This was a really good segment. All fo the rookies profiled seem like they have bright futures, although the announcer's foreshadowing on Cam says it all:

"Cam Newton may have rewritten the rookie record books, but he seems destined for greater things. He may soon be the face of the NFL."

I liked the part where he was talking to d-low before the pitch option that he scored on. Great behind the scenes stuff but heck you guys might be right,maybe we should trade up and get rg3 or luck.

Overall it was some good content in the show but we all have seen it before, though it was nice to see. They could have put together a 2 hour special just on cam.

he's not good though i mean he threw all those interceptions in the pro bowl

LOL...Some fans are quite threatened by your QB, aren't they.

Cam throws interceptions and they act like it's the end of the world. Peyton Manning threw 28when he was a rookie and it was barely a blip on the map of conversations.

Welcome to the world of the NFL. Where nothing is ever what it appears to be.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      If we were a solid winning organization most of us would have no problems with this selection. We would have had a capable starter in place to allow him to be eased into the rotation. If were told prior to the draft that he had been completely cleared health wise, we "probably" wouldn't have a ton of reservations about this selection. If we had picked this young man on Day 3 of the draft most of us would have no problems with this selection because we wouldn't have had to use draft capital to move up and get him. Unfortunately, none of the above were true 1)  We were a terrible team in 2023 and needed an immediate impact player. 2)  He was hurt near the the end of the 2023 NCAA season. We traded up to get him even though we knew he wasn't medically cleared to play in 2024. 3) When training camp started we were hearing stories that the knee wasn't ready. That alone should have raised some red flags. I personally would have red-shirted him in 2024 in order to have him ready for 2025. We had Chubba as our lead back and other guys to fill the #2 and #3 spots on the depth chart. There was no need to rush Brooks unto the field in 2024. Here's our draft history in the 2nd round between 2021 and 2024 2021 TMJ 2022 No draft choice. We picked Matt Corall in round 3 (#94) as our only Day 2 pick. 2023 Jonathan Mingo 2024 Jonathon Brooks. We have taken 4 skill players on Day 2 of the draft for the past 4 years who have contributed absolutely nothing to the offensive side of the football. 3 are no longer on the team. Two of them are no longer in the NFL. One  could possibly never start a game due to a knee injury. This type of poor drafting is why this team has been so bad for the entire decade.

      Even limited as he was I still don't think they have replaced his production, and not just the sack stats. The games Clowney missed it was very obvious what his value still was. Risky move but whatever. They only had 32 sacks last year and if that drops then it's going to get ugly. I see the improvement in run stopping but not in pass protect in any way.
