Once we draft Cam, this fanbase will support him right?

Everette Brown?

He was picked 43rd overall in the second I said 1rst round.

Everette Brown?

He may have cost us a future first rounder but was a second rounder. If you count him as a first rounder since we lost that pick last year, then you are judging a guy after what would have been his rookie year (even though he was in the league 2 years). Give him 3 years from when he cost us a first rounder. If by the end of 2012 he still sucks, then you are right.

Everette Brown "was" a 1st round pick. He cost us a 1st round pick. I consider that the same.

Just as Armanti Edwards "was" a 2nd round pick despite the fact he was actually drafted in the 3rd.

I should've prefaced my response with "current" or future 1st rounders.

[ncguy2184]

I understand what your saying but there's really no reason we should doubt hurneys pick in the 1rst round until he screws up. And we wont know that until a few years after tonight.

[g5jamz]

I was doubting Hurney when he made the Jonathan Stewart pick...but he redeemed himself with the Philly trade to get Otah.

Cam Newton: Carolina's felon qb.

What's the point of saying this? A college kid bought a laptop on the cheap that turned out to be stolen. What's the big deal? When I was kid I probably would have done it and so would a lot of people. Does that make me Carolina's Felon fan?

I'm not even a solid Cam supporter and there are a lot of reasons to be skeptical about him on the football field but to say he is Carolina's Felon QB is completely stretching things way beyond the realm of objectivity or fairness.

Everybody isn't as squeaky clean as The Golden Calf of Bristol. As a matter of fact, look at the example of his father set for him by trying to pimp out the QB services of his son. With that type of person for a father, I'm surprised Cam hasn't gotten in more trouble.

[Panthers128]

If he is a panther and you support this team then you have to support cam.

False.

I'll be rooting for Matt Moore to win the job in training camp. If it comes to it I'll even root for Jimmy Clausen to win the job as he at least is a terrible QB with a year of experience as opposed to a terrible QB with no experience.

[Matthias]

I do know one thing, if we end up paying him over 50 million dollars in guranteed money, he better be the starter. I don't care if he has no understanding of the playbook whatsoever, he will go out there and play his butt off.

[ammofan]

Let me put it simply.....I'm buying a Cam jersey maybe this weekend.

[OneBadassCat]

Cam translates well as an NFL TE.

[thenmber2]

I'm not a fan of drafting Cam. But here are the 4 reasons why it'll be good...

-Playing with him on Madden. It'll be fun, I admit.

-The fact that he has a chip on his shoulder from all of his nay-sayers.

-Being in a division with Josh Freeman, Matt Ryan, and Drew Brees.... it would really hard to not want to be better than them when you see them twice a year. I'm trying to see this through Newton's eyes... would you really want to Freeman being better than you???

-It'll put the spotlight on the Panthers. Give the organization some flare.

I'm just trying to be positive here.

[logic1977]

One thing that will be fun to watch for the folks that still resist Cam if we draft him, JR is going to go overboard on making him the face of the franchise.

He alluded to it back in the original presser. Just like in his coach, he wants to Rah Rah types on the players.

So not only will he be drafted, but it will be CAM CAM CAM CAM CAM from the panthers PR machine.

Going to be fun to watch

[Miaoww]

They better.

Or Bant!

That's just ridiculous.

[Lumps]

FOrced to support Delhomme as the only options for years, forced to support a Peppers that was picking his butt for games at a time, forced to support the owner going to extremes and fuging the team out of a year, forced to support Clausen and everything this team did to fug him up, forced to support an AE bullpoo trade that seemed more like a business move, forced to deal with Hurney stupidly messing with future picks, forced to deal with already fuging up a QB #1 overall pick with a prospect who was suppose to put us on the map but instead sunted the new organization initial spurt growth, forced to deal with $6.50 budlight, forced to deal with ugly cheerleader, and fuking gay ass theme song and the worst stadium atmosphere in the NFL.

Yea....my panthers force me to deal with a lot, kind of like a wife, but you love her and will support them no matter what, but Newton? Not a big challenge for fans who have been through worse with the team.

If Newton is picked, welcome aboard bro!
