My parents are good friends with someone in particular who works within the Panthers organization, and I was told as of today from this source that he can guarantee we will be selecting Newton in the draft. Anyways...figured this news was worth sharing :cool:

My Dad goes to church with a guy that knows the dude that used to mow Jerry Richardson's lawn. But that's irrelevant. I have a friend that works a concession stand in BofA stadium who has grown pretty close with a security guard who is the cousin of Marty Hurney's daughter-in-law. But that's irrelevant.

I went to an astrologist the other day and she said that the Panthers will indeed draft Cam Newton, so I agree with your first person fact-based prediction.

No reason to believe or disbelieve this statement so I'll just choose to believe it bc that's what I've been saying all along. If we stay at 1 it has to be newton...if we trade down (which I'm sure is still on the table) then I could see us forego a QB altogether.

What?

I can give you a name and position if you would like (however im not sure if this person would want me doing so), but i assure you this information is legit.

Gah. What a waste of a #1 overall pick.

Can't believe they're doing this.

Anybody they choose is a waste bc no one is considered good enough at the right position to warrant the pick. So you go biggest need vs biggest upside and biggest impact...and no one can deny that fits Newton perfectly.

      Canales doesn't sound all the way sold on Bryce

      To rub salt in the wound when you look back to what were considered some of the most underwhelming resulting seasons in Panthers history before the Tepper's came along we still managed a top 20 passing offense with journeyman Matt Moore and the ghost of Jake Delhomme in 2009. And Steve Smith was 44th in the league in YAC so it was not a chunk play pass offense. Obviously the run game was dominant with Jonathan Stewart and Deangelo Wiliams but comparatively the run game in 2009 only amassed 500 more rushing yards than the 2025 Panthers in a down year for Chuba Hubbard. It shows just how comically desperate we have become to adjust standards that actually used to mean something.

      I wouldn't have picked up the option, to me he's that replaceable. I think the Panthers are taking a more cautious strategy, not ready to move on yet but also holding off on committing to him until the last possible time.  Basically, he's a competent NFL QB. He's bottom third in the league. That's actually not a terrible thing. You can win some with a bottom third QB. If over time he takes a few steps forward he might be a median level QB. I think those are the kinds of steps that Canales is talking about. If you've truly got a median level QB, it's probably worth keeping him as opposed to roll on the dice in the draft. But just to be super clear, I don't think he is capable of taking those steps, and I think we should and will move on after the season

      Unfortunately this is more wishful thinking than anything. The problem is the bar is so low for what they consider success for Bryce Young. I mean we have yet to field even a top 25 passing offense with Bryce Young heading into his fourth season and it's basically considered a when not if we begin contract extension talks with him.
