To Cam or not to Cam that is the question...

[micnificent28]

I'm pissed to even be discussing this because i bought in to the luck hype. But we still have the number one pick in a still decent qb class. no defensive player or offensive for that matter other than qb is worth taking at one. The one thing JR said that i agree with is we need a face for the franchise. I'm not buying in to this gabbert kid as much as some,i'm not in the market for drafting college losers. I know he had some good seasons but what has he won? If we wanted someone we had good skills and played for a loser school stick with clausen.

locker and mallet clearly have issues....as does any other qb in the draft,but mallet looks like he folds under pressure even when ohio state tried to give him the game. Locker has the tools but i'm not sure he's where he should be at this point. Thus bring us to cam newton. Yes he's the biggest gamble out of all of these choices but he also has the most upside. 6'6 250 big,mobile, and most importantly he's a winner. who ever we pick here is going to be a gamble so,why not go all in. If were going to bomb here let's blow this moth**cker up.

Cam is gonna be a bust. No.

Locker was exposed this year and will be injury prone.

Gabbert is a bum.

Mallett is a statue, he sucks.

[micnificent28]

well if we go by ur post there is no hope.

[kdrh5]

Gabbert is a bum.

How so?

[The NFL Shield At Midfield]

You know there are other quarterbacks in the draft than Cam Newton and Andrew Luck

[panthers55]

Newton will be a great quarterback. He is just not polished and will need a year or two in order to develop. But he will be like Big Ben, with a good running game and lots of support, he will be decent next year and in a year or two will be fine. All this assumes he is willing to do the work and watch film and learn rather than rely on his athletic talent alone.

[BBQ&Beer]

I've always felt it was between Luck & Newton with Luck having the edge due to a pro style system. Now that he's out, Cam, assuming he declares.

[PantherFan52]

I wouldn't go as far as saying Gabbert is a bum....

[Millions]

Josh Freeman with Vick explosiveness sign me up for his bandwagon...

[TheWiz]

I dont know where all this fear about Cam Newton is coming from. 20 Rushing TDs and 28 Passing TDs, (same amount as Andrew Luck)? Andrew Lucks completion percentage is 70%, Cam Newtons is 66%. Cam has almost 4000 all purpose yards. The runaway Heisman trophy winner? He's 6'6, 250. Strongest QB since... ever. His work ethic is totally different than JaMarcus Russell so save the comparisons.

He's a winner like The Golden Calf of Bristol, elusive like Vick, but he can pass like Josh Freeman.

And believe it or not... one of the best things he has going for him is that His Father is in his life as an adviser.... but thats another conversation.

All He needs is a good QB coach... and he'll be fine. Being an athletic QB isnt a negative thing. If we dont pick him up, someone else will... And we will be on the wrong side of history again.

[higgs]

Sure, give us Cam now that we can't have Luck. No matter what happens, I'm not worried. This is still an exciting time for us fans, with the new coaching staff, a very young team with a solid year under its belt, and the #1 pick. Perhaps I'm just numb to the pain at this point.

Minus the big ben part, that sounds like something our FO said about AE before deciding to make him a WR

[Panther53521]

I would say we will never draft Cam. When has this team ever drafted anyone thats had off-field issues?

[MWCarolina]

Cam is gonna be a bust. No. Locker was exposed this year and will be injury prone. Gabbert is a bum. Mallett is a statue, he sucks.

Newton is a project who should sit on the bench for a year, dont draft him. Locker wont be picked as number one overall, but i like him. dont know much on Gabbert, but he's worth a look and Ryan Mallett has the arm, but he's not that mobile.
