FYI on the Newton Debate

And I forgot to mention he only played against the best college football players in the country since he was in the SEC and still went straight to win the National Championship with NO receivers worth a dang

(Why we do not need a defensive player)

There is hope: The Panthers actually fielded a playoff-caliber defense in 2010, at least according to the measures we use at ColdHardFootballFacts.com. They were No. 12, for example, in Defensive Passer Rating, our measure of each team's ability to stifle opposing quarterbacks. For some perspective, the 14-2 Patriots were No. 13 in Defensive Passer Rating. The 13-3 Falcons were No. 14 in Defensive Passer Rating.The Panthers were also No. 12 in what we call the Defensive Hog Index, a measure of each team's defensive front. And they were a top 10 unit in run defense, surrendering just 3.94 yards per attempt on the ground last year.

Is our defense better than our offense? yes, but it has a glaring hole at the DT spot and could stand to be stronger at the corner spot opposite Gamble.

As far as offensive picks, a rookie QB may help down the road but does nothing for us right now. Neither does a receiver make sense because we're already young enough (arguably too young) at that position.

The best immediate help available is on the defensive side.
