Schefter Per ESPN Insider: Sources Say Carolina Goes Cam

[Mr. Scot]

Didnt say private workout. Newton was the first private meeting JR had with a prospect. JR hasn't had a private meeting with anyone else yet. Things can change between now and draft time, but this is the way it looks atm.

And there's a lot of time yet.

The only thing certain right now is "the process".

Anything else is just speculation.

[DaCityKats]

its still early but i do feel like they are leaning towards a QB.

[TheRealDeal]

private workout or private meeting with JR?

JR

[Swarly]

I'm speculating right now, but isn't it odd this comes out days before the Bills say they think Cam is their franchise QB?

All I'm saying is if teams think we weren't at all interested in Cam then it would hurt the trade value of the first pick.

I usually trust Schefter and he probably does have legit sources telling him that, but you gotta take it with a grain of salt. At this point I don't think anyone knows who will be drafted #1 overall, including the Panthers.

[Mr. Scot]

It's a reasonable feeling., but it is just a feeling.

And honestly, that's all Schefter has too.

[TheRealDeal]

And I'm sure others will meet with him when they are here too

[Sam Mills Fan]

80-90% of rumors, speculation, and reports on who the Panthers have been leaning towards from credible journalists have been toward Cam Newton since Day 1. This shouldn't surprise anyone. He's been the frontrunner all along. Did you guys ever HONESTLY think we were going to draft Gabbert/Fairley/Peterson/Dareus? None of those are worth #1 picks. #1 picks are franchise changers and you don't find that in defensive tackles, cornerbacks, and mediocre Big 12 quarterbacks.

It's a reasonable feeling., but it is just a feeling.

And honestly, that's all Schefter has too.

i know, you never know with the panthers.

[KaseKlosed]

come on home cam!!! woot woot

So everyone believes Schefter with the playbook test story but not this one huh?

It is funny so many people want to throw out the possibility that we have already decided on him because there are still more steps we have to take... SMH...

If they were moved by Cam so much compared to what they saw in the other draft picks, then they may have decided that was all they needed to see.

[bleys]

Shefter is most def one of the best NFL beat guys there is, but I do believe he is an ESPN yo-boy.

only because a broken clock is right at least twice a day and he has no legit competition...

although if we go Cam, great.

[Hoenheim]

We're all going to have to wait until it gets much closer to draft day to have any concrete information on what are picks are going to be..

[CatMan72]

Watch this:

I have sources that say we're leaning towards Gabbert.

...see how I did that?
