With Rivera/Chud factored in? I would feel okay....

Considering what Fox/Davidson where able to do in 08 and parts of 09.

I think it's unrealistic to think that even assuming the Panthers will take Newton, he will start in the 2011 season.

Even with Newton on the roster, the Panthers will almost certainly have to find someone in either a trade or free agency to start ahead of him for at least one or two seasons while he learns the offense.

Newton, just like any player in a skill position fresh out of college will be a project of sorts. This is only compounded by Newton's lack of experience with a pro-style offense.

Even with his undeniable athletic prowess, the quickest way to lose your first round pick (again, assuming it's Newton) to a potentially career ending injury will be to stick him, a confused kid, out there and let him get destroyed by those monsters. It's a miracle that Jimmy Clausen isn't freakin' dead and he had a leg up by coming from a pro-style offense.

Jimmy Clausen (a 2nd round pick) started 10 games as a rookie for us last season. Cam Newton (our 1st round pick) will start games as a rookie for us.

jimmy clausen started 10 games because no one else could stay healthy.

sooner or later people will come to grips with the fact that it was never carolina's intent for clausen to see the field...despite the drama the media cooked up over the offseason.

Thats true he was kind of forced in. But he was so called pro ready.

But you cant tell me they then want to see what Clausen had in him.

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Pretty sure that a QB contract payday is all the competition any QB in this league needs, I don't think a competent backup is going to make them play any harder when the current situation wouldn't warrant the contract extension yet anyways. Your opening point in this post is also the problem, "Bryce has shown signs of improving", but that's still all he's shown, and he's only showing that because of just how bad he was to start his career. If he played like last season from the beginning and never improved one bit, then I actually think more fans would be ready to move on from him, which is what's weird.  It's like going from one of the biggest draft busts of all time into the 25th best QB in the league over 3 years means he deserves a long term $40+ million a year contract extension. Improvement shouldn't be the goal when the result of said improvement is still bottom of the league levels.

      Time to Sign David Njoku

      Yeah, but we've seen him do it. Just not often. I think that's the reason for the taller WRs. Would likely be a problem finding someone like Jimmy Horn in the mess.

      And the Rams, Seattle, Patriots, Green Bay, Jaguars and the Bills who all made the playoffs and in case you forgot, Seattle and the Patriots played in the SB. By any measure, that's pretty brutal.
