If the Panthers draft Cam, it is clear they do not agree with your 3 year time frame.

I see him getting snaps early this year, and becoming the starter sometime after mid-season.

Who knows what Smith would think of that scenario?

Smith is going to think the same thing he thought last year. Another year wasted in one of the precious few I have left.

I agree

.

No team is going to draft a QB #1 overall and put him on a 3 yr plan to see the field.

No team is going to draft a QB in the 1st round and put him on the 3 yr plan if they don't have a Pro Bowl caliber QB starting.

yep yep, but the reality is that Cam, if he lives up to what he should be, is going to take until his 3rd year before he at least is ready for reading defenses without second guessing and so and so forth (dont want to go down the check list but you follow what im saying).

Cam may be closer to reaching his potential in year 3....but he will ready to see the field before then.

Look at The Golden Calf of Bristol this year in his starts and action.....people said it would be years before he could attempt to function as a QB. In his starts he was just as effective as any rookie that played

Hypothetically, if drafting Cam meant Smitty stays and drafting Dareus means he leaves, I may have to sway towards Cam. If Smitty leaves I will have gone from 10 wearable jerseys at 1 point to just 1. Beason alternate with captain patch is still pretty cool though, I just don't want to have to buy another damn jersey right now.

sorry if I wasnt clear about this, BJ, but Im not making statements based on what I think should happen or what I want to happen. Im simply saying that, the vets who play for the Panthers, likely dont want Newton since it will take him awhile to mature as a player. Now Lafell and Gettis I could see wanting Newton, but not the vets.

That could be true.

Have we even had him in for a visit? If you want to replace Smith you don't bring in a rookie, you bring in free agent veteran. With Smith's 7 million to play with, you can get somebody better than a rookie.

No, but we went to a private workout-as I understand it.

I think by midseason he will know enough to play in this league. Will he have mastered the offense or become proficient at reading defenses? No. But there are a lot of quarterbacks starting in this league who are still in that learning curve. Put any of the Qbs drafted in the past 3 years in that category. The difference is that Newton will be able to use his physical skills to make a play or extricate himself out of trouble some of the time. Much like Roethlisburger can shuck off a blitzer and buy time. Guys like Clausen can't do that.

Clearly understand but he will see the field before year 3. He might even see it this year the reason why is because nothing is better then game expierence. I know some people say well its to early to throw them out there they would get killed and all of the above. But you have to look at it as sometimes people have it in them. For example this is what I mean David carr was good in college but he wasnt never going to be great the same for Russell he could of been good in the league but the truth that matter is he didnt want to they didnt have it in them to be good. You cant really say a player will bust or not. People are already saying Cam will bust before he even get in the league just look at the NFL poll on NFL.com. If anything that should motoivate him to be great it should be doubts about him witch is what he said in the Gruden QB camp remember the gun analogy. I completely trust the Panthers with this situation we are not a bad team that people think we are. We have a good o-line when healthy we have two studs at running back and we have some decent wideouts if smitty is not with us. If they feel this guy can help make us a better team on the offensive side of the ball they should pull the trigger. I know there is jobs on the line and everything but sometimes you gotta take that chance only if you feel he could help the team out the best.

Here is something from a couple of my friends.

Cam Pocket Passing:

Cam Deep Throws:

Cam Running Skills:

Thanks to Sec9er..

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      I'd rather get a vet to fill XL's spot for a chain mover and give Jimmy Horn more reps since he's basically our Ted Ginn speed guy. T-Mac and Coker are locked in as the top 2. They honestly fuged up giving XL the start over Moore in the playoff game

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By strato · Posted

      I have been looking for a dropped pass list and all that comes up is QBs. And team stats. When I do receivers I get the passing stats for a handful that threw passes this year.    I wanted to be accurate but anyhow I was looking because thought I remembered reading where T Mac had more drops than XL this year.  One of you many smarter than me people here,I would appreciate it if you know how to pull that up, please do. Thank you.    And yeah I know that isn’t all there is to it I just thought it was interesting.  Of course what the hell is a drop lol.

      I agree with this and I think it's worth mentioning too that Bryce is not consistent on his placement and especially velocity and that in large part is driven by his footwork. We all know XL doesn't have the best hands and I don't know that he can overcome that. Cam always had the heater that just hit your hands and sank into your grip, where Bryce has some that are harder thrown, some soft. Bryce stepping into a pass looks so much different than that hop throw thing he does. I think XL really needs to hit the jugs machine and start learning how to catch all these different touch passes. TMac and Coker don't have these issues. If XL doesn't get some work in he's going to be out of the league in the next couple of years.
