Newton only similar to one successful QB in last 5 years..

Newton will do absolutely nothing for us for years to come.

Dareus on the other hand will give us 16 games of forcing

turnovers,QB sacks and 3 and outs. How can you pass up

a force on defense for an unknown(bust)quantity??

Smart move would be to play Claussen 1 more year,get Dareus

and if worse comes to worse there are far better QB's coming

out in 2012. I do not want a liar and thief as the Face of my Franchise.

The analogy I used before to compare Vick/Newton's running ability is that Vick runs the ball like Chris Johnson & Newton runs like Adrian Peterson.

Vick might run like Chris Johnson but that means Newton runs like the bus, not AP.

Newton is slow and clunky compared to Vick and takes a while to get going.

It's got to hurt that your favorite team may choose Cam huh? Since you like breaking down poo so much, how about you break down why Cam may be drafted by the Panthers. I would love to hear you break that down.

If we do pick Cam the kid will be on the sidelines until he can learn the playbook which hopefully won't be too long, but with the system switch, it'll take at least a year. Just be patient and take someone next year as we build a foundation for a franchise QB. That's what the Ravens did, the Jets, etc. etc.

And when/if Luck and the other top choices in the '12 qb class have a bad or just an average year, and the media hounds, analysts and scouts rank the more popular of the group as 2nd or 3rd round quality.............. should we be patient and wait another year, for the right qb?

    • Malcom Spence is the best player remaining, hope he’s there.
    • The era that you played in, and, more importantly, who you played with actually matters. Honestly, that's why these issues will be debated forever, as it's just difficult to say that this person or that person is better when you're discussing the passage of time. As for me, after Rice, Moss and maybe Megatron and T.O., there's probably a dozen or so guys that can be argued about to the cows come home. Personally, I'm not putting Fitz, Harrison, Johnson, Evans, or especially D-Hop, Jefferson, Chase or Hill definitely in front of Smitty (and Colston ain't even in the discussion). Context and all that stuff actually matters. Things like the triple crown matter. 
    • Some of those guys? Yeah honestly you can.  I would 100% take Steve Smith over Larry Fitzgerald, Harrison, even Mike Evans. He is 100% a better player than those guys in his prime. If you look at the numbers Smith is historically under targeted in comparison to his contemporaries. He was only targeted 150 times or more only once in his career. Fitzgerald for example was targeted well above that 9 different seasons. Had Smith played with Peyton, Brady, Greatest Show on Turf, or even with Warner in Arizona he would broken records. His 2008 season was ridiculous accumulating 1400 yards in 13 games on less than 80 receptions. All time he also lost a season due to injury in 04, barely played WR as a rookie. Got robbed of 1k season with Clausen. Thats easily another 1800yds minimum that should have been tacked on to his #s. The only guys I’d say for certain are better than Smith are Rice, Moss, TO, Megatron, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown.
