Is Cam Newton a star in the making or a scrub?

Interesting quote by Bill Polian! Anyone care to discredit his evaluation ability?

"There is a huge drop-off in talent below Newton because he is a unique talent." - Bill Polian

I'm sure it will be that he took collins, biakabutuka and others..

I don't blame him for none of them picks. Tim downfall was injuries he was very talented. Anybody remebers the Redskin game where he could have went for 200 yards in the 1st half?

Then you can't blame Polian for Kerry. Kerry hurt Kerry he would be near HOFamer if he could have kept himself out of trouble and off the bottle when he was younger.

Both player were good picks you can't predict how injuries and maturity will happen.

What makes me like this kid is his drive to be good. What scares me is he has alot to work on but he seem like he will throw full effort in doing it. Couldn't say that for jamarcus or VY.

He will work his butt off to get better and believe it or not he will represent whatever franchise takes him in very positive way. The amount of time and energy he put into off field mentoring and community activities while he was at Auburn was truly impressive. What was even more impressive is that throughout all the bad pub last season he never attempted to use it to his advantage in the media by making a big show out of it.

So how does one benefit from making a big show out of bad publicity?

      Moton extension. 2 more years, $44M

      By Loyalty4Life · Posted

      In your opinion. What do you think Moton's true value in contract, dollars and guarantees? If we had not extended him, what is your plan for RT in 27 and 28? How important are good offensive linemen for our current offense? How much value do you put on protecting Bryce at this stage of his career? How difficult in general do you think finding above average tackles in the NFL is?

      Falcons with Major Offensive Line Injuries to Start the Season

      By Seltzer · Posted

      The Falcons have 2 significant offensive line injuries to start the 2025 season. Right tackle Kaleb Mcgary (who is the blindside protector for Penix since he is left-handed) is going to miss significant time, and it's looking more like it may be all season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-expect-kaleb-mcgary-to-miss-significant-time https://x.com/BKsquared7/status/1959285822236107013. Also, the top backup and swing tackle, Storm Norton (cool name BTW) is having ankle surgery and may miss half the season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-ot-storm-norton-out-6-8-weeks-after-ankle-surgery I don't root for injuries, but its also hard to be too sympathetic given how badly injuries have hit us in recent years. We definitely need to get that W in week 3 for our home opener at BOA. Despite our collective frustration at not being able to attend TC and then having boring preseason games, ultimately the most important objective of the preseason is to enter Week1 healthy, and we have at least done that. Hopefully the depth we think we have at Oline either shines through or isn't needed. Many other teams are in a bad spot with their offensive lines before the season even starts. For once, we aren't in that situation.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By CRA · Posted

      That roster was billed as a super smart and strong unit for a young QB….until he sucked though.   it didn’t have superstars but it had proven vets that checked well all the safe boxes and it was universally agreed the Panthers were putting him into position to succeed. BY just doesn’t fit a traditional O because he isn’t built like a traditional QB.  And he still doesn’t.   CJ Stroud would have had more success here than Bryce with that cast.   CJ just has the tools that fit the NFL more easily.  Young can find success but I have always argued it would take a Bryce centric plan (which we have never attempted IMO)
