Or just their red flags, whatever.

Because I can.

Newton:

1. Poor accuracy

2. Character issues (liar, thief, family issues)

3. Played in an offense that was more simple than my high school offense

4. Not very smart (simplified offense, having to cheat on testes, not being able to grasp florida offense)

5. Athleticism will not translate well to nfl

6. Runs more than he throws

7. Tired of hearing KT

Gabbert:

1. Did not dominate in college

Your turn!

Yeah, because we need ANOTHER Newton thread. Hell, I've got a picture of him in my sig, and I'm getting sick of it.

But I'll bite...

Or just their red flags, whatever.

Because I can.

Newton:

1. Poor accuracy

No evidence of this in his stats from junior or Div1 college or consistent multi-game footage.

2. Character issues (liar, thief, family issues)

Mostly rumors, or charges that were dismissed, or had nothing to do with choices he made personally, and has no bearing on his ability to perform on an NFL field.

3. Played in an offense that was more simple than my high school offense

Many current NFL QBs came from spread offenses that have had success translating to the pros.

4. Not very smart (simplified offense, having to cheat on testes, not being able to grasp florida offense)

Again more rumor about the cheating. As far as intelligence goes, he scored a 20 on the wonderlic. Dan Marino and Jim Kelly's scored 15 on the test. What does it matter if he can make plays?

5. Athleticism will not translate well to nfl

LOL, yeah, cause his arm strength will be a problem? Or maybe his ability to out run a good many LBs and some corners will not work out for him? JFC...

6. Runs more than he throws

Completely false.

7. Tired of hearing KT

Then stop giving him ammunition with stupid posts like these.

Gabbert

1. paper champion-looks good in the class room but does none of the things he talks about on the field.

2. Accuracy- He just can't exist in the down the field type offense ron is bring in (15%) with the deep throws.

3. Happy feet- this guy move around the pocket just as much as newton if not more for no reason.

4.Product of hype-Seriously how many of you knew who blaine was before the start of the draft process? what has he done on the field to believe he can lead us anywhere?

5.Character- Believe it or not getting in to violent fights could translate into a team issue as with steve smith.

6.Not that good of a athlete- yes he has a good 40 time but doesn't really translate on the field looks clunky like a robot trying to escape the pass rush(luck does as well).

7. Name- I for one don't want to cheer for a guy name blaine gabbert or yo gabba gabba or gabby or "gabrielle union"

Newton:

Character issues. Has he grown up from earlier mistakes prior to Auburn.

New mechanics. Will all the work with trainer translate quickly

Offense. No idea what new offense is really going to entail so how does he fit.

Gabbert

Accuracy. Also coming from spread offense but was not as accurate as Newton

Blitz performance. Showed shaky peformance being blitz in college will it be worse in pro's

Arm Strength/Deep balls. Will he be able to stretch the field with his arm like it seems like the coaches want.

Might as well be. He knew it was stolen, therefore stolen property in his possession. Maybe he lied about buying it?

inb4KTsaysiamracistbecausewarrenmoontoldhimto

completed 66% of his passes

he threw more than he ran

don't know how smart he is....

athleticism does translate well to the QB NFL......but you still gotta be able to make the throws for it to matter.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
