Yet another national reporter says it looks like Newton is #1 on the Panther board today. I'm sensing a trend.

What, you mean the media tripping over themselves to report that we're taking Newton so they can all write next year about how they called our pick early?

Owner Jerry Richardson still isn't completely sold on Newton, a source with knowledge of the Panthers' draft plans told CBSSports.com. Still, Richardson will likely defer to his personnel staff, and many of them have met with Newton, and like him.

Interesting bit. Didn't JR meet with Newton today?

Hearing a lot of Green, too.

Cam better have put on the charm offensive with Richardson today.

It makes you wonder. This story was posted tonight, likely after he had already met with Newton. I wonder if it's true. If his source is accurate, it sounds like JR doesn't trust Newton, but is willing to let Hurney make the final decision.

Maybe but I would be surprised if this source would have todays meeting details already unless it was someone REALLY deep in the FO. Maybe.

Maybe you're speculating a little bit too much.

It's all speculation at this point... speculation we're taking Newton, speculation JR isn't sold on him.

Narwocki will get to the bottom of it. Maybe he can talk to a rival executive to get our inside scoop again :D

[CarolinaNut]

i don't see how that guy could have already gotten information on newton's visit with JR when more than likely it was newton with JR and maybe hurney & rivera...why would anyone else be in the meeting besides those 3 guys?!?

and you know those aren't his sources.

again, how would anyone know how JR feels? he's not talking to anyone other than hurney and rivera and not a single one of them would be talking to alleged sources about this stuff

[Swarly]

Hurney isn't stupid enough to leak any legitimate information on who we will draft. Everything(pro Newton and anti Newton) is completely speculative and nothing more.

I'm going to post that word for word into every thread on the subject from now on.
