Cam Newton knows what he wants to hear when the 2011 NFL Draft begins Thursday night in New York. His name.

"I want to go number one," the Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback told Deion Sanders in an interview that will be shown as part of NFL Network predraft coverage Thursday. "I mean, I ain't gonna sit up here and lie to you."

People who've seen my posts over the past 7 years know I put a premium on athletes who play with a "chip on their shoulder". Barry Bonds, Steve Smith, Vince Young, Tom Brady, LeBron James, etc. I feel that Cam has that quality and it will make him an exciting player for us.

Looking forward to watching this segment tonight.

Keep saying over and over like Kobe his confidence/will to win is portrayed as being cocky/arrogant I see no problem with it. It's something I want a leader to have rather than just wanting to settle for average and not believing in himself.

To me that shows he isn't the guy. The true greats are motivated without any extra help. This kid needs to prove people wrong to get motivated? Pass on him

LOL, Cam Newton could cure cancer and you'd find a way to knock him for it.

Highlandfire: "Well, why didn't he cure it sooner?"

JaMarcus Russell said the same type of things.

Saying you want to be great and actually going out and doing what it takes are two things.

This is not a debate about whether Cam will or will not be great.....just that a player saying these things in beyond meaningless.

There was this guy named Michael Jordan. He was an o.k. basketball player. He used negative things people said to motivate him. When they stopped saying negative things he made them up.

yeah, who would want a Tom Brady or Steve Smith motivating themselves b/c of their experiences of people not believing in them. good point.

Russell was never great prior to the pros. The proof is in the pudding. Cam has been great.

      Man whether it's the Panthers or the Hornets it's crazy how many foolish talking heads there are in the local media. I just unsubscribed from locked on Hornets. Doug Branson with his cheesy mustache is an absolute clown especially when his partner isn't on. Talking about trading LaMelo because he can't win basketball games by himself with no semblance whatsoever of a legitimate Center. These YouTube personalities will say anything for a damn click.

      Dream big: Imagine this future and tell me how you feel

      I’m hoping for that exact same scenario, two seconds would be big for us. I’d hope for 3 impact players. A WR/DL/DE that can contribute like this current class would be key to our rebuild.

      Forget about Bryce, Dave Canales is who we should be talking about.

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      When I look at what I can find, a carryover problem from last season is our receivers are still unable to get enough separation on a consistent basis. Canales is certainly better at scheming them open, like how he sneaked out Thielen for a big play. But then he's also having Thielen running routes he frankly shouldn't be doing anymore. I feel part of the RZ issues is not really having anyone - after trading Diontae - who can make those quick cuts on a short field to give whoever is under center a wider window to throw. We also only have one guy with blazing speed in Thompkins and from what I could see, he's really used more to draw away coverage. I bring this all up because what Canales needs for sustained success - other than QB - is the other receiver pieces we'll be getting in the offseason.  Otherwise, I have to say that Canales isn't as afraid to be aggressive offensively. As others mentioned, still doesn't run the ball enough at times. Finally, I still feel his playcalls still doesn't line up with his mantra of getting rid of the ball within x amount of seconds. Maybe I count too slow. Oh, and I'm glad Canales first game after a bye looked good. I feared he'd be like Ron Rivera where we would fall flat on our faces.
