Smith may get that quarterback this year if rookie No. 1 draft pick Cam Newton can materialize into the player the Panthers believe he can be.

Newton has an infectious smile.

He also comes with a little more street credibility than Clausen, a point that can’t be underestimated. For the past several weeks Smith has been working out in Charlotte with Newton, not Clausen. Sure, Clausen has been on the other side of the country, but Newton is a guy Smith may see a little bit of himself in.

“We mesh,” Smith said of his relationship with Newton.

At Smith’s youth football camp in June, he and Newton played touch football with 9- and 10-year-olds for hours. When the kids were out of energy, Smith and Newton were still going. He’s a little shier than Smith, but Newton is as much of a kid as Smith is.

Maybe he’s the one who can help Smith find his smile again.

newton more shy than smith? interesting.

i can see newton having a really positive effect on smith. the guys positive attitude is contagious.

And if you switch it around, I think Smitty is going to have a great effect on Cam too. To be a rookie and shown respect by Smith, he's going to take that pretty seriously and work hard to keep it I think.

Great points! Definitely a symbiotic deal here... This is gonna be an awesome season. And Cam didn't even have to bring him any Cactus Coolers.

clausen just has that face everyone wants to punch no one wonder steve smith didn't practice with him.

Steve has had a hard time not punching non-punchable faces in the past, so I don't blame him for having a hard time being around such a punchable face. :boxing_smiley:

That being said, at the Fan Fest and Caravan Tours (if it's still called that), they should bring Clausen along and have a "face punching" booth, free with pictures after the punch.

      At this point its Sadiq or bust... A

      I have started doing my research on these draft picks and I like this guy. But I'm am iffy on taking a TE in the first if isnt a flat out generational guy more importantly on this team where it's questionable we get the necessary impact out of him. I say if a top defensive guy at their position falls to 19th you jump on it and push this defense to an elite unit. The offense will do their part.

      What to Consider when you Draft in Round 1

      By Growl · Posted

      fans view “box safety” with the same disdain they have when they hear “game manager” QB. but there’s a reason most 1st round safeties are “box safeties”-it’s a much longer list of requisite skills to be a good box safety than it is to be a guy whose only real responsibility is to not get beat over the top. Fans crave the ed reed type and as someone who has never been able to enjoy this franchise having a guy like that, I get the enthusiasm-but I’m not really prepared to spend a first round pick on a free safety. If it happens it’ll be fun, it’ll address a need with a good player and that’s well and good. But those guys end up walking after their first contract because their pedigree usually outpaces what their teams feel like they’re adding to their overall win total.

      BREAKING!!! Panthers signing Packers LT Rasheed Walker

      By Basbear · Posted

      Its criminal that the upcoming season is mainly in the tiny hands of BY.  I still member the time I did a full turn, if you member his first off-season from that Panthers all-time worst team....... Answering questions at his first presser, he goes along the lines " I didn't do nothing, no weight room or throwing" " I needed to get away". I was fully out with him, the guy didn't even try to improve his football mind, body, strength, in the biggest joke of panther football. I could not believe it, what a leader or dare say "point guard"(lols @ NBA point guards as a ref)
