Newton tells Sanders that critics inspire him to succeed

Most of them sound half retarded and the other select few have gone way beyond full retard.

There are 3-4 who are full on Cam supporters but are pretty level headed.

and even they can admit right now he isn't the best player in the draft and that reaching for him is a considerable risk

You don't necessarily take the best player overall with the first pick in the draft, BPA strategies only work once you get out of the top 10-15 picks in the draft and in later rounds. Second, every pick is a risk (some more than others) but playing it safe hasn't exactly gotten us what we wanted.

Thanks Brandon.

He said he likes athletes that play with a chip on their shoulder. Then mentioned athletes that have been bad teammates and selfish human beings and one exception.

Then ended his statement saying at least he'd be exciting.

Seems he should be more worried about winning than excitement and asshole players, but hey, it's his fight not mine.

he made a statement...you made the response = you're the one making it a "fight".

Sensitive much lol? Hilarious you get that outta that

Not sensitive at all...just being a smartass. Us Cam supporters are allowed to do that too.

Hell, I'm not even convinced that they're drafting him, regardless of what the talking heads are saying. I guarantee you that I won't get all bent out of shape no matter what they do. I've got a feeling that you will be though.

I expect the FO has done their homework and will pick who will best help us out, and I support that decision all the way. If he shows he can grasp whatever they have thrown at him so far, then I think he is the pick. If he has struggled, then I have no idea who we are picking.

    • 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.
    • 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.
