so none of you pro newton idiots talk to me about it. every time you open your mouths about him It makes me hate him all over again. so please, just shut the hell up while I try and look at the bright side of the possibility of us taking newton #1 overall.

irony of ironies being that i created a thread about newton to make sure people wouldn't talk to me about newton... i know... this is more in jest of the stupid newton lovers though. let's see who tries to make fun of me for this without reading my hidden message.

I went through this same process last year with Clausen. It gets easier but the doubt will always be there lolz.

Difference here is this is a #1 overall pick and not a mid second rounder. The consequences of missing on this pick will hurt a lot more than the Clausen pick :(

The bright side to Cam is he will be more of a weapon to use on Madden then Jimmy Clausen.

Actually I was able to use Jimmy pretty good in Madden because his short passing accuracy was pretty good. I just couldn't do play action or throw it deep with him.

Most Newton nut hangers want Newton for 3 basic reason. 1) He was great in college 2) They really want QB #1 overall, don't really care who 3) They go with majority

Fact: Newton is terrible at reading defenses. He will not run away from anyone. You know who is terrible at reading defenses and cannot run away from anyone? Jimmy Clausen! Hurney drafted more than 20 QBs sense he took Panthers GM job... Not a single QB he drafted was any good. People "Hope" Newton will be a beast, reality points in different direction.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
