Cam Newton, QB, AuburnFrom the day he landed on the Big Board for the first time, I've said that Newton's physical skills and underrated ability as a passer could lead him all the way to the top of the draft. In Buffalo, what you have is an ideal foundation for his career. The Bills can keep Ryan Fitzpatrick around and develop Newton at a slower pace. But given Newton's total package of skills and size, and his proven ability as a guy who can adapt, deal with adversity and win, he represents a real possibility to land in the top five.

Oh and a special i told you so to Mr. Scot

So hes good enough to go three but not first. That doesn't make much sense considering the same situation could play out with Clausen as with Fitzpatrick. Not to mention I'd trust Carolinas coaching over the Bill's any day.

Excately!! If the Bills are in need of a QB and should take Cam at #3 then HELLO!!!!!! The Panthers have, if not, a bigger need at QB and there is not much difference between #1 and #3, escp in this draft.

Just because Kiper said it doesn't mean it is going to happen...

i.e. Jimmy Clausen

I know, but if Cam is moving that damn fast up the draft board just after an informal media workout, then some team will feel all tinglely in their jollies where the Panthers could wind up benefiting from it. Remember, once Luck stayed in school this QB class lost it's only bonafied top 3 QB choice. Now it appears one is emerging and what seemingly was a slim-to-none prospect in regards to trading down, now seems to have a little steam to it.

I hope Cam has a moster combine. If so, the team that could benefit the most is us!

So Cam fans, can Kiper be trusted or not? He was Jimmy Clausen's number one fan, something I'm sure you'd be pointing out if he said that Newton would, say, fall out of the first round and be available in the second.

Two diffrences between clausen and newton..Clausen was a loser in college and at best most likely be a good back-up.Cam's a winner and i don't this his "personality" will cause his stock to slide. Number two,Who do you think Has more upside clausen coming out or Newton?

    • I mean it's not even like this was his worst game of the season... I'm not done with him by any means but this feels more the norm for him than the exception:/
    • I'd give it a C mainly because of Brooks.  If we just didn't have a 2nd I'd argue B to B+ tbh. Brooks was a bad gamble, tho one that could still pay off long term. Yes XL only has 400 yards but... Look who is throwing him the ball. And I think he isn't a "true #1" but he's been able to consistently get open. Hands definitely need to be cleaned up.  But he should end the year with 500-600 yards. Like you said - Sanders looks great.  Get him a better QB / more time with a QB and I think he's gonna impress. We added a couple rotational players on D that have both made plays and show promise for the future from later rounds. So I'd say, Brooks really hurts this drafts grade. It'll be interesting to see how it progresses over the next 3 years. I've overall really liked Morgan's FA acquisitions, so...
    • Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.
