A number of people in this thread have suggested that Richardson doesn't like Cam, or that he isn't sold on him.

Please enlighten the rest of us on where this info is coming from. Sources please.

I think one of the CBS guys said it, but I couldn't tell you which one. It was posted a little while ago. Look back a few pages and you might find it.

True or not? Derned if I know.

And that's my point.

I remember reading one blurb, and yes, I think it was on CBS, where someone stated they had heard this.

Just like a lot of info out there pro or con, I don't believe there is sufficient supporting chatter to assume this is true.

so just because more people are saying we'll pick Newton, that is more believable than the people saying we won't?

got it... :rolleyes:

Gruden wants the Panthers to take Newton so his brother/Bengals can get Gabbert. Smokescreen!

Thats just what you'd expect from Gruden. Don't put it past him.

Alls fair in love and war and drafting.

Gruden knows Gabbert >> Newton.

I don't think "chatter" supports anything.

Pretty much everything posted on both sides of the debate has been either speculation or opinion.

Nobody knows jack. The difference is some think they do while others are willing to admit it.

TBH Newton might not even be in the mix... My understanding is that JR doesn't want him...

If we don't pick Newton, he could slide to the middle of the first or further... That should tell you a lot...

so just because more people are saying we'll pick Newton, that is more believable than the people saying we won't?

got it... :rolleyes:

Not what I am saying at all. I have an opinion on who they will draft and I know who I want. My comment was directed at the JR not liking Cam comment.

We saw that one report on CBS and nothing else. So is there more to your "understanding" than this one report? And it's an honest question...if there is more out there about this, I would be interested in hearing it.

duly noted and apology extended...

That just further reinforces my point though that until Marty, Jerry, or Ron come out and say "we are picking Cam Newton #1 overall" I don't think there is any point in anyone taking such an extreme side... Let the chips fall where they may and then move forward... We have 9 days left until this is over...

I don't think they should pick him (or any of the other QBs). I'm not about to predict whether or not they will.

The mistake is in thinking that a mountain of media speculation means anything.

You could make a pile of feathers if you wanted, and might make something pretty sizable, but they'd still be feathers and would likely blow away with the first stiff breeze.

      Everything revolves around Bryce This Year

      Also says a successful record for the Panthers would be 8-9 at minimum. Anything less let's us know something isn't clicking. Anything over 8 wins is over achieving

      Everything revolves around Bryce This Year

      By KaseKlosed · Posted

      Top 5 areas who hold most pressure according to AI:    Bryce Young (QB): As the 2023 No. 1 pick, Young’s under fire to boost his 2024 stats (11 TDs, 10 INTs) despite thin WR talent, or he’ll be labeled a bust faster than a comet crashing into a black hole. His growth is critical, like Burrow’s 2020-21 Bengals leap to the Super Bowl or Carolina’s 2001-03 rise from 1-15 to Super Bowl with Delhomme’s emergence—step up, or you’re just a pint-sized promise lost in the cosmos, oh cosmic quarterback. Dave Canales (Head Coach): Canales must scheme around limited WRs and a porous defense to lift the 5-12 Panthers, or Tepper’s impatience will send him packing like a wayward space probe. His play-calling needs to mirror the Lions’ 2020-22 rebuild under Campbell (3-13 to 12-5) or Carolina’s 2010-13 climb from 2-14 to 12-4—fail, and he’s back to assistant stardust, you playbook prophet. Dan Morgan (GM): Morgan’s tasked with upgrading the WR corps and defense after years of roster gaps, or he’ll be jettisoned like a malfunctioning satellite. Smart acquisitions, like the Bills’ 2018-19 additions for Allen’s playoff push or Carolina’s 2012-15 surge to 15-1, are his lifeline—miss, and he’s a galactic footnote, you roster wrangler. Defense: Allowing an NFL-worst 534 points in 2024, this unit must stop being a galactic sieve or remain the league’s punchline. Turnarounds like the 49ers’ 2018-19 defensive revival to Super Bowl contention or Carolina’s 2012-13 shift to 12-4 show it’s doable—stay leaky, and you’re the universe’s doormat, you generous tacklers. Wide Receivers: With no top-tier talent in 2024, this group—likely led by new faces like Tetairoa McMillan—must step up to give Young viable targets, or they’ll doom the offense like a starless void. Elevating like the Rams’ 2021 WR corps with Kupp for Stafford’s Super Bowl run, or Carolina’s 2002-03 receivers enabling an 11-5 Super Bowl push, is their mission—flop, and you’re catching nothing but shade, you route-running rogues.

      I was literally about to reply and say the exact same thing. I don't know what the coaching staff sees in him.
