Spot on here. Weapons aren't what I would call Clemson good, but better than average, and certainly better than anything else Wake has had in the past. No doubt, as @LinvilleGorge mentioned, our defense was not great and Newman had to put up the points for us to win, but still a decent amount of talent. I would love nothing more than the Panthers to have Newman and it truly wouldn't shock me either way if he was a breakout star in the NFL or if he is out of the league in 5 years. It will depend on who drafts him and the weapons around him. If he has to push too hard, like he did when injuries got Wake's best WRs, he will probably struggle once again.

Deacon fan here (obviously by the avatar) and of course, I loved Newman. Great arm, good touch on the deep ball, good decision making when it comes to run vs. pass in Wake's very unique RPO style offense. My only knock on Jamie most of the time was trying to do too much. Many would argue that's because he didn't have a lot of weapons around him but I don't agree with that. Much like Newman, Sage Surratt is going to be a 2nd/3rd round pick more than likely and that was his #1 target. I think Newman has the tools to be a good NFL QB if he can reign in some of his questionable throws. In terms of physical size and measurables, they are all there.
