Cam Newton:Why Not?

With all the concerns about Cam Newton's ability to translate, just what exactly do people see out of these defensive prospects that A) have to learn to be pros, and play at this level B)how does improving our defense improve our last rated offense C)can people really ignore the fact that we NEED a QB, and that what Jimmy has shown wasn't much. D)we took a (supposed) best pro-ready prospect last year who didn't pan out.

So why not take the better polished prospect (in comparison to Vick/The Golden Calf of Bristol mechanics etc.) with Michael Vick-esque athleticism but with the proto-typical QB size. What do people see in our offense that says we will be good enough for years to come without taking an opportunity to address our QB need now. Is there really any better time to do this?

I understand that there is absolutely nothing to talk about, but I really don't understand why people feel the need to express the same thing in 6 different threads. I can see if there is news about Cam, but how many opinion threads on one person are needed?

Apparently several. If you prefer not to read/participate on the topic why waste your time posting? I don't know you or your interests, but if you have nothing to contribute to a thread other than to complain, why post?

Why not waste space in the thread, if people can waste space in the forum on another Newton thread. I felt like it. Don't do it as often as I used to, did this time. so :prrr:

Being that this is the #1 pick we cannot fail on the selection. I want someone with the least risk as possible. We have a glaring hole at DT. I'd like us to finally replace Kris Jenkins and stop using scrubs at DT. Even if Dareus doesn't end up being #1 caliber player he is still likely to be a good player and can at least contribute. Long term solutions at QB do not work this way.

We just drafted Clausen who may get better and I'd like to see Moore finally get a legitimate chance with the new staff.

Gettis and LaFell will be better and our offensive line will be back those are things that will make the offense better. Armanti Edwards will finally see some time and Smith will be healthy too. The new offensive game plan itself is likely to be an improvement.

    • Don't take this personal, but anyone who watches pregame or game broadcast on any of the four major networks & can't point out a dozen "experts" that Luke would do a better job than, is just not paying attention. IMO
    • overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.
    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
