Cam Newton Changing the way the quarterback position is played.

I realize you are trying to make Cam Newton some kind of epic figure in the history of football but in a way you are diminishing him. You make it sound like there are all kinds of guys like him who haven't been given a chance.

Newton's biggest gifts are proving to be his smarts, vision, competiveness, leadership, arm and size. These are not new characterisics but basically the age old blueprints for a QB. The athleticism is a bonus, as he'd have the same potential for greatness without it.

As he continues to advance his classic QB game, and if it really gets to the level we are hoping for, you can garuntee that the running stuff will all but vanish over the next few years.

That's just my opinion.

They don't have to be exactly like Cam Newton. NFL teams that are smart are going to look for ways to capitalize on the evolution of the college offenses. I think Cam has the best of both worlds. He can pass, he is big, strong, and is fast.

But his success is going to cause teams to take a second look at guys like Robert Griffin III and Tahj Boyd and try to figure out a way to utilize those guy's talents at the NFL level.

And we may be the blueprint for that.

If the things we are doing (pistol option, counter options, read options) continue to work their values and draft stock will rise.

Teeray, not sure you would say that since we had all those long PMs a while back.

You know me, we're boys, at least I thought we were

I was kinda boys with TRD too. We just had epic bitch fests that the rest of the Huddle hated. But we had a weird relationship/rivalry and I wish he didn't get himself banned.

If you aren't TRD don't get too worked up. I just like intelligent lively debate.

      Fix Your Franchise: Carolina Panthers

      100% even if rest of team is really talented if they march young out to be qb and he plays like he has for 90% of his starts the panthers have already lost doesnt even matter how good the rest of the team is or isnt and also makes it hard to even tell how good they are.  They need true competition for young this offseason.

      Another renovation to BoA?

      By dave-o · Posted

      It will be awesome to have an improved stadium to lose in I guess....   https://www.yahoo.com/news/panthers-file-rezoning-bank-america-111500840.html     The Carolina Panthers have taken another necessary step toward renovating their home of the present and future. Panthers Stadium, LLC, filed its rezoning site plan with the city of Charlotte on Monday, initiating an important — if mostly technical — step toward renovating Bank of America Stadium. The filings state that the rezoning relates “primarily to technical aspects associated with improvements to Bank of America Stadium,” and that the rezoning is required because “the current stadium zoning is out of date” for the team’s stadium renovation plans.   The planned stadium updates include new seats installed throughout the upper and lower bowls; stadium safety and security enhancements; a reimagined South Lawn Pavilion; upgraded restrooms; exterior enhancements (including LED video boards) and more. Planning for the stadium renovation project will continue through 2025, with construction starting in 2026 and the renovation’s conclusion in 2029, The Observer previously reported.

      In my dream, we somehow luck into a top 2 pick and someone wants a QB bad and doesn’t want anyone else to jump them. Somehow we’ll probably screw up the picks anyway, but it would be nice to do even partially what Chicago did to us. We’d have to lose out, which is a decent possibility unless Tampa is resting. We need Atlanta to stay within a game because Atlanta beat Tampa twice. The rest of the draft slots are who knows because Jax plays the Raiders and then Tennessee and you never know who will rest starters. I think we are top 7 unless we somehow pull out 2 more wins. The 4 win teams have higher SOS and there is only one 5 win team with the same SOS. If we win 1 of 3, we still should stay in top 7. If we lose out and the Jax games work for us, we can easily be top 3.
