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.

    • I feel the same way. Bryce hasn't proven himself to be so good that he would clearly lap anyone that we'd bring in the compete for the starting job. I think the team is actually afraid to do that. If Bryce goes down does anyone think Kenny Pickett is solid option to replace him?. We can control him for 2026 and 2027. The problem is 2028. Unless he takes a massive leap forward ability wise, I don't see how Carolina can justify paying B.Y. $50 million a year. So far, Bryce has not shown that he can CONSISTENTLY carry a team. He needs to be carried by a strong offensive line, running game, pass catchers and a respectable defense. If he's lacking any of those things I don't think we can make the playoffs in 2026/2027 unless the NFC South is as bad (or worse) than 2025. Unfortunately, athletes and agents have EGOs! When he has a chance for a 2nd contract his management team will probably insist on a "market deal" and feel insulted if they don't get one. That leaves a couple of options if his play hasn't significantly improved. 1) Let him walk and test the market. 2) Franchise him for the 2028 season if you're still not sure about what to do. 3) Extend him to a team friendly deal that pays him below the "current market" which would allow the team to continue to build a solid team to support him. 4) Over pay him and pretty much ruin any chance of becoming a consistent contender. The last option is the LEAST DESIRABLE ONE. The 2026 season is a pivotal season for Bryce and the Carolina Panthers. The success of the next 5-7 years could ultimately be decided on how well plays the next 2 seasons.  
    • Thank god BigKat can't buy it because I'd be gone immediately 
    • Drake Maye ended up putting almost 300 on them lol. Bryce was stunned from the beginning to end. I know that's an easy comp for the Bryce truthers but no one else put up those puny QB stats against them all season long.
