Just stop

The majority of us get it: he's a phenomenal athlete that can potentially be a great player in the league. He's a poor public speaker, but seems to mean well. He can say odd things but whatever, who doesn't. He was arguably the best player in the NCAA in the SEC with a spread system and will no doubt take time to adapt. He's a huge project, a huge athlete, and a huge risk. So, seriously shut the hell up because you look stupid on both sides and consequentially make this fan base look like a bunch of chickens running with their heads cut off.

Most of us are completely neutral and will not get mad if we pick him or not. I have my personal choice for #1 but who really cares about that anyways?

The draft is near, let's get together as a fan base instead of slowly growing more and more bitter with each other. We have the number one pick in the entire draft and our franchise is about to change a lot within the next few weeks and following months. Relax.

So again, just stop :)

Much Love,

I've been saying that I think personality wise, Newton is just one of those guys that some people love and some people hate.

Most of us probably know someone like that, and we already have or have had a couple of guys who have a similar polarizing effect on people who meet them (Steve Smith, Jimmy Clause, and David Carr to name a few).

That, to me, helps at least partially explain why there's so much difference of opinion on him.

Cam is no more of a project, than any other QB in this draft.

Say what ya want, there will be an adjustment, for every QB to be had.

Cam has shown he can learn 2 offenses in 2 years.

While I don't expect him to learn everything there is to be learned in a year, of the new offense that the Panthers will be employing, I'm sure he'll learn quickly.

How that translates to him getting onto the field this coming season (if we have one) is another story though.

    • Let's be completely honest about this... Our WR room is AT and a bunch of question marks. Thielen is the only guy we know who knows the route tree completely, understands play calls and can regularly get open/beat close coverage when necessary. He's long in the tooth, isn't the speediest guy on the field but he plays like a pro, starting level wide receiver. Xavier, last season looked great at first, but man he kind of petered out down the stretch and would disappear in a number of games. He wasn't reliable on routes or getting open and where he was supposed to be a king at contested catches, he often looked a bit intimidated. I'm not saying he's a washout by any means. Anyone with his size, speed and catch radius could make it big in the NFL, but can he do it? He'll need to show more than he did in the preseason before we can really rely on him as a WR1 or WR2.  Coker was a revelation last season, he really played way above his (non)draft status and flashed multiple times in games and was a steady performer. What we need to find out, though, is whether he was benefiting from being an unknown that wasn't getting maximum effort from opposing DBs or if he was just outworking and outhustling everyone on the field. We should find out this season. We sure as hell didn't find out much in the pre-season (from him or any receiver or QB for that matter). He's still a question mark, but I think he has the look of the real deal. He might be this generation's next Thielen. Now, let's talk about Tet. High first round draft pick, first true WR off the board this year. Stellar career out west in college. Has the swagger of the WR1. And man, y'all are going to get mad about this but... he comes across as a mook. And in the pre-season he performed, well, not so great against poor opposition of second and third stringers. Yeah, he caught that one moonshot ball in the first game but really, nothing else lighting the place up. Rookie endzone drop in that game, too. He's still young and adjusting, I'm sure, but I was hoping to see something of a breakthrough kind of guy. I'm still looking. Hunter Renfro? Gosh, I hope he can make the team and make a comeback to his old form. It would be such a great story. But maybe neither one of those happens. We won't know until Tuesday and then, if he makes it past there it could be weeks. So, TL;DR: AT is all we can bank on right now. We couldn't afford to let him go considering the number of unknowns we'd be throwing out there for our QB, who himself is still an unknown. One thing to add: Our receivers coaching group has their work cut out for them. I hope they are up to the task, but the pre-season gave me little reason to believe in them. And I really need something to believe in here in Carolina.  
    • Same I think Randsom is a baller..... hopefully we don't have to suffer through 4-8 games of Scott blowing azz to get him on the feild.
    • Linebacker is the biggest need - I hope we figure out a way to address it. Krys Barnes is the only one who even moderately flashed.  Super nervous about Trevin/Rozeboom as a duo (Still like Trevin) I'd be excited if we had a better vet to mentor Trevin.  Or a better younger guy to support Rozeboom.  They just don't fit well and it may be a big problem against the run, even with our DL much improved.
