There really isn't much risk to Cam Newton.


Awesomeness!!

Recommended Posts

Lets say he sucks. He'll know after a year or two. Its not like Clausen would have gotten us in playoff contention in that time. He'll get on MNF, the Panthers will be a fortune from Jersey and ticket sales, and we'll try it again with someone else. #WEWANTCAM

I really hope that you are intentionally trying to make the most worthless threads on the board. If not, may God have mercy on your soul.

Teams who reach at #1 and invest 50-70 million in a QB that busts are crippled for seasons to come. That is a MAJOR risk.

I'm a Cam supported, but the risk isn't just finding out he sucks... it's the amount of $ we're going to spend taking him with the # 1 overall pick (barring a rookie pay scale) and the players we're going to pass on while we spend that pick on him.

I think Cam is worth the risk, but there's more to it than just finding out he sucks and going in a different direction.

But, but, but in Madden I can dump a 70 million dollar player and not have any repercussions....

The same can be said for any player.

I plan to avoid this board Thursday night. If Cam is selected the haters will cry like we've never seen crying before as they make thread after thread after thread. If Cam is not selected...the haters will make thread after thread after thread laughing at the huggers. The entire first page, no matter who we select, will be filled with inane tomfoolery.

Well I'm kind of banking on a rookie scale. There is no way a new CBA is agreed to without a rookie scale.

Doesn't matter it won't be pro rated nor can it be. There is no CBA in place right now, meaning this draft and the salary structure goes on as it has been. a CBA had to be in place before this draft.

Even then I don't think it mattered because this draft was covered under the old CBA. In fact weren't we all ripping Luck for not coming out because it would be his last chance at a big payday?

Neither will even be able to post as the site will crash...it might actually be quite nice actually.

Its not a risk to waste the #1 overall pick.

We can pick literally ANYONE we want. And if we miss doing that we'll look like fuging idiots.

So, lets take him and make money off his sales, because thats an upside, and still lose football games if he ends up worse that Clausen.

I see your logic. Making less money of a terrible player and losing is much better than taking a great player and winning and making a crapload more money. Makes perfect sense.

    • It appears that he sees things differently than the QB and OC, so Cam's advice is spot on. It isn't about number of targets, it's about quality of targets. Trust and being on the same page. BY doesn't know how to anticipate what XL is doing. And XL doesn't like where BY is placing passes. One on one film study would go a long way. More for BY than XL though. He has to adjust to XL. I really don't think XL can adjust on the fly. 
    • If the team shows improvement, then he shouldn't be in danger of losing his job - even if the record doesn't reflect. This was a very young team (with a lot of new vet starters) that overperformed last season. Somebody's doing something right. Consistency is key with so much youth. And we're potentially looking at new starters at ILB and FS. Those are positions that take time to fully understand the defense. ILB calls the front 7. Safety calls the back 4. Injuries at WR and IOL killed the offense last season. Depth needs to be upgraded. Same with Edge. I think they would have won more games if Pat Jones doesn't go down early. Be smart with the roster and draft. Trade players for assets when it's time to pay them more than they're worth - yes, that includes BY if he doesn't make a pretty big jump. That's one of the many reasons Tillis is as important as anyone to the future of this team.
    • He had heart surgery a while back he looks Fraile I hope he is okay
