Panthers owner Richardson puts Cam Newton on the clock

Richardson asked Newton what mattered most - being drafted No. 1, or becoming a Panther.

"No, sir, I want to play for the Carolina Panthers," Newton said.

"You don't want to play in New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, some place like that?" Richardson asked.

"No sir," said Newton. "I would be very happy to come here and make my career here."

Aww shucks, I bet he tells that to all the teams picking number 1! :rolleyes:

To me the handwritten letter really stands out, especially because Richardson has never received a letter from a potential draftee before. I may have had some questions about Cam the player before but I'm glad to see many of them are being answered.

OK the man even made me sign in just to post this c/ I'm so impressed.

That article was GREAT...even if he's just BS'ing and putting on a front he's doing a heck of a job. Some people don't even try to put on a front and if he is, he's going above and beyond IMO.

As stated before it says A LOT about his morals that he doesn't have tattoos (then again I know some people who do horrible things that have neither).

I LOVEEEE the comment about how he didn't just want to be the #1 pick he wanted to be a Panther...do I believe it? HEEECCCKKKK NO... but was it a inspiring to hear...HECK YES (then again IDK why we treat these players like 4 year olds and congratulate them for giving the obvious politically correct answer)

There's a lot to be said for a young athlete not having any tattoos and piercing in this day and age.

As stated before it says A LOT about his morals that he doesn't have tattoos...

What exactly does it say?

I don't ask the question with a particular bias, as I don't have any tattoos or piercings and I'm 33 years old.

But really. What does applied pigment to a person's skin or decorative, quasi-surgical punctures say about a young athlete, or any person's character in general?

    • Yeah the thing about DJ and his production was that he played in a scheme that either rushed 6 or rushed 3. Almost nothing in between.  So he's either 1 on 1 or a free rusher OR he's not rushing at all.  That said, he cost very little compared to Burns with basically the same output. 
    • There's much of nothing coming out this time of year, but here's a vid that I believe that many fans need to internalize because it speaks to expectations for the 2024 season.    There's nothing really new, but I'd like to point out that one of the few things that I personally learned is that D.J. Wonnum's contract is only guaranteed to the tune of 10 percent. The analyst in the vid is a Vikings guy, and he has seen all of  Wonnum's plays. He says that Wonnum disappears for big stretches, and of course, as a Panthers guy, I couldn't help but think of Brian Burns' disappearing act for stretches as well.  To paraphrase and kind of give my two cents, Panthers fans should be somewhat optimistic about all of the potential on offense (but not crazily so), and be somewhat worried about the pass rush and defensive backfield. We're thin at both, but hopefully we can at least be competitive based on the offensive side of the ball. This is not to say that we won't be better on defense, but being so thin at rush and on the back end, we will be lucky to substantially improve.  One more note is that I believe he's somewhat of a Young apologist, as he didn't really mention Bryce's bad play specifically, taking the position that we just don't know what we have in Young based upon the sh¡t show in 2023.  I could argue the point, but what's the point? We'll have to see what Bryce has got when surrounded by much-improved talent and coaching. Check the vid out; it isn't so long, and though there are multiple reasons to be skeptical about the defensive personnel, last year produced a couple of stats that should indicate that Ej knows what he's doing. Like the analyst said, we'll hopefully do for the defense in the 2025 off-season, what we did for the offense this off-season.
    • seems like Necas is acting like a pestilent spoiled brat, we have to sign Drury and this is gumming up the works - also looks like we now have to trade Necas for draft picks or fingers crossed get out of KK's salary
