I wanted us to draft Cam, but I didnt think he'd be this good already. I think DT is a big need for us, but thank God we didnt take Marcell. Teams would probably give up the world if they could go back and redo the draft. Nope, he's our guy. Finally got our QB

I considered cam even when luck was in the draft convo. Although, i would have went luck im glad hurney had the balls to pull the trigger. I think cam might save hurneys job. Its nice to say i told you so to the naysayers, but honestly i didn't see this coming. Get alshon next year and a force at dt and were rollin.

I honestly do not believe anyone knew prior to games on Sunday what we had in Cam Newton other than the coaches and scouting department..

the closer the draft crept up, the better I felt about drafting Cam.

Some of us did. No I didn't know he would put up 400 yards a game but I wanted to start him day 1, thought he would know the playbook much better than people thought, and knew that with his athleticism he can make plays other guys simply can't.

Frankly all the negativity from the supposed experts was the only reason I had any reservations at all. I was a big Newton fan before I even heard anything about Luck.

I would have traded back if the opportunity had presented itself (which I don't think it did) but staying put Cam was my choice. I knew he had something but even I couldn't have predicted just how good he would look. I thought it would be year 2 or 3 before we saw this. In hindsight I wouldn't have taken anything to miss out on him however.

Didn't bother me any. Those so called experts are wrong more often then there right. I think a lot of us saw something special in the kid. I'm just glad for once Hurney and Co didn't hesitate to take him.

      Did someone say "hybrid" player?

      There are a couple of options. One is just to not accept your commission and just pay back the Academy for your education. Alot of money for normal folk, but if you're drafted high enough it's a drop in the bucket. You'll need a waiver not to go in enlisted, but normally drafted players get waivers to join the reserves instead of active duty military. Showing that you can actually go to the NFL from a military academy is much better for recruitment than having one more officer on a ship/sub/aircraft. Things were different in the Staubach and David Robinson days. I remember Mike Wahle just paying back the Academy after getting kicked out for steroids after his junior year. Not a big deal when you're drafted in the 2nd round.

      have 10 dollars riding on the hornets to win the division to pay out 1200, my buddy has multiple bets but one would pay out close to 15k

      Whoever you get has to be able to shoot a 3 for spacing purposes, especially if you want to replace Miles at 4 with Moose and run a different center.    I like the Miles for Giannis trade idea but where do you put him? At center?    Can you imagine a double screen and roll/slip with with Lamelo, Giannis and Kon... 👀   If you do that trade you need another free agent / draft pick to play at 4 that can stretch the floor otherwise I don't think it works.
