    QB drafting is always a gamble a la Manning or Leaf? Pretty obvious now.

    This board was filled with the same opinions when Young was drafted.

    Personally I like the choice. It gives the franchise a real triggerman plus a strong and fast guy that will have to be played differently. Can you imagine playing Madden with both Vick and Newton on the field together??? sick

    Oh look it's this thread again...

    If a black QB has great stats, he never won the big one with a good team.

    The black QB who did win the big one, well he had crappy stats.

    Newton could be a stud or a bust and none of us can predict that.

    I'm not sure that you can consider this nuts from Carolina's point of view they realistically had nothing in the way of QB why not take a shot?

    he could get the game if he hust dedicates himself to the game and buries himself in the playbook, thats the question here...is he willing to do that. he has a brother in the nfl so he should get some guidance there

    I never use race as a major factor.
