Cam Newton Workout Phenomenal

Just Brandon Mebane isn't going to fix our DL.

Brandon Mebane + Nick Fairley? That would help a lot.

Super duper great guys! We'll hold the other team to 7 points!

But then, lose most of our games because all we can score is 3.

pfft even with Clausen and Davidson we averaged like 12 points a game.

Chud has got to be good for at least another point or two.... so as long as our D can hold people under 14 we're good!!

Rufftown - re: your sig...

You realize, that right now, we don't even have a Rodney Peete equivalent... right?

How do we know how good Clausen actually is? I don't think you can properly evaluate the guy after last season, especially with the offensive minds that we had.

Am I concerned about his ability to throw vertically? Sure. But, I think you need to give the kid time, to see what he can do. Give him a mentor veteran QB, and let him learn some more.

If he sucks this season, fine. That means we'll be in prime position to try and get Andrew Luck next draft, while picking up a stud at DT.

can we stop with the "it's okay if we keep Clausen and lose because we can get luck then" garbage?

don't care who or what luck is, he's not worth two 2-14 seasons and two number one draft picks...

time to move on. sure, we can stick with Clausen this year in camp etc but we better have a fuging plan if he fizzles that is deeper than "draft a QB next year" or this team is in trouble.

Can we also stop the "I don't like a guy because someone else on a message board said he was a one-trick pony, therefore he obviously is, and CLEARLY will suck because he went to the same high school as a bust"?

I'm not saying it will be okay to constantly lose. I'm just saying, if we give Clausen the reigns this year, we will see how good of a QB he actually is.

If he does good, great, we have a future QB.

If he sucks, then there is still a silver-lining.

Not only did Fairley and Jamarcus go to the same High school, but they are FRIENDS!

Actually the article is talking about D-Linemen which included DEs and DTs

If you scroll down, here's the DTs

I understand but when I asked you about the DT's you said one of the top three is a panther. Charles Johnson is a DE. Also it doesn't comfort me that Nick Hayden is that high on the notable DT list.

If the FO thinks Newton can be a starter you have to take him. He has all the potential and physical tools to be elite in this league.

All we can say with certainty is how he did and what was recorded in his debut.

He sucked. Period.

In the history of the NFL, please find me one QB who had rookie numbers like Clausen's, that went on to be just a playoff competent starter (meaning a rating above 85), and you might have a point.

Josh Freeman QB rating: Went from 59 in 2009 to 95 this season.

Jimmy Clausen QB rating: 58 in 2010 so..... i take it 1 point is a gargantuan difference?

Brett Farve had like a 0 qb rating his rookie season and played in 2 games...

troy aikman? :D :leaving:

Jake Dell Home!

hopefully Cam does great at the combine to improve his stock greatly and either we take him #1, or trade down a few spots and take Dareus who in my mind is the 2nd best Defensive player in the draft behind Peterson.
