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?

    • There's a lot of truth here, but at the same time, that one year of production we might be paying for is actually paying for a development arc. And a lot of players have those. QB is the most complicated position in sports, hands down.  I'm not saying Bryce will make it past the hump this year, the odds are stacked against him just like any QB in the league that isn't already considered an elite player (and there are only about 5-8 of those at most). Arcs happen, and slow arcs happen, too. Sam Darnold seemed a wash up for the Jets and a horrible mistake. He was better with us, but still couldn't carry a bad team on his shoulders (or bad coaching). He went to Minnesota and got a shot under better coaching with more mature eyes to see the field. Something sparked and then he took his team to the Super Bowl and brought home a ring. Baker Mayfield had a similar arc, and may yet hit the big game. Hell, locally, Jake Delhomme had one. Or Bryce could flutter back down having already hit his peak. It happens. More often than any of us want to admit. We've paid for a full development arc for Bryce, but we've had it on rookie deal rates and that's been a savings that has let us build out the rest of the team, which was really needed. Maybe we end up diving back into the QB pool in the first round next season. Might be the guy, might not.  But he'll be set up with a better team that Bryce was when he started. Or maybe, just maybe, Bryce adds another seven TDs and loses four INTs on the season. Grabs three more wins and maybe a playoff win, maybe two. It's not completely impossible and that'd be great for the team and for him.  We're just going to have to tune in and see how it plays out. Probably won't be boring. 
    • I am holding out hope for a miraculous run this season. But you know the narrative around him is peak delusional when the Panthers social team can post this without even a hint of irony. Four years and almost 50 games into his career he still looks like he's never set foot in the weight room. Really?
