Against all options, Newton makes most sense for Carolina

[mav1234]

Actually it is until a CBA is reached.

and we can't even sign a guy until the CBA is reached, so it's not like Newton is an upgrade until then anyway since he wouldn't even "officially" be on the team.

[Bj-Monster23]

There are other options for picking up quarterbacks.

Free agency and trade will be options, and there are players who could actually come in and start without having a long adjustment period.

Sheesh. Why do people act like if we don't draft a quarterback, we're not allowed to get a new one any other way? :nonod:

Its not guarnteed we get a Vet at QB. They gotta want to come to Carolina first.

I never said Jimmy did good, I just think your looking with clouded glasses if you think Newton will come in and do a better job than Jimmy.

I think you're looking with clouded glasses if you dont think anybody at this point, and i mean ANYBODY would do better than Jimmy back there. And yes, I 100% beleive Newton would do a million times better than Jimmy out there, and I'm not even particularly a Newton fan.

I'd rather have our current group of Qbs, than anyone on that list, aside from a gimpy, old, Favre (Who, even while sucking, is possibly better than Moore or Clausen at the moment)

Actually it is until a CBA is reached.

We can't do anything until a CBA is reached, including coach the rookies we draft.

[King Taharqa]

not before Andrew Luck declared...

We were gonna take Cam anyway. Can you show me a quote or link from Hurney or JR that we were going to draft Andrew Luck #1 overall without needing to see a combine or go thru an interview process?

[Mr. Scot]

Because we've been down this road. How has that worked out for us? Gap-stop QB? NO THANKS. sick of it. We desperately need a franchise QB to survive in this league, not a Marc Bulger or Hasselbeck. Sure, bring them in and lets see if they can help our drafted franchise QB, I'm all for that.

I agree we need a franchise QB.

Problem is I don't think any of the guys available in the draft are franchise QBs.

:shocked:

didn't you hear the reports the day after JR's presser we would take Luck #1?

... looks like we are well on our way to a superbowl with any of these guys, cant beleive they weren't snatched up before the lockout.

You said it wasn't against the rules when it is. I was yanking your chain. I realize that.

[King Taharqa]

"speculation"

Surely a quote from Hurney or JR saying "we will draft Luck" should be easy to find right?

[Stumpy]

If you are not completely infatuated with this one particular black guy, then you are Super-KKK-Hitler blah blah blah afraid of winning blah blah blah

Fixed

Somebody is gonna take him... would'nt we look awfully silly if he did pan out to be great? Not often that we are in this position, and frankly, I dont wanna be in this position again. That would mean having to endure another season like that which gives me nightmares. You have to take a gamble at some point, we dont have many options.

[PantherDude]

Or we don't feel that Newton is the best path to winning.

The notion that anyone opposed to Newton is happy with losing is easily the stupidest thing posted on this board.

Yep. He is always making up outrageous lies & excuses along with being quite midly racist with wanting a black QB & diss someone who is better in Luck. Sad really the race thing has switch around.
