You guys got your wish. That was the easy part... getting drafted. Let's see if he can put his money where your mouth has been.

I havent really been opposed to Cam, he just hasnt been my favorite.

I will acknowledge that, if there was a single player in this draft that could possibly turn this franchise around quickly, it's Cam. Do your thing kid!!!!

Cam Newton is NOT going to turn this franchise around 'quickly'.

He has a LOT to learn, our schedule is brutal, and there is less to gain by throwing him in too soon than there is to lose. Clausen was thrown into the starting position too soon and under less than favorable conditions and couldn't pull it off. Cam is an 'investment' that needs to be brought along and not played until ready. Aaron Rogers sat 3 years before taking over and winning a super bowl. If Carolina succumbs to the 'instant gratification era with Newton, he will be a BUST.

It's time to stop saying "huggers" and "haters". He's a Panther now. Let it go.

I wont argue that, I used it to classify all the guys clamoring for Cam just get him, without acknowledging other needs/faults.

He does have the potential to be great, will he? Thats up to him. Looking at other top QB's drafted recently, they have made immediate impacts on their franchises, we could expect him to do the same. I dont think we would have picked him if the staff thought he was a 2 or 3 year project.

I did not think that Cam was the best option due to his vast learning curve, but now that he is drafted.. I am looking forward to all the posibilities that he will open up for our offense. I hope he is everything that our FO thinks he can be. At the very least, panther football will be extremely exciting to watch.

Its going to be a bigger Vickish version of Pickles. Wait and see. I've got my I told you so ready. Anyone who says.. give Cam more than 1 year to be what he needs to be... what about Clausen. Dont get me wrong I dont like Clausen either, but I am really upset we drafted Newton #1 overall. I will support him, but he doesnt make us better. He makes us worse right now... I've never heard every one of the analysts saying we made an awful decision going with him #1 overall. Im not buying it. Im going to Support him, but I dont like it at all. I hope he does what he has done the last two years to the NFL if we play this year. Lets get to work.

      He'd be a huge upgrade for this year, but we're still not going to be contenders with him and I'd rather keep the cap space to roll into next season to spend on a younger player who can be an impact starter for us for the next 3-5 years while we're hoping to contend.

      Because playoff hockey and regular season hockey aren’t the same thing.  It’s a combination of the game intensity being dialed up with loose officiating.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      The last 8 weeks, Nix had 2,022 yards, 21 TDs, 6 INTs on 70% completions While Bryce's last 8 games he had 1,709 yards, 12 TDs (albeit adding 5 more rushing), 3 INTs on 61% completions. I'm not going to pretend I watched those Broncos games to know exactly how Nix actually looked, but in retrospect, his statistics were better.  Hell, in just his final 8 games, Nix had only 5 less TD passes than Bryce has in his 30 game (28 starts) career. And you said he had better WRs than Bryce did, but I'm not even sure that's even true either. Sutton and Thielen might be completely different types of WRs, but I'd say they are pretty equal on effectiveness if not even a slight edge to Thielen (63.6 YPG for Sutton to 61.5 for Thielen).  Then XL and Coker vs Marvin Mims and Devaughn Vale, again, at worst a push, if not lean in our favor there too. Why is it so hard for some Panthers fans to just objectively look at our team/Bryce and be honest with themselves. ? He was significantly improved the final two months of the season from his first season and a half.  But he was still a below average QB during that time, even if he had a few good throws and clutch moments.
