Cam Newton looked “terrible” during his Scouting Combine workout

[USR1]

What I see in Cam is what Tampa sees in Josh Freeman. Jimmy just scares the hell out me as a QB.

Jimmy is kinda short, extremely small hands, and he didn't have a clear mental picture of the routes his recievers were running. I think he can imporve on the mental side of the game, but it might take a long time. A vet is needed.

IMO we have to draft a QB this year. We can sign a vet QB to start for one year and put Cam in next year. But whose to say that the vet won't struggle.

No certainty in football. We're in a terrible postion, so we have to strongly consider any QB who could be our starter for now, and the future.

Ya boy Newton got showed up...period.

Cam is a better project then Jimmy

That's like saying you are the tallest midget or sharpest bowling ball.

I don't think Cam will start for a year or two. I'd like to draft Green, and pick up a vet QB. If we're drafting Cam, keep in mind, we might not see him play as a starter for 2 or more years.

I'd be ok with that, I'd also be ok if he started so he could learn on the fly if need be. I would know going into it that he hasn't run a pro system before so I wouldn't be expecting above average play...

Would I want another QB if he sucked it up his rookie year? I don't think I would be so easy to write it off as I am as Clausen...His "pro-ready" rookie season really soured him for me(I'll admit I didn't like him at the start of the season anyway).

Than, not then.

Clausen isn't nearly the project Cam is for the host of reasons I listed in my earlier reply.

Cam isn't worth the top pick.

Cam has done more in his college football career ( 2 different Championships in 2 years) then any of those QBs that were on the field today.

Agreed but we also didn't give up a #1 overall pick for JC. I like Newton but 1st overall is a bit much if we were in the 8-15 range I wouldn't mind the chance (IE Flacco, Big Ben, Freeman, etc).

Again with this silly argument

[USR1]

Clausen was suppose to be pro ready NOT!!! He came out of a system that we ran and still stunk up the place.

[USR1]

But Flacco, Big Ben and Freeman were all projects coming out of college with the same flaws as Cam
