Could Carolina fall in love with Cam Newton?

[BidsJr]

This dudes draft stock is going to skyrocket in the next few months. My bet is that he challenges for the #1 pick.

Will be real interesting so see how it shakes out. I think he is a much better prospect than Vince Young was. His in the pocket game is much better at this point imho.

Yeah, especially if Newton has a dominant title game I doubt if Luck remains the lone unanimous no-brainer.

This is like comparing Tebow to Sam Bradford.

If he's all that good I don't mind taking him myself.

Re: Could Carolina fall in love with Cam Newton?

A couple months ago... Didn't someone write that the Bills top 2 QB prospects were Luck and Newton. At the time, Newton was thought of as a 2nd/3rd rounder.

The only way Cam Newton gets picked before Luck is if Luck stays at Stanford.

That is an ignorant comparison.

The more I see Newton play the more I like him and think he will make a good pro.

I don't agree. Newton looks more capable at this point in his career than Vick or Young did. The kid is playing himself into top-5 consideration.

I agree.
If he just smashes Oregon and shows some poise in the pocket, i wouldnt mind taking him.

Re: Could Carolina fall in love with Cam Newton?

Well...if he wins the Heisman, and is a QB that can run, there is no way he makes it in the pros.

Does Newton really only remind people of Vick and Young? I am sure the answer I get to that question will be Randall Cunningham... What I really mean is, in terms of how he throws the football, is he similar to any QB's that anybody can think of?

I will refine that a little more, and I mean anybody that has a shred of scouting cred and not one of the "shiny new toy QB" advocates.

Cameron Newton is unique in my opinion, but If you had to compare him to someone, Randall Cunningham is a good comparison.

Newton appears to be more of a physical runner then Vick, Cunningham, or Young and If the Cam is as hard to handle/tackle as Big Ben with good accuracy throwing the ball, the skies the limits.

I could see a team going for Newton over Luck, especially If they have an inexperienced/ suspect O-line. We did a poll here in the zone a few weeks ago and Newton had approx. 17 % of the votes If I remember correctly which may not seem like much, but his stock has been steadily on the rise since then.


Myself personally, Andrew Luck looks to much like Peyton Manning ( the way he takes command of the offense) to take Newton over him, But I would be very excited/ happy If the Bills draft Cam Newton.

bingo... frankly... i would trust Tebow to run an offense more then i'd trust Newton

reasons?

Newton doesn't make any reads at the line
Newton doesn't look off his first target
Newton doesn't go through progressions.


-He's a more accurate thrower then Tebow was... has a better arm as well, but he's running an offense more basic and simple then many high school offenses right now. Newton isn't close to sophisticated enough to play in the pros at this time (Vick was a VASTLY superior college football player and ran a less basic offense at VT, use that as a point of comparison)

Re: Could Carolina fall in love with Cam Newton?

I think we all have to appreciate Newton's play this season, but Andrew Luck is a better all around QB, hands down. If Carolina wants a QB and Luck is there, they won't hesitate to pick him....unless, of course, a good ol' Southern boy puts in a call to the Panther War Room...

lol... not sure about that... but the raiders did take JaMarcus Russell no. 1 overall, and the Chargers did take Ryan Leaf 2nd overall, so it isn't that unreasonable an NFL team will commit team suicide and take Newton no.1
