This is not a praise Cam thread, just a question.

Does anyone who was dead set before and after the draft that we should have picked someone else still think Cam was the incorrect pick and still wish your guy was a panther? It doesn't mean you are totally sold on Newton if you've changed your mind, just that he is the best thing for our team. Before the draft I did not want him, but as soon as he put on that hat I have supported him because the FO decided he was our guy.

Well I was dead set on taking AJ Green, and either hope the lockout would have earned us another 1st pick or tanking so we could pick up Luck next year, while re-signing Moore to get us through this season and also giving him a second shot. I was actually so ticked over our pick, I didn't even really have any interest in watching Cam in pre-season games.

But I couldn't stay away from the regular season. After Sunday, I'm sold. I still don't think it would have been a bad idea to try and get Luck, especially with how I felt about Cam prior to Sunday, and since I'm in love with traditional pocket passing QBs, but after seeing the guy play, I seriously underestimated him and can wholeheartedly accept a new type of QB.

My situation is weird. I've been an Auburn fan since the beginning of 2004 season. So, as an Auburn fan, I loved Newton. As a Panthers fan, I realized that he may or may not be the right pick for us. I was conflicted because I knew he'd be good, but it was a matter of how good. What were the pros and cons of picking another player over him, that kind of thing. So many glaring holes prior to the draft said we have other needs, but having a solid QB is paramount.

After the preseason, I was sold. After Sunday, I am 100% sure it was the PERFECT pick.

I'm not 100% sold on newton just yet, it's only been one game.

but i like him 5 million times better than jimmy, and I really hope he goes out and plays well consistently. I am cautiously optimistic at the moment. talk to me by week 10 abotu whether or not i am completely sold

Well, by "100% sold," I mean that I am sold that the pick was a good one. I am not letting one game cloud my judgment if he plays terrible the next few games. He has a ton of potential and it showed this past Sunday. I am with you, I am not sold that we have an NFL great on our hands until later in the season. But, if we're judging on this past game...we're damn close!

Like I said its not about being sold on him totally. Was he the right pick for this team?

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Tetairoa McMillan.   The last 28 1st overall picks were either a QB, DE, or OT. Seeing as I don't think we'd take an OT in the 1st and give up on Ickey as an LT yet and there doesn't seem to be a clear overall #1 type of QB or DE pick this year, it very well could be a non conventional #1 overall this year, at least in regards from the last almost 3 decades of drafts. If we didn't have Horn, I'd be more open to Hunter as a CB at #1, but we have him so another CB wouldn't be how I'd use a #1 pick.  And as much as I love Legette, if we have SB contending aspirations, I don't think Legette is a #1 on a team like that, but he damn sure is an elite #2 on a team like that.  He's more of the Smith/Higgins/Waddle to Brown/Chase/Hill (in terms of role/impact, not style of play of course). T-Mac is going to be the top ranked WR on every team's board in the end.  He is going to be a true outside #1 WR who is viewed as a consensus Top 5 WR in the game by his second contract in the same way guys like Jefferson and Chase have done.  His height combined with his speed, athleticism, and hands are near impossible to find all in one player, there is a reason his generally used comp is Mike Evans (although as he's not as thick, I personally see him more as an AJ Green). Yes, as an Arizona alum I've admitted to having bias towards the player to begin with.  But he's also someone very widely being put into the Top 5 in mock drafts lately and most of them have him as the first non QB offensive player being taken, so it's not really THAT much of a homer pick on my part anyways. If a QB or DE truly separate themselves as being a can't miss prospect come draft day, I'm open to that discussion, but until then, or if it doesn't happen, T-Mac is my pick 100 times out of 100.
