This is not a praise Cam thread, just a question.

Does anyone who was dead set before and after the draft that we should have picked someone else still think Cam was the incorrect pick and still wish your guy was a panther? It doesn't mean you are totally sold on Newton if you've changed your mind, just that he is the best thing for our team. Before the draft I did not want him, but as soon as he put on that hat I have supported him because the FO decided he was our guy.

Well I was dead set on taking AJ Green, and either hope the lockout would have earned us another 1st pick or tanking so we could pick up Luck next year, while re-signing Moore to get us through this season and also giving him a second shot. I was actually so ticked over our pick, I didn't even really have any interest in watching Cam in pre-season games.

But I couldn't stay away from the regular season. After Sunday, I'm sold. I still don't think it would have been a bad idea to try and get Luck, especially with how I felt about Cam prior to Sunday, and since I'm in love with traditional pocket passing QBs, but after seeing the guy play, I seriously underestimated him and can wholeheartedly accept a new type of QB.

My situation is weird. I've been an Auburn fan since the beginning of 2004 season. So, as an Auburn fan, I loved Newton. As a Panthers fan, I realized that he may or may not be the right pick for us. I was conflicted because I knew he'd be good, but it was a matter of how good. What were the pros and cons of picking another player over him, that kind of thing. So many glaring holes prior to the draft said we have other needs, but having a solid QB is paramount.

After the preseason, I was sold. After Sunday, I am 100% sure it was the PERFECT pick.

I'm not 100% sold on newton just yet, it's only been one game.

but i like him 5 million times better than jimmy, and I really hope he goes out and plays well consistently. I am cautiously optimistic at the moment. talk to me by week 10 abotu whether or not i am completely sold

Well, by "100% sold," I mean that I am sold that the pick was a good one. I am not letting one game cloud my judgment if he plays terrible the next few games. He has a ton of potential and it showed this past Sunday. I am with you, I am not sold that we have an NFL great on our hands until later in the season. But, if we're judging on this past game...we're damn close!

Like I said its not about being sold on him totally. Was he the right pick for this team?

      Give Legette another season?

      The coaches can't figure out what to do with BY9 much less Leggette

      Give Legette another season?

      By frankw · Posted

      There is a lot of talk about his IQ and his commitment to the game and this and that and no one can firmly say one way or another unless they are with him day to day. Not to mention the standards don't jive with the presented reasoning for defending Bryce Young’s rookie season and subsequent beginning of his sophomore season and third season to where we are now 40+ games as he is finally beginning to string together better QB play. When I think of Legette present day I think back to Ted Ginn being a pretty significant bust with the Dolphins as a 9th overall pick and then coming to Carolina (twice) and still struggling with the same mental errors on the field and Cam Newton going back to him again and again and again and even going to a Super Bowl with him as the #1 WR. Deactivating him is weak. Figure something out to his strengths for the rest of the season and reassess in the offseason.

      No MATTER WHAT HAPPENS TWO WEEKS FROM NOW.... this season is a WIN in my books

      I think the season has been a success.  I try to look back at what I said would be a successful season before week 1 and we have reached that.  The success though has you wanting more haha.  But we've had improvements and are right there fighting.  Bryce has improved which was a big thing we needed.  Hope we improves more obviously.  But I agree with others about Evero, unless we have an offense putting up 30 points a game I don't like this type of defense he has.  No pressure either.  The biggest issues I see with this team are, zero pressure on the QB, soft zones, and the horrible special teams play on kickoffs/return coverage.  So I wouldn't mind replacing Evero if someone better is available and definitely get someone new running special teams.  When you combine Evero's defense and the fact we allow teams such good field position often it's a bad match.  Overall, we have won 8 games which is crazy.
