Seven of the 10 executives said Newton was currently a top 10 quarterback in the NFL. Each of those seven executives spoke glowingly about Newton's talent level. One AFC executive mentioned his "ability to take over a game with both his arm and his legs" while another AFC executive credited Newton's "passion for the game and poise under pressure" as reasons why he has already attained top 10 status. An executive of a team that played Newton last season mentioned how difficult it was for his team to "get that big guy on the ground." Despite all this praise, however, none of these seven men ranked Newton as a top five quarterback heading into the 2012 season.

I am not sure why we feel the need to validate his abilities by using the thoughts of others over and over.

Can't anyone be confident in what is right in front of them?

I despised the Delhomme tenure but was he so bad that we have to trust the opinions of others above our own now? Did faith in Jake burn the psyche of Jake fans THAT badly?

maybe so.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
