NFL.COM: Superman Returns

SPARTANBURG, S.C. -- "If you could be any animal for two weeks, which one would you pick?"

Those were the very first words I heard when I stepped onto the practice field at Wofford College this past Friday. The question was posed by a smiling Cam Newton to fellow quarterback Derek Andersonas they warmed up for a sweltering afternoon practice at Carolina Panthers training camp.

If the pressure of a "sophomore slump" is weighing on the reigning NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year, he sure does a great job of disguising it.

Here are five observations on Newton from my visit:

You dont think??? If Detroit didnt have Stafford and we traded Cam for Megatron straight up they would feel as if they were getting a steal. Cam for NO ONE

Anyone who trades an, even, mid level starting QB for a WR - I don't care who it is - is fuging retarded.

For two weeks? I'd be a jellyfish. Just floating in the ocean. That'd be fugging awesome.

Also, yeah, Cam to LaFell will be fun to watch. Almost as fun as floating in currents.

That's fine until you drift into the wrong current and wash up on the beach. First, little Johnny wanders over to prod you with his plastic sand shovel. He gets bored and you figure you're in the clear. Ah, but not so fast my gelatinous friend. Here come a few curious crabs, and they begin to take tentative nibbles of your tender flesh. Once again, you find reason for optimism, as something scares away the crabs. Suddenly, an indistinct shape casts a shadow over your little patch of sand. Your last conscious sensation is that of flight as you rise higher and higher...

Trust me. It would suck to be a jellyfish.

    • The only WR that makes sense in the first is KC Concepcion. He fills multiple roles in the offense and is a PR specialist.
    • That depends upon what happens with receiver this year and what happens with free agency next year. Hopefully we'll be good by addressing receiver this year (regardless of whether we snag one in the first round or not). If we don't and are unlucky enough for to Coker get hurt (and X solidifies his bust status, and JAGs be JAGing), then we may be fùçked! But I assume that Dan Morgan and company will feel compelled to look for answers in free agency and use that to set up the draft just like this offseason.  Reality is not as simple as we drafted this position X times in a row in the first. If you're suggesting that we could draft a position in the first four times in a row, that's not likely. At some point probability has to be taken into account. I mean, how many years in a row can you be unlucky with one position?  As I've said at times before, you try and plan for the long term personnel-wise and cap-wise of course, but things happen so, in a sense, you still must look at each season--each "team" if you will--unto itself each season. So many things can happen between now and then. A major industry can profoundly impact the bigger picture (like this year), someone could offer you a trade proposal that you can't resist, players might not have progressed to your expectations--you know, things like that. Moreover, you have to be aware of the dynamics of each draft class, including the fact that there could be unexpected draft risers and fallers during the college season. That's a lot. As of today, we expect the 2027 draft to have more exclamations than question marks at OT and the QB class and WR group is expected to be exceptionally strong. We'll have a clearer picture of whatever we'll have to focus on next year at this time.  Lastly, keep in mind that there's always more than one way to get you to where you want to go. The yearly puzzle is not static, it's dynamic and complex.   
    • I'm fine with Thieneman or McNeil-Warren.. Rodriguez won't last until 51 so they would have to trade up, he may end up being a late first round selection. Anthony Hill Jr. is more likely to be available. I don't expect defense in the first round now after the murmurings of finding another weapon for Bryce.
