Didn't know that one of the requirements of being a rookie was being a leader...

i know i dont think that's a requirement hahaha, like i said to the op, leadership will come in time and maturity, that's one reason Young failed, he didnt mature. i believe Newton will do that eventually. the issues he needs to work on this offseason is on his decision making which he seems to be improving on already.

I served in the armed forces- lots of less gifted 21 and 22 year olds I served with were much more effective leaders than Newton - its the thing that worries me most about him.

go ahead , cover your eyes and flame on homers.

You served with them? So you spent time with them training? You watched them in exercises & possibly in combat? Day in & day out?

Well then I'm sure you saw them get frustrated. If say a O-3 happened to walk by while they were frustrated, would you think that O-3 saying "That soldier needs to work on their leadership skills" based on that brief time of observation was a fair assessment?

He's very emotional, and perhaps needs to better temper that going forward. But his biggest area of improvement is his accuracy and decision making.

He only sulks when HE does something bad on the field, not when the defense screws up...so once he improves his play, his attitude should also improve by extension.

i agree with the above poster. he seems to sulk when he himself is playing bad. it generally only happens when he's throwing picks. i've never seen him sulk on the sidelines when he's playing well but we're struggling. except maybe in the post-game press conference. he'll learn.

So what does it say about our players and coaches if we need a 22 year old rookie to get them to play at anything above the JV level?

Hell, Rivera's sorry ass looked asleep through most of the game. That 4 hour long stare into the middle distance sure motivated me.

As an aside to your dipshit military comment - I'm ex-military as well and you couldn't trust 80% of the young guys to mop a floor the right way.

I don't think I would compare a rookie quarterback with a trained military man (person).

      Panthers OLB Pat Jones II makes bold claim about team's defense

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      It's not impossible to go from worst to first.  We kept Evero because anyone in there right mind knew our defense was destroyed by injuries, not the scheme.  Evero has been given a plethora of talent between free agency and the draft, not to mention getting DB back. I fully expect our defense to be very good.  I have no reason to think Jones would say something like that unless he truly felt like that.

      We would’ve played Florida and lost in the 1st instead of the 3rd round.  Montreal would have been the 8 seed.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      I can't get behind a purely subjective re-draft as a method of defining "top-10 QB" status. That invites bias based on vibes/hypotheticals and can ignore actual on-field performance. You and others have said that Bryce has to be a top-10 QB to justify the pick. That's a high bar, which I'm not against, but we need a clear, consistent way to measure it. When I bring up metrics that Bryce has registered in the top-10 in like BTT%, P2S ratio, catchable deep ball rate, etc... they're waved off as either irrelevant or the expected baseline performance. Meanwhile, volume stats like passing yards or win-loss records, both of which depend heavily on roster talent, health, and coaching, are treated as definitive. That's where the inconsistency kicks in. If no performance metric ever counts in his favor and the answer is always going to be "he should be doing that," then we're not evaluating him... we're just holding him to a curve he can't win against. If this is really about performance standards, then let's define them. But if it's just about confirming prior takes based on height and weight, then let's call it what is it and stop pretending that this is a football analysis discussion.
