Round 1 Panthers Select: Cam Newton QB

[ncbobcat]

Someone in the chat stated Rivera was talking like Cam could start so...who knows.

Really? Because he and Hurney has stated several times that starting a rookie QB too early hurts them and used Clausen as a prime example. We are not the Steelers or Baltimore with defenses that can keep our team in games while the rookies learn on the fly.

Teeray, you're on a roll!

I suspect a lot of the people complaining today will be singing a different tune a year from now.

He's ours. Let's get behind him. The only haters we should talk about from now on are the fans in Atlanta, New Orleans and Tampa.

Horrible pick. Cam Newton is going to be an absolute bust. Sure he's pretty accurate for a power passer but this guy cannot read NFL defenses. He couldn't even read the Clemson defense and almost cost them that game!

If I was picking for this organization, I would have drafted Scott Tolzien #1 overall because I honestly believe that he will eventually be the best QB to come out of this draft. You can't teach accuracy and QB intelligence.

obvious troll

Epic moment

wait so JR isn't racist? go figure

Wow. Surprised by the pick.

Anyway, Cam is a Panther now, and will root for him to succeed.

Not trolling at all. Cam Newton is terrible and he got bailed out because he could run against the smaller defenses when he couldn't read it properly. In the NFL if he screws up at reading the defense and tries to do that, he'll get the hit stick put on him by Ray Lewis or Patrick Willis.

Like I said.... Would have gone with either Tolzien or Dalton. These are high IQ guys who will be masters at reading NFL defenses.

look on the bright side

1) at least we didn't get Gabbert

2) a division rival ignored their defensive problems and traded like 3 high value picks for a fuging receiver lol

3) Madden will be fun using the Panthers

welcome to the Panthers, Cam. let's hope you can prove me wrong.

Thats what I'm screamin bro. and i was wondering... ya know how madden snatched up the NFL license where they can be the only game to use NFL teams? with the lockout and all and a new deal eventually coming up, will the evil franchise of madden who has no competition be challenged by NFL 2k?? i hope.. the best football games were when these two franchised competed... can anyone tell me whats up??

Lets pick the harvard Qb if we want a high IQ. I want someone who can win and is athletic. Lets be serious few Qbs in the NFL have that high of an IQ.

Newton played in the SEC. The defenses weren't small. Sure he has an adjustment to make but so do any quarterbacks that are taken in the draft.
