Would you be happy if Cam Newton could become...

[Highlandfire]

The next Steve McNair? Granted Steve did it 4 years in college and granted I don't want to see Cam or any other player end like Steve did, but for years Steve was a damn good QB.

I reference Steve McNair because coming out from a skill set he had some of the knocks on him like Cam does. But Steve really learned to sit in the pocket, take his drops, make his reads and deliver the football.

Time will tell.

I will be happy if Cam proves everyone wrong so we can stop talking about Cam.

[Mr. Scot]

If he did so playing for us, I'd be ecstatic.

If he goes to another team, I won't really give a rip what happens to him except when he plays us.

Exactly sir, I agree completely.

Yes, I would, and McNair is who I think of most when projecting Newton at the next level.

McNair won an MVP award so heck yeah I would be happy. I was actually bummed when we traded down and got Collins instead of MCNair.

You weren't alone in that. And we followed that up in 96 by drafting Tshimanga Biakabutuka over Eddie George.

One of my worst draft memories is an ESPN guy asking Bill Polian "any concerns about his durability" and Polian flatly replying "none" :banghead:

I would be happy if Cam Newton was never mentioned again unless we picked him.

I personally think whomever gets Andy Dalton is going to possibly get the best guy in the draft at QB this year if they develop him. But, if we could get the next McNair out of newton then I don't think anyone would be unhappy.

Let's just hope he doesn't fall one yard short :D

[mav1234]

Is there anyone who would seriously say "No I don't want to draft him!" if they knew he could be as good as Mcnair?

[YoungPanthers89]

errm hell yeah

[BBQ&Beer]

Yes... Barring the whole getting bummed when he has to leave the game so he winds up with a bat poo crazy 20yo mistress thing.

[mountainpantherfan]

Eh, I still see Steve Young when I look at Newton's game and skill set. Personality wise it would be someone else and no one is sure about who that might be and I think that is the reason for all the ? marks.

To me, however, there are a lot of question I have about his game and how they would translate to this new offense Chud is installing. A Steve Young type of QB probably won't be successful in that type of system. So to me that is one of the bigger question marks I have more so than the character concerns.

I think that was understood :lol:
