I'm just sayin, it's not like he has a history of run ins with the law. We shouldn't assume he's going to have more because of one incident.

No one is assuming that.

It's also not entirely accurate to say that he hasn't had a history of run ins with the law.

Everybody needs to just get over this already. Cam Newton is a Panther now and he starts with a clean slate as far as I'm concerned. The same goes for all of these draft picks. If some of you are so perfect that you just can't help but judge and complain, then please do it somewhere else and let the rest of us unwashed masses enjoy this draft.

It not a double standard at all. You're comparing stars in the league who you know can make you money to unproven rookies to might not be worth the trouble. If the league knew Ryan Mallet was a future pro bowl QB for sure he'd go number 1 even with a drug problem.

It's about money and how much an owner is willing to overlook in exchange for talent and winning.

Giving someone a second chance is usually done after they admit wrongdoing and express regret. Newton has yet to do either to my knowledge.

Then you haven't been watching. He has admitted to making mistakes while at Florida many, many times, and talked about how his year at Blinn was a gut-check to put his life in order.

I have read enough of your comments to know that you will see this as either not good enough or insincere on his part. It would be much easier for you to just say, "I don't like Cam Newton" than to try to logically discuss his failings.

I would like to see the stats on how many good people did stupid things in high school/college. I only know one person who never did anything illegal as a kid. Not counting the multitudes of "ideal citizens from birth" on this board of course.

A few of our moderators are perfect. They've never done anything bad in their lives and never got in trouble as youngsters. :rolleyes:

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
