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:

    • This draft is 2023 all over again, it's not hard to see. QB's who don't grade out as high first round prospects while at the same time, the following draft class looks to be loaded with elite QB prospects. Drafting a QB just because you need one (or making a bad trade to make said draft pick), when there isn't one worthy of that draft pick, is how you ruin franchises, just look at us right now.  
    • I upgraded to the S24+ a few weeks back. Very happy with it. 
    • 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.   And yes, I've never said I'm not a T-Mac homer. But me being that doesn't change that he will be the highest graded offensive player in this year's draft, at a position we haven't been able to solve since we lost Smitty.  Taking him makes all the sense in the world, my bias aside.
