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.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By woahfraze · Posted

      Why are you so fixated on yards? Even if yards were a good judge of QB play, his low yardage totals in some of those games were partly a function of drops (looking at you Xavier Leggette…).  I’m not advocating that Bryce was elite for the last half of last year, but the eye test certainly supported high level QB play for large stretches. He made a lot of high difficulty, put it on the money/drop in the bucket throws. He converted on 3rd and 4th down, kept drives moving, and put the team in position to win games. And it’s not on him that the defense blew it late after he led game tying drives, Leggette dropped a game winning TD, or Chuba fumbled the ball in OT. We could have finished the season close to .500 with wins against 3 playoff teams including KC and Philly during that stretch largely due to Bryce’s play.    Has he sustained this level of play long enough to deserve an higher ranking? No. But for judging based in that stretch alone, he would. But whether he can perform more consistently at that level or build on that, and thus earns a higher ranking, remains to be seen.

      Totally agree with you, if we had invested in drafting a corner or two I wouldn’t even ponder adding Ramsey. But, to be honest we legit added nobody to our corner room this offseason we have nobody worth developing. Even if Chau Smith Wade is better then what I think, he is the only guy we have invested draft capital into outside of our starters.

      Look at his snap counts, your telling me that his entire college and pro football career every coach he has had has misused him? No offense but I don’t think you understand the role of a slot corner. Mike Jackson is the literal definition of an outside zone corner, he would be totally inept as a slot corner. Ala why he has been an outside corner his entire career.
