There are just too many obstacles period when it comes to trading.
Peter King says that the Panthers just ordered a 4 game box set of Cam Newton's Blinn College tape.
What does this tell me?
It's too damn late to be doing your primary tape study. What it tells me is they've settled on Cam Newton, and now they're trying to get excited about it, and soothe the nerves of everyone in the organization that still has doubts (owner Richardson, general manager Hurney). They've made their choice, and now they're trying to go from having made the choice to getting everyone in the organization absolutely sold.
Should they be? Ask Blinn College Head Coach Ronnie Feldman:

“I heard somebody on the radio the other day talk about his fake smile and how he’s not genuine,” Feldman told King. “That guy is full of [sh-t] with a capital ‘S.’ He doesn’t know Cam!
“I was with him day after day, side by side, for a year,” added Feldman, who served as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach in 2009. “I can’t say enough good things about him. He’s a yes-sir, no-sir kid, 100 percent trustworthy, with a strong passion to compete at anything. What a strong, strong leader.
“The first day here [in the offseason] they were all lifting, going after it hard. When it was over, they all thought it was done. But Cam, who doesn’t even know these guys yet, says, ‘I’m gonna be out there throwing if anyone wants to come.’ Five or six go out. The next day, 10 or 15 are out with him. He comes in and says to me, ‘Coach, you got five or six pass plays from our playbook you could draw up? We’re going out there and we want to run some of our plays.’ I said, “Wooooooo.’ Then, later in the week, I see him out there running the stadium stairs, and a couple days later, he’s got a bunch of guys out there with him. A natural leader, a strong, strong leader. Charismatic.
“And he just played great for us after the first two or three weeks. He was rusty at first. But then he showed he could do whatever he wanted. The last game, our championship game against Fort Scott [Kansas], we’re down [16 points] in the third quarter, and he hurts his shoulder in the first half, and he can’t really throw it in the second half. But he plays the option and brings us back and we win it.”
