What should Newton's role be?

[SmootsDaddy89]

Personally, I think 2 or 3. Keeping your #1 pick off of the field entirely his first year is dumb as poo.

[Awesomeness!!]

I think we will see Cam Newton week 1, starting, and beating the Arizona Cardinals.

I want him to sit and learn. But that's what we wanted for Jimmy and look how that ended up. The only players that get to sit for 2-3 years are players who have a veteran in front of them that can win more than 2 games a season.

IF we got a Vet like Garrard (Doubtful) Mcnabb...maybe even a Favre I wouldn't mind, but if we're going into the season with Clausen and Moore, I would let them fight for the job in camp, and start whoever wins, which would be Cam.

Run a 2 QB offense with Clausen and Newton throwing laterals to each other.

this lol

[Cat'sGrowl]

Where's the "Play when he's ready" option?

[SOJA]

where is the: "Let the coaches decide" option

[Kettle]

the last option is always the obvious one

[OnlyPantherFaninMaine]

His role? To bring the Lombardi to Carolina for the first time. The second time. Third, fourth, fifth...

[Doyle]

Gotta go with Newton and Clausen throwing laterals to each other. Unstoppable!!!!

[Mr. Scot]

For the immediate future? Cap wearer / clipboard holder.

I don't care what his role is. Just win!

the only way i'm ok with him starting from day one is if we inflate the offensive line and get the running game dominant like it was in 08 and 09.

i do think preseason games are going to be more important than ever in gauging how far he's come and how ready he is to face game opponents.
