Okay cam huggers

[Achilles]

Cam Newton is a gifted athelete and is better right now that Vince Young coming out of the draft. Is he better than Mike Vick was coming out of college? I think so. Now, I think he could also become a bit of a wild card in the offense and split out wide in the wildcat. I don't know if this is even a possibility from Rivera's POV, but at least with Cam you get one of the most unique QBs to ever come out of college. Much much better than The Golden Calf of Bristol, who ran a similar type of system at Florida. He might be the best of the Vick/Young/The Golden Calf of Bristol mold so far.

THe problem I think is his lack of true football intellect in terms of learning plays, making reads, and so forth...he will never be a Brady/Manning type of pocket passer. Now, I'm not saying he's stupid. THe kid is a huge success. But, I watched the Gruden special, and I listened to so called experts discuss it some yesterday. There is a real possibility he's not the most mature athelete in the draft. We just don't know if he's going to be able to step up and become a student of the game. Will he put in the 110% to make sure that his knowledge matches his natural talent.

This was a HUGE risk...but I agree with Gruden when he said that the Panthers had NO CHOICE but to pull the trigger on this pick. FOr better or worse we are now married to Cam Newton.

Either way he better be the TRUTH. They are probably going to push to start the kid, maybe even in week 1. Certainly we could hardly do worse with him in there as it is. In fact we are bound to do better in the short term and long term.

When are they gonna address the OL/DL issues? Cause Cam's success is now dependent upon shoring up those two glaring weaknesses.

It's time to stop saying "huggers" and "haters". He's a Panther now. Let it go.

like that's gonna happen, did we all forget the bdjs(blind delhomme jock sniffer)? we are always going to have gaves who don't like our qb, and those that blindly follow them..

I'm still waiting for Lafell to say "He dat deal."

Its going to be a bigger Vickish version of Pickles. Wait and see. I've got my I told you so ready. Anyone who says.. give Cam more than 1 year to be what he needs to be... what about Clausen. Dont get me wrong I dont like Clausen either, but I am really upset we drafted Newton #1 overall. I will support him, but he doesnt make us better. He makes us worse right now... I've never heard every one of the analysts saying we made an awful decision going with him #1 overall. Im not buying it. Im going to Support him, but I dont like it at all. I hope he does what he has done the last two years to the NFL if we play this year. Lets get to work.

I don't like this attitude... it sucks actually. Basically what you're saying is you're not really gonna root for him 'cause you don't like the pick.

He's a panther, get over it. Cheer for him, or go cheer for the Aints or Falc*nts or something... geesh.

Yeah. I agree. The last time I will use the term hater was last night. GO PANTHERS!

if the future discussions about Cam are anything like the past discussions about Jake.........you'll use that term again. :D

[mwright350]

I don't think at this point you should be able to distinguish between "huggers" and "haters". Those of us who are adults here stopped the Cam hate as soon as he was picked. Once he was a Panther the default frame of mind flipped to, "he's here so I'll support him".

Anyone who doesn't feel that way should rethink a few things.

Hey Action,

Who would you have drafted and why? For God sakes don't say Blaine whatshisface b/c then you'll let me know I wasted all this time asking an idiot a question.

[Seamonk]

I think the term "Jock Sniffer" is used for players currently on our team.

Did you guys hire Vinny Cerrato over the past off-season? Drafting Cam Newton seems very much like something that bug eyed idiot would do. It's sad when list of negatives is much longer than the list of positives from when Draft Analysts were talking about him.

The hilarious thing was. What is the first thing he's going to do? VACATION.

Yeah panther fans, your #1 pick in the NFL is going on vacation. Riveria and Hurney just sealed their fates on this pick.

STFU football players have lives get over it.

I have a feeling he is gonna try to hard and do to much, the only thing he needs to do is hand the ball off, hopefully he can manage that.
