For the guys who want Newton

Why do you want him?

1: You realize he is raw and has too much potential to pass up

2: You think he is polished and will translate seamlessly into the NFL

3: You think our team needs some excitement and he is an exciting player

4: He's a National Champ and Heisman winner

5: You think he will translate seamlessly to the NFL and has potential to change the position forever

6: We just need ANYONE at QB in the draft because we have the #1 overall pick

That's a bit of a strange response. It's just a question. I wanted to know why people want him. To each his own though

I was J/K I'm still pissed about not understanding your jersey question. I've researched and researched and I've found nothing.

Because our QBs are Clausen and Pike. Maybe Moore gets another chance to choke, underwhelm and disappoint, but we can't count on that until we actually get a Free Agency period.

Best FA options are Billy "the backup" Volek and McNabb's pale shadow.

I mean, we could take a shot at Newton or Gabbert and try to fix ourselves or I guess we could draft Peterson or Dareus and just wildcat all year and hope we don't drive Luck back to school. Again.

His upside.

He's athletic, got NFL QB size and weight, a strong arm.

Also his arm and his ability to throw the deep ball will fit perfectly into the system that Chud is bringing to the Panthers.

He's raw for sure, needs to work on his footwork and route timing and the things all rookie players need to work on. However, he's shown the ability to improve in a short amount of time and that leads me to believe that he has the work ethic to succeed in the NFL at the QB spot.

    • And really, it should be 4 reasons with the last one being that there were ZERO other offensive weapons on that team in 2024, opposing defenses only had to worry about one player all year long and they constantly double and triple teamed him right off the snap all season.  In 2023, we still had Jacob Cowing who had 90 catches that year and was drafted by the 49ers last year, so teams couldn't just send everyone after T-Mac on every passing down.
    • I wonder if the Hornets view Kon and McNeeley more as forwards and plan to ship off Green/Okogie/Smith for center help. I hope they don’t plan to ship off Sexton as I like what he brings to the team. (2) G - Ball, Mann, Simpson (two-way) (3) G - Sexton, Dinwiddie, Connaughton (3) F - Miller, Knueppel, McNeeley, James (two-way) (3) F - Bridges, Williams, Salaun (3) C - Diabate, Kalkbrenner, Plumlee
    • 3 main reasons he was better in 2023 and none of them concern me for his NFL prospects 1. Totally new coaching staff that was a massive downgrade and had god awful play calling and designs, the entire fan base was ready to run the coaching staff out of town a month into their first season and the play caller ended up getting changed because it was so bad. 2. Along with the staff downgrade, his QB played significantly worse after being the Pac 12 Freshman of the Year in 2023.  Constantly missed T-Mac when he was wide open, lost out on a number of TDs and a good amount of yardage, half the time T-Mac still almost made miraculous catches on the bad passes too. 3. He hurt his ankle over the summer and missed all of fall camp only to return to practice a few days before the season started and I think he had to deal with it all season long and was slightly limping at times mid season too, but kept fighting through it to still be a 1st team All American.
