because I can't blame us for wanting to stay away from such a ? mark.

For me, it will depend on if how he plays in his rookie year. if he looks good, then i am happy, if he looks bad to the point we have a high pick next year then i will question if we will give up on another QB after a year. i will be interested in the pick because it's one of major question marks.

If we draft him #1 we won't give up on him after a year. Clausen was a 2nd rounder and is making peanuts (at least comparably) not even close to the same amount of investment. He will get at least 3 years (see VY/Russell/Leinart/Carr etc) to show what hes got

At the end of the day I'll be happy with whoever the pick is. Newton has enough flaws that make you worry but I think if he works hard enough he'll be a good player. If they think he's a franchise QB you can't pass tbf. You need a top-notch guy to compete in this division. I wouldn't blame them if they passed either. AJ Green/PP/Cam for me.

Your third sentence hit it squarely on the head.

If JR/Hurney/Rivera think he's a franchise QB....then draft him #1.

Problem is that no one knows whether they do or don't right now.

I am indifferent because I know we are doing our due dilligence and if their research concludes that he is worth the risk, then I am on board. And if their research concludes he is too risky then I am down with that.

They have learned more about Cam in the last few months than any of us will ever know.

Unless there is an ESPN 30 for 30 about him in the future.

    • To kick this up, The Athletic has a really comprehensive piece out where pretty much all QB questions are addressed. It is worth seeing.  https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7083539/2026/03/04/starting-quarterback-projections-free-agency-draft/?source=user_shared_article I’m putting something specific here but it should have a thread or something. It is an extensive exercise.  This is a dense write up with a lot of column inches used, about the Jets and Murray and Reich, all this stuff.. then it goes to backup QB and there is Dalton.  I am pasting that part: As for Dalton, Reich is installing the offense he was trying to run in Carolina in 2023 before he got fired, and Dalton was with the Panthers then; he’s an ideal option as a veteran backup to replace Taylor. Reich said this about Dalton in 2023: “The way he's throwing the football, the way he works through progressions, the way he handles the operation. … Since day one (when) he walked in the door, I'm like, 'This guy is starter-worthy.' You guys know I've said that all along. He's, in my opinion, one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the world.” ——— That’s true love lol. I never heard any of this. Pretty crazy I think, considering how the year went.   Anyway the dream is not dead. . 
    • The Seahawks traded for wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline. He proved to be a key acquisition. Shaheed returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the regular season and had a 95-yard kickoff return in the postseason. Shaheed, though, is scheduled for free agency. So, the 12 games he played, including the postseason, might be the extent of his time in Seattle. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Shaheed and the Seahawks are not close to an extension, and the expectation is that the two-time Pro Bowler will hit free agency. Shaheed has 153 receptions for 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns in his four-year career to go along with three punt return touchdowns and a kickoff return touchdown. He ranks 13th on PFT’s top-100 free agents. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-rashid-shaheed-appears-headed-to-free-agency
