If we Pick Cam Newton Will You...

If we draft him, he will become my new favorite Panther, and I will hope against hope that everything negative I've heard about him is wrong, and everything positive is true. And I'd really look forward to him being fully integrated into our system and executing the play action pass leveraging our stellar running game, and rolling out and heaving long touchdown passes with an arm strength we've not had in probably over a decade.

That said, I'd still rather we don't draft him.

honestly, I'm really not excited for next season at all, regardless of who we take.

What is there to look forward to?

The worst team in the NFL drafting a qb that won't contribute his first year?

If we don't take a QB then watching the revamped D causing 3 and outs only to have the offense punt in 3 plays again?

Watching clausen flail around behind the o-line?

the hardest schedule in the league with a rookie head coach with limited time with his players before the season starts due to the CBA bullpoo?

Next year is going to suck regardless of who we pick guys.

Option #2 and #3 (sorry, neither fit by themselves). I will complain initially (until camp or whenever the season starts. I will support him and hope he does well after that. If he stinks, then yeah, I'll complain until he's run out of town.

I will hate the pick. He is a bust just waiting for his chance to blow up and I hope its not this team he does it on.

I'm pretty sure you didn't even want the great Andrew Luck..so you are pretty hard to please anyways.

I will hold him to a much higher standard than any of our QBs ever before because I dont like him.

...you are aware if we take him it will be with the number one pick in the draft right?

That's usually a good reason to hold a QB to a high standard, even moreso than a second rounder or an undrafted free agent.

    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
