For the guys who want Newton

Recommended Posts

Why do you want him?

1: You realize he is raw and has too much potential to pass up

2: You think he is polished and will translate seamlessly into the NFL

3: You think our team needs some excitement and he is an exciting player

4: He's a National Champ and Heisman winner

5: You think he will translate seamlessly to the NFL and has potential to change the position forever

6: We just need ANYONE at QB in the draft because we have the #1 overall pick

That's a bit of a strange response. It's just a question. I wanted to know why people want him. To each his own though

I was J/K I'm still pissed about not understanding your jersey question. I've researched and researched and I've found nothing.

Because our QBs are Clausen and Pike. Maybe Moore gets another chance to choke, underwhelm and disappoint, but we can't count on that until we actually get a Free Agency period.

Best FA options are Billy "the backup" Volek and McNabb's pale shadow.

I mean, we could take a shot at Newton or Gabbert and try to fix ourselves or I guess we could draft Peterson or Dareus and just wildcat all year and hope we don't drive Luck back to school. Again.

His upside.

He's athletic, got NFL QB size and weight, a strong arm.

Also his arm and his ability to throw the deep ball will fit perfectly into the system that Chud is bringing to the Panthers.

He's raw for sure, needs to work on his footwork and route timing and the things all rookie players need to work on. However, he's shown the ability to improve in a short amount of time and that leads me to believe that he has the work ethic to succeed in the NFL at the QB spot.

    • I am trying to remember when I EVER said reach for need. My thing if someone falls you jump, if you can trade back a few slots and get help at the right value and pick up some ammo to move up from 51 which I think is outside the money zone, then you do that.   Take a WR later. Plenty of capable WRs have come from the 3rd round. Though this year I would go for C there if there was a reasonable choice. Take a TE if you must. I see more reason to take WR than TE. I think you give guys drafted two years ago and last year a chance to develop before cancelling them.    I think it is kind of unrealistic to throw everything all in on offense in hopes of going deep in the playoffs after an 8-10 year, even if it did have some nice bright spots in it.    And outside of this argument but relevant to it, I am bothered by Canales and Morgan and their apparent posture that we have arrived and are now in the big boy club. I don’t know where that comes from. They are out there talking like they are winners at 8-10. Backing into the playoffs in a real convoluted tie breaker scenario. They had some good games, yes. But the big feather n the cap, the LA Rams matchups, did you see what the Rams did? They didn’t fire the coaches but they fired their defensive backs. Bryce beat them yes, and it was pretty, but it was kind of like the Bucs and Mike Evans picking on our decimated secondary in 2022. Someone (Wilks) went down for allowing that to happen and they went down in LA too.  Wr aren’t as good as a whole lot of homers think we are. Shore up the trenches.    I think too many fans buy into it because they are so starved for anything that looks like a winner. 
    • How exactly does one win OROY "by default"? Wouldn't winning the award mean that of the two, McMillon stayed strong the entire year while the other guy didn't and fizzled out? That's like saying Secretariat only won by default because the other horse stopped moving midway through the race. Absolutely zero logic in that statement, which makes me very glad that I've never really paid much attention to Walterfoozball.
    • I agree, teams in the past have fired the HC in order to retain a coach on staff...hell it happened to Mcderp this year, rams in the past and Im missing another.  The fall off for the Panthers team defense was huge once Mcderp leftd and Ron could not fix it even when he named himself DC.
