So is this just a straight up comparison of the two? Obviously Cam is much more athletic... Moore's main positive would be his NFL experience.

Well there has to be a reason why people would prefer one over the other. Is the only reason experience?

how can you preface "nfl experience" with "only"?

it's a big deal

Camp will prove who has the chops. No sense in trying to guess which parts to trade from one to another or why one will not measure up to the other in spite of this opinion or that statistic.

I know people around here are not as sold on Cam as much as others and those same people are also very concerned about the QB position. If Cam is a Panther there is definitely the possibility for a huge face lift to our offense which would satisfy lots of people. Unfortunately there is also going to be the same unreasonable expectations that were placed on Claussen, Weinke, etc. when they were thrown to the wolves. At that point it will be impossible to determine what he is failing at or excelling in as everyone will have their own ideas and "expert" analysis.

If you like the guy, cool. If you don't, that's cool too. The question is if you like him as the number one overall pick in an offense everyone is going to be learning with coaches everyone is going to be warming to. Forget what we have/had at that position in the past. Can you see Newton as a Panther and gelling with what we have in the locker room?

The pro-con list is so even I am indifferent about him and I am glad the decision is not mine to make.

Who prefers who? I don't know that I would prefer either... I haven't seen Cam play at the NFL level and Moore has been mediocre at best... was that a product of the coach/system/o-line? Probably some...

I don't think it's really a valid comparison though... QB wise I would say that Cam will be better mainly because he's the more athletic of the two, HOWEVER, this has nothing at all to do with the draft imo... because you have to factor in whether or not Cam (or any other QB for that matter) is worth the #1 overall pick.

IOW, is picking a QB at #1 going to make enough of a difference over what we have now as opposed to picking a better player at another position that will be more dominant at that position.

since when did wanting to bring Moore to camp mean we "prefer him" to Cam Newton? Not that I want to draft a QB, but no matter who we draft we'll want a good backup who has proven he can win games when a starter is injured. if nothing else, Moore has done that.

I also like Moore's perseverance, but it's hard to underrate his experience on a roster of QBs that is severely inexperienced. We've already heard how unlikely it is for us to get any of the bigger name vets out there.

I think that most quarterbacks in the league could benefit from Newton's athleticism. Of course, Newton could benefit from a lot of quarterbacks in this league too.

      Defensive Tackle: The Need that Shall Not be Named

      By rmoneyg35 · Posted

      Great post! Now that I think on it, I think D line might be our biggest need. We are one player away from having a potential disastrous defensive line. Brown and Wharton struggled last year and Wharton has really only been a rotational player that specializes in one thing. Can we count on him being a full time starter? Jackson is unproven. Do you want a starting defensive line of Wharton, Brown and Jackson? I don’t want to risk it.   I honestly don’t think linebacker is that big of a need. If Rozeboom ends up coming back then why get a LB?   games are won in the trenches and I would honestly prefer us drafting an offensive or defensive linemen over any other position in the first. The prospect you mentioned seems like a good prospect who has had some good production as well. Only problem is defensive line is a position that can take time for a player to develop. Will whoever we draft be ready this season ?

      Have they though? I'll give you KC with Kelce, but c'mon, they weren't winning those SB's because they had a great TE, it was a combination of Mahomes and some great defenses.  Will also give you the 49ers and Ravens with Kittle and Andrews, but even then, both have missed time with injuries the last few years. After those 3 teams, the best teams of the last 2-3 years have not had elite TEs The Eagles had Goedert, he's good, not great. The Bills have also had good but not great TE's The Rams have had average TEs and still consistently run 2 and 3 TE sets with them and still win. The Bucs have been winning the South without a great TE The Lions' Laporta is more a name than a highly productive TE. The Texans have had a serviceable TE in Shultz, but nothing too amazing. Some of the best TE's in the league the last few years have been on some of the worst teams.  McBride, Bowers, Warren, Njoku, even Pitts this past year. A true elite TE is absolutely a weapon in today's game, but I think the best teams use that money elsewhere and find serviceable TE play, usually through a committee where each TE brings something else to the table.
