Cam Newton Public Workout

[monstercat]

I just want to see what TRD has to say if the Panthers end up taking Newton, and that is not nearly as far fetched as some of you think. There have been QB's taken at #1 with far less star potential than Cam Newton, that's for damn sure.

I will say we made a mistake now let's move on and see if he can improve. It would also show me that we are in complete rebuilding mode and the team isn't determined to win this year, which is very possible despite what most people think.

What do you say if we take Gabbert?

What do you say if we take Newton and Moore starts opening day?

Over Newton?

What do you say if we take Newton and Moore starts opening day?

I'd start a day count until Newton starts because Moore got sacked to fug and was out on IR again.

There's a very real possibility Gabbert goes before Newton this draft.

Either way, I don't want a rookie QB starting opening week unless they completely wow Rivera in camp. I'd much rather have them be eased into the system.

I guess I should have asked, what will TRD say when Cam proves him wrong?

People act like Newton is the clear and away favorite as the best QB in this draft. He's 2/3 and mostly because Mallet is immobile and has more character concerns than Newton or he could be looking at 4th.

Prove what wrong? Proves that he doesn't need to improve his skills and proves that he only needs to be athletic?

Unless he comes in and is amazing day one he won't prove anything wrong because I've said all he needs is polish and he'll be fine. So if in 2-3 years he's a decent QB that doesn't mean anything.

You guys really do have a hard time with critique and hate.

there's no guarantee about Newton.. if the scouting department and coaches don't draft him, chances are they didn't think he was going to be legit, or too much of a chance...

I'll certainly understand their opinion more considering all the QBs with huge upside/potential that flop..

That's a lot different tone than you had in earlier posts. Why the change?

[CarolinaKat]

meh. still a great QB and his decision had nothing to do with the panthers, but go ahead and hate on if it makes you feel better about the world.

I do feel a little bit better

How is that a change? I don't think I've changed once. He's a project. He has a ton of work to do. I never said he can't do it. There are a ton of questions about him, both on and off the field, whether you think so or not. If you were giving him 30-40 mil, you would think they were.

My tone hasn't changed one bit. I have him as the third QB in this draft, as do some others. I think he has more work to do to be an NFL QB than the other QBs do.

Both have a high risk/reward. Newton is more talented of the two that for sure.

At this point I can see us picks Gabbert up just as much as us picking Mallet up. Then I can see us picking Mallet up just as much a Newton. I really cant say I would pick Peterson over Fairly or Fairly over Peterson. Really there is not a single pick that just screams IM NOT A BUST.

He'll just change his handle like alot of other posters. Alot of people on this site have backed themselves into a corner being absolute sure what this guy or that guy is gonna do on the next level. People are emphatic and passionate about guys not producing as NFL QBs. I dont think those people are gonna be willing to stick around and catch hell for being so wrong for the next year or so. Their cred will be shot, so I imagine some will stop posting, others will change their handles, few will admit they were wrong and baseless.

Will you do the same if he busts or will you just blame it on everyone else?
