Kaepernick- 4 Years, Nevada

Wilson- 4 Years, NCSU-Wisconsin

Luck- 4 Years, Stanford

RG3- 4 Years, Baylor

Dalton- 4 Years, TCU

EJ- 4 Years, FSU

Geno- 4 Years, WVU

 

Cam Newton- 1 year at Florida [doesnt really count], 1 year at Blinn college [title], 1 year at Auburn [title]

 

If you dont think this amounts to anything tangible, i have a bridge for sale. Cam is still growing with his game, and it sucks we havent given him the tools to become the QB we all know he can be.

And if you think about it, the year at Blinn doesnt really qualify because that was to prepare him for the SEC which is supposed to prepare you for the league. He only spent one year in college playing football at a level that can somewhat help you transition into being a pro.

give him an OL.

give him an OC who takes advantages of his strengths and works around his limitations.

give him a HC who trusts his abilities.

give him a GM who builds around him.

give him his confidence back.

give him the ability to just make things happen.

give him a team that doesn't think that losing is ok and just something that happens that you have to get used to.

 

right QB. crappy situation.

So he wasn't ready. Just playing devils advocate....

 

We didnt necessarily draft him with the intentions of playing right away, but he proved to be our best option and an option that had a higher ceiling than anyone playing the position in the entire league.

 

I personally think he was "ready". Sometimes you just gotta get through the rough learning curve before you truly become what the expectations were.

You absolutely draft someone #1 overall with the intentions of them starting right away....

 

When is the 'rough' learning curve over?  We're in year 3 btw

Great point.  Also helps to explain some of the locker room and "maturity" issues.

 

 

I admit I was taken back when the story came out about Cam working out in a seperate room and distancing himself from teammates until Thomas Davis called him out in front of everyone.  Cam has shown great strides this year IMO in that regard, and rather we like to admit it or not, he did have a lot of growing up to do.

True, mentally/experience wise he is behind. As far as talent wise, he isn't behind. Not including his 6'5, 250lb frame. Also, he didnt run a pro style offense like some others. But like he said when he came in the league, "Just because I haven't done it, doesn't mean I can't." Which is very true.

Also, to answer csx:

He was ready to play QB at an NFL level. (Hince his insane production/stats; team wins don't count as it takes a whole team to win or lose). We seen his ceiling and pulled the trigger. I believe he has a higher ceiling than any of them.

Also, other young QBs benifited from things like weak schedule (Luck), 1,000+ yards rushing (RG3/Wilson/maybe Kaep), coach/weapons (Kaep/Wilson). Not taking anything from them, but replace them with Cam and you would have got same result or better.

      Updated 2025 draft order

      By Champagnepapi704 · Posted

      The qb position has been eliminated due to the low probability of the success of selecting one early.  This part got me hollering the most "You can't get so hyperfocused on one position(even the most important position in football like QB) that you just draft a QB and any QB. This leads to wasted draft picks and years of torment as you are stuck in a development cycle for nothing." " "Also, if we don't get our franchise QB this draft....oh well. We got the next dozen or so drafts to keep taking cracks at it."

      Then be prepared to draft a QB the next year. When the best one would surely not play here. Then what?   This fanbase keeps preaching patience, while other bottom feeders are finding their QB's. Panthers fans are becoming blind. The losing has caught up to the fanbase. We preaching patience when we have been a bad franchise ever since Tepper took over.   But because you don't like Sanders or Ward we should pass on a QB. Then when they become franchise changers you feel bad.   Everyone knows this franchise will continue to suck until they get a franchise QB. Chasing LBs and DEs isn't helping us. We can address the defense after we get the QB.   Cmon Hepcat don't let the blind lead you they blind for a reason!

      Bryce Young is HIM.

      Imagine posting on a forum to mock people for posting on a forum. Whether you realize it or not you just played yourself. LOL  Guess what? We've heard people like you lecture people with opinions about how *insert former Panthers front office or coach moron* knows best and we're all just idiots. This forum exists to discuss Panthers football and that includes *GASP* sharing opinions that may be contrary to what the Panthers end up doing.  If you just want a circle jerk of an echo chamber reassuring you that everything the Panthers do is brilliant despite the abysmal record on the field, I think they made a Discord group for that.
