Bucky Brooks: Carolina building for Newton

Recommended Posts

Bucky Brooks: The Panthers are looking for sizzle. Cam Newton gives them an "it" factor. He's built to play in the offense they're constructing around him.

I thought this was a really interesting thing that Brooks tweeted a few days ago. What does he mean by us constructing an offense around Cam Newton?? What moves have we made to make him possibly think that? Is the Chargers-esque offense that we are probably going to run a fit for Newton or something??

I hope he is right because Newton is probably going to be the pick. He's not the kind of QB where you can just put him in any offense and he is going to succeed. He's going to have to have something taylor-made for him.

i think he more or less is talking about how we have built a team that a rookie could play with...strong running game...went out and got a TE which can be a rookie QB's security blanket...newton does fit with our vertical passing scheme b/c that's what he does best is throw the ball down the field and with accuracy...it's still just speculation on brooks' part

Like I said, we're not going to shove Cam into a system and tell him to learn it. They're going to take the base system Chud runs and adapt it to best fit what Cam does best. Saying Cam's not the same as Rivers is pointless; he doesn't have to be. Our version of that offense could potentially be quite different from what SD runs, even if the basics are the same.

Newton in the gun, Stew and Goodson on each side of him..Smith in the slot w/Gettis, Lafell on the outside. Shockey at TE. Who do you try and cover?

Well at this point in his career you blitz the hell out of Newton and hope he makes a mistake (likely as a rookie). He's gonna be a Panther...There almost isn't even an argument against it. I hope it works out though.

First off bucky Brooks is a clown. Second, Newton is a fit for this offense? 900 page complicated playbook? Did bucky see newton look like a deer in the headlights with Gruden?

I could get excited about watching that after all the boring years- and I guess that's what the FO is looking for.

For starters, we don't know what our offense will look like this year with a whole new staff. Assuming we are still run first, this is a very rookie friendly offense but the o-line has to block this year or we will have the same result. Has anyone heard any updates on Otah? We can't open holes like we use to without him. :auto:

    • LOL... Yet again proving you can't look below anything than what you see on the surface Mock drafts ARE NOT draft grades They are what people think will happen.  They are mocking teams taking QB's in the top 5 of the draft because that's just historically how drafts go regardless of the grades on the QBs.  Almost every draft expert, even those mocking QB's going high, have said time and time again that none of these QB's actually grade out as those type of picks. This is again, where I say you don't like to actually read what I have to say, because I already explained it. 2022 the exact same thing happened, mock drafts had guys like Pickett and Willis going in the Top 5 because that's just what teams usually do, but GM's listened to their prospect grades and knew they weren't worth taking that high, so they didn't. It's not to say QB's won't go that high this year, but it's to say that they aren't graded out as elite QB prospects.  Mock drafts 
    • Have you seen the mock drafts lately?   Most of them have us taking a QB. Just because you aren't high on these QBs doesn't mean the Panthers or other teams aren't.   If you want me to be real I just think you a Tmac homer and all you care about is us drafting him. It's why you get so defensive when people mention other prospects.   Be open to other people's ideas. Nobody in this thread is saying anything bad about your boy Tmac. 
    • Oh good lord Interest doesn't mean interest in making a bad trade to take the player, that's why I had such a long post, to accurately describe why those are two different things, but you don't like to listen to that stuff.  Being interested in a player doesn't live in a vacuum. It's very simple... there isn't a #1 draft pick type of grade on any of these QB's, if there was, we'd just take them.  You can't bluff a pick everyone knows you won't make, and trying to trade the pick is the CLEAR signal that you're not taking the QB. Just because the Raiders would have interest, doesn't mean they're going to bail us out of a situation we don't want to be in, they'd be smart about it and just sit put, let us take a non QB as we'd be telling the world we're not taking one just by trying to trade the pick, and then they'd take him at #2 (either with their own pick or by trading less to get that one). Oh, and your point of "if nobody is willing to make the trade, you obviously just take the best QB" is quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever read on here. If nobody is willing to trade up to take the QB, then it's OBVIOUS that the QB isn't worth taking with that pick, so OBVIOUSLY taking the best QB there is just OBVIOUSLY stupid and a bad pick. The moral of it is if there is a QB worth taking, we're taking them and not making the trade.  If there isn't a QB worth taking there, nobody is trading up to #1 to take one, we just showed the NFL how bad of an idea that is 2 years ago, it's really not hard to see. You keep making up this mythical situation where there is a QB who has shown to be worth trading up to #1 for and we'll be able to leverage that into a trade.  But we're the most QB needy team in the league, if we end up with the #1 pick, either we are taking a QB #1 or no QB is going #1 unless we get VERY lucky and two teams in the Top 5 fall in love with one prospect and we can play them off each other and fleece one of them. But again, I can't see that happening, as if there was a QB worthy of that, we're just taking him ourselves.
