Well again my buddy believes that most fans want Cam. According to what he's been hearing is that the coaching staff really likes both QBs.
Just for the record: I was the first person - who I'm aware of - that suggested Newton to Carolina wouldn't be all that crazy.
Just for the record. And the gold star.
Anyway, I think if you're going to go QB at that spot, the guy has to have better production than Gabbert did. System this or that, Newton has ACED every test (he hasn't cheated on - jk jk) placed before him.
Gonna have to show a date on this one. Even before I did any research on Cam Newton, we're talking what had to be three or four motnhs ago, I wrote a big long post talking about how I am not looking forward to Draft season getting all hot and heavy because of how much controversy there is embedded in Cam Newton as a Draft prospect, given his legal history and what kind of player he is. And in that post I mentioned that he's probably going to get discussed in the mix for #1 overall.
And then of course, two months ago is when we wrote our Cam Newton piece for Dave Hyde's blog, and in that piece I wrote multiple times that we believe Cam Newton could and should go #1 overall to the Carolina Panthers.
Give me a second. It was soon after Luck decided to go back to school, and I asked if it'd be that crazy if Newton went #1 since Carolina was considering Cam, and you said something to the extent of: "Yeah, it'd be pretty crazy."
I'll find it.
I'm really just messing around, but it did happen.
If the Panthers were definitely going to take Luck, would it be shocking to see them take Newton if he impresses? I don't think so. Luck is the goods, but I really think Newton is too.
I think it would be a little shocking, yeah.
