[Guest Setfree1012]

(Inspired my Mr. Scot)

QB-Cam Newton

HB-DeAngelo Williams/Jonathan Stewart

FB-Tony Fiametta

WR-David Gettis

WR-Brandon LaFell

TE-Jeremy Shockey

As mentioned previously things change quickly, so tell me how comfortable are you guys with this as our core group of guys in the next few years....

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

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

If nothing else, Cam Newton will open up our running game the same way VY opened up the Titans running game.

I'm hoping we keep DeAngelo around so he can reap the benefits of that.

Agree, Fox/Davidson would have no idea what to do with a guy like Cam.

Assuming Newton is the pick, I will have to see him play to know how I feel about it. He played well against college competition, but once he gets drafted, his play in college is no longer relevant.

No way in hell Cam starts this season for the Panthers.

No coach in his right mind would do that. Waaaaaaayyyy too much work to do.

When/If he catches on however I like the lineup a lot. If he can make the jump he will be a real game changer for sure

[teeray]

Very comfortable

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.

Why draft Cam if he's not gonna start?

[King Taharqa]

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.

I. Love the potential praying D-will is resigned

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.
