what the hell is the purpose of this stupid generic statement

Because some of you are so unbeleivably venomous in going back and fourth over wanting your guy to be our pick, that you lose sight of the fact that we have the #1 pick, which means we are hopefully going to get the best player in this draft, at whatever position that may be.

I am not in a pro or anti Newton camp. I'll back whoever the people running the Panthers pick, because they know what they are doing better than any of us.

If Cam turns out to be an awesome player, nobody will give a poo who thought he was awesome way back in February and who didn't, that's all.

its funny that this is parodying my thread. In which I gave no indication of being pro or anti-cam. I made a statement that even if Cam was on our team and produces his rookie season the way he most likely would (a la poor man's Josh Freeman's rookie year which was just as bad as Clausen's) the poeple on this board, even the pro-Newton's would be up in arms about how we have to draft Luck number one next year because of our QB having ONE bad year.

A lot of the (smart) people who are "bashing" Newton have said that they understand Newton's appeal and yada yada but feel uneasy about taking him for so and so reason. Many of these same people have said they'll support the decision if the FO makes it happen because we think that if Rivera thinks he can do it, he can do it. Plus Hurney pulls out at least a solid guy out of the first round every year.

Btw by "smart" I mean people who are giving valid reasons and backing them up with reasonable explanations for their anxieties.

If it's true how high on him Rivera is etc, then of course I'd trust our coaches judgment over my own... but if it was up to me, I wouldn't draft him at #1 with what I know now.

If the fellas really belive, after all their study, that Newton is a franchise QB, then they have to take him. I do think, whether the guy is a boom or bust, he's probably worth 5-6 wins in his rookie season alone.

I would be astonished if he was responsible for 5-6 wins his rookie year considering how much ground he has to cover.

Was Vince Young responsible for 5-6 wins every year he started, beginning with his rookie year? I think he probably was, and I also think Cam Newton isn't insane. Look, Newton will create points, and win games. Bank it. I have no idea whether he's a "franchise qb", but he wouldn't be a horrible #1 overall and he'd win games. Alot of them.

Personally, I'd like Peterson with a trade down for a 2, but I wouldn't feel empty if we ended up with Newton at 1.

I guess I should ask, who do you like at 1?

Green or Peterson. Not 100% sure.

I have Newton behind Gabbert. I like Gabbert, but I admit I am a bit of a homer. I understand why people like Newton I just feel like he is a bit of an unknown and still has some question marks relating to his accuracy etc.
