Panthers owner Richardson puts Cam Newton on the clock

Please explain to me how a tattoo contributes to character evaluation. PLEASE.

Unless you have somehow found a way to post on this site from 1957, then this is the most ridiculous thing I have heard on this board to date.

It's a good read for sure and I can see it's place in the present situation.

Bit it is *is* a piece of fluff. I've written them before and all the signs are there.

Access to Richardson isn't easy to come by, and Sorensen knows that. He's not going to take that rare access and crap all over it.

Let's put it this way. Richardson could have sacrificed a Bald Eagle to Shango right there on his lawn and bathed in it's still-warm blood while completely nude (except for his ceremonial crown of kitten skulls, of course) and Sorensen wouldn't have reported that. Richardson could have ripped a tremendous fart while groping Cam Newton's mother and said, "Damn! Check out the muffins on this one, huh?" But he wouldn't have committed that to the written word.

Sorensen was playing the game here, like all writers must do on occasion. And that's okay.

I just doubt that this article is a completely accurate snapshot of the event. It probably captures the mood or general sentiment to some capacity, and I guess that's what really matters. I would love to have been a fly on the wall, though.

Calm down no one is screaming HE'S A SINNER HE'S A SINNER... it simply states to me that he doesn't follow trends and can hold strong to the things he believes in. In todays hip hop culture it is big to get tattoos all over your body (Wiz Khalifa,Chris Brown,Tyga look them up if you don't know them) this is spreading ALL amongst young America.TO ME it simply shows that either he is a Christian who doesn't believe in tattoos so he's holding onto what he believes in, OR he simply doesn't like them and isn't swayed into being someone he's not by society. No I wouldn't draft someoneone above another over a piercing, but I just feel it gives a more professional/clean look and can say a lot about someones character.

Edit: and if THAT is the most ridiculous thing you've read on this board you DEFINITELY haven't read a lot of what's on here lmfao

What a weird contrast. Either he's a Christian, a member the biggest organization of people who try to sway others into being someone they're not, or he's someone who isn't swayed into being someone he's not. I think I've gone cross-eyed.

My Fav part was Richardson say he was not a choirboy and that he told Shockey to keep the attitude. People dont realize how much of an impact Fox had on this team. Richardson allowed Fox a lot of rope. The choirboy thing was more Fox than Richardson.

I didn't mention character, so don't put words in my mouth. I personally have tattoos, but as the face of a NFL Franchise (QB) I think it's important not to have them, and Mr. Richardson seems to feel the same way.

That quote and the fact he seems to want to respond to the criticism he's getting says a lot to me.

Cam still has a lot to prove, even to me, but he is doing and saying the right things so far, and that's a pretty good start. This transition won't be easy, but there is not one single flaw in his game that can't be improved with hard work and good coaching, so I'm very optimistic.

Everybody here should give the kid a clean slate and the benefit of the doubt. To keep complaining if you didn't want to draft him, is just a waste of time and energy at this point.

    • I like that a lot; Ware from Troy and also Khalil Mack who played at University of Buffalo
    • I remember the Huddle consensus over the course of last season and the previous one. Lots of Bryce is a bust, we should've drafted a 4th slot WR, should've kept Wilks, should've kept an armless Cam, etc etc. So... yea... already thought about that. I wouldn't trust the Huddle to detail my car, let alone run a multi-billion dollar professional sports team. 😛
    • bold prediction, I think Mike Green will be the best pass rusher in this class, and thats even with abdul carter.  He reminds me of demarcus ware, not just in size and prowess, but even coming from a Sunbelt school (Ware from Troy, Green from Marshall).  I think he is passionate about the sport where I think Carter as the physical freak might not have the heart.  Thats the guy Im sold on and am gonna hammer the table for, I know he's not projected 8, but he is projected like 12-13, so if a slide back can happen and we still get the guy I want, I'm 100% on board. All that said, it takes 2 to tango, I think the Cowboys are the tango-er.  IMO theres a VERY good shot that Jeanty is available at 8.  Why does that matter?  Not only do the cowboys NEED a runningback (dak sucks without a run game), but MORE importantly, gee where did Jeanty play in high school.....Frisco TX, literally Dallas Metro.  Soo, RB is a position of need and the best RB and most blue chip draft selection that  could improve the offense immensly played IN dallas metro AND will be in range for them to move up and pick?  Do ya think Jerry Jones is gonna just say no to the Jersey Sales?  Jerry might have sexually assaulted a woman and attempted to prevent black people from going to school, but he's no idiot (he is).  IMO, we get a good enough package, prlly their first and third,  maybe a conditional later and we move to 12.  We get Green, they get Jeanty, everbuddy happy.
