Worse, there’s a vocal segment of the African-American community prepared to emotionally cripple Newton with claims of racism at the first sound of legitimate criticism.

anyone who has listened to the callers to WFNZ 610 can attest to this. So bad at this point that they just hurry through the call.

Its particularly stupid when it goes into bashing Andrew Luck and asking why anyone could ever think Newton isn't better than Luck as a prospect.

I also read a QnA with Cam this morning, the editor obviously struggled trying to correct the grammar and keep the quotes intact. I'm hoping for the best, I really am. I don't want us to be the "durty pussy(-cats)" or whatever the equivalent to the Vick-led Falcons would be.

He smells like Vince Young, looks like a fit JaMarcus Russell and throws the ball as accurately as The Golden Calf of Bristol.

and told to run real fast when he played at Auburn.

:)

Has Whitlock been reading the Huddle forums? In the first few sentences, he's pretty much figured out what people that question the Cam first pick have had to endure.

This column was supposed to be about why Cam Newton isn’t on my draft board.

Yep. I wouldn’t draft the Heisman Trophy winner with the first pick in Round 1 or the last pick in Round 5. He smells like Vince Young, looks like a fit JaMarcus Russell and throws the ball as accurately as The Golden Calf of Bristol.

Whether it's mock drafts, analysis or player breakdowns . . . we have it here.

http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=whitlock/060309 was his take on Vince Young which is referenced in the story.

      You don’t even need 1b because Tepper is the only one foolish enough to wheel that deal.    Player wise? Jake’s elbow. JR and Pep getting sideways, no Carruth, Cam’s shoulder, Luke’s concussions, it would be a long list of stuff. You can take it down to certain plays in games. Fox chasing 2 point conversions in the SB would be on my list. RMJr slipping at the end of that same game was not helpful.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      Ultimately this just amounts to heavy revisionist history. I mean you aren't talking to someone that just popped out the womb a week ago. I was here all throughout the predraft process. The overwhelming majority of the fanbase felt like this was a fine situation and the best situation for a rookie QB to go to compared to Houston for example. The hype for Young and our "rockstar" staff was off the charts. No one could dare speak cautious skepticism of his abilities or they would be neg repped into oblivion. Only after he had one of statistical worst rookie seasons of the last 25 years did we get this narrative now that his rookie season actually shouldn't count. Complete malarkey if you ask me.

      On the field? Since I guess it qualifies as multiple instances it might not count, but have the damn refs throw some flags on illegal hits to Cam's head in SB50. If that doesn't count, 1A. Cotchery caught it 1B. Kasey keeps that kickoff inbounds. Off the field? 1A. Team is sold to anyone but Tepper 1B. We have the patience not to mortgage the franchise on that Bryce trade. Stroudwpuldve been the better pick but he's not worth it either.
