Matt Maiocco has us taking Newton # 1 overall

[eViL jEsTeR]

I'd be okay with this. I'd be okay with Newton, Fairley, or Green with our first pick

don't want newton at all.

don't mind fairley.

don't want green.

peterson would be my first choice.

if Newton is worth it, he's worth it. i'd bet Shula, Chud, Hurney and possibly even Rivera are going to sit down with him and watch him throw and drop back, get a feel for how he processes information, etc. i hiiiiighly doubt that anybody employed by the Panthers knows right now who they're going to draft at #1.

Clausen has played in pro games and has had moments even if he's not great.

Stick any college kid - Newton, Luck, Gabbert, any of 'em - in the starting lineup of a pro game right now and they'd fold like an accordion.

Regarding Pike, I think we still don't know about him. You just can't reliably judge by last season.

Sheer speculation there. They would prob fair just as well as clausen, some better because of athletisim. Clausen was not given much help last year and was not athletic so he responded accordingly.

they would fail miserably without at least some NFL experience.

people have unrealistic expectations for rookies after Matt Ryan/Joe Flacco and now Bradford. rookie QB's are usually bad, and if we drafted Newton or Gabbert they would more than likely be just as bad as Clausen or any other rookie thrown onto a horrible offense.

[Jaxel]

If the super bowl taught anybody anything yesterday it's that you want the best pure passing pocket QB you can get. Cam is not that.

[SPANKY]

Good point Jaxel.

[ZedLeppelin]

With all the comparisons I've seen between Big Ben and Cam Newton and with Riveras ability to build a top defense wherever he goes we could really be Steelersesque, I think JR just jizzed.

[Mother Grabber]

Arguably the top 5 QBs in today's NFL, in no particular order:

Brady

Manning

Brees

Rodgers

Rivers

All of these QBs are accurate passers, none of them are known for being overly mobile. Definitely not runners, and Manning and Brady are downright slow.

If we take Newton at #1, I will pee on Hurney's head.

[Toker Smurf]

What if.....we draft Newton #1.....Jimmy starts and is as badd as last year.....Jimmy gets injured in say game 4.... Cam comes in and finishes season and looks as bad as Jimmy....

we still take Luck #1 next year?

[The Saltman]

I want pat Peterson. But if we get cam I'm not going to commit suicide like some on this board. We better do some serious damage in fa tho, we have tons of holes on this team. Yes I said tons.

Yep!! If Luck is as good as they say he can be you still do it.
