Cam Newton is a Draft Bust

[teecee]

why is cam's head so big? i'm about to start a steroids witch hunt to bring this guy down.

[d2bets]

He's on a bad team. That will not help.

[mighty maron]

I agree. Did the Panthers feel obligated to draft Cam? I just don't see how he is a #1 pick with all the question marks. I think Locker is the only QB in this draft that might make a decent pro.

I can see Ryan Mallet becoming another Jay Cutler.....is Cutler a decent pro?

[timmyboy34243]

as a buccaneers fan i'm glad he went to carolina, that will keep them f'd up for a while. also in the nfc south atlanta morgaged the farm to move up, good, their f' up will aid the bucs as well. let the saints get older and the bucs take control of the division for years to come.

additionally cleveland now on the clock to make big things happen..............

[Kindred]

he'll be better than vince young and jamarcus russel but he'll still be a bust

[Stallion]

He isn't on the right team to succeed, he will fail and will be traded or released in 4 or 5 years.

Agree...
The Panthers are a LONG way from being competitive.

-----Pretty weak class this year for QB's

That is what I was thinking---bunch of fair starters

[Grass]

I really don't like how flashy this guy is. Hope he does bust.

[VegasPlayer]

Newton will be average at best. He is no Warren Moon, not even close. Dude is all about Daddy chasing the money and looking pretty for the camera.

[jeffdane]

he will make the panthers relevant again. this year if they play.

[kidk]

this guy will be a cade mcnown remember him folks

[goldstein077]

Yea run first QB from college never translate that well to the pros. Even guys that could run like Mcnabb or Rodgers were throw first Qbs in college.

[infamousbacardi]

This guy is 100% bust...anytime a team drafts a QB, and the bottom ticker's "go to" 1st 2 stats are "rushing yards" and "rushing tds" from the previous college season, START ASKING QUESTIONS!! No running QB has ever won the Super Bowl, and the best of the best at being a running QB (Vick) hasn't really been that close either. It may have been the pick the Panthers had to make for their fans and the excitement and selling tickets and all that...but it certainly isn't going to put them any closer to winning a championship than last year.

[jarvol]

I don't get the Panthers drafting Cam. Also don't get the Vikes drafting Ponder or the Titans drafting Locker. These guys are all 2nd rounders at best in my opinion. I still say Ryan Mallet is the best QB in this draft. And is Julio Jones really worth 2 #1s, a #2, and 2 #4s? I guess the Falcons think a WR will help them outscore teams when their D gives up 40.

[konck]

A lot think bust an his track record on passing isnt long enough but I think he may have a little Randal Cunningham in him

[odtw524]

Even if he does do well carolina will still suck

[Foosball Champ]

I don't think that their is bonafide first round QB in this draft. Although I think that there are a couple of guys that may develop into starters down the road. Locker is probably the best of this years crop. I am curious to see how Kapernik will develop, he definitely will get his chances in San Fran.

[Wulfman14]

i am sure that he will be better than that dumb fat jamarcus russell

[MexicanStallion]

It's not too hard to be better than Russel. I'm not sold on him, but who knows. I think it's an uphill battle though being on Carolina.

[CarolinaDaze]

It's not too hard to be better than Russel. I'm not sold on him, but who knows. I think it's an uphill battle though being on Carolina.

Ouch Mex, i definitly didn't like sCAM as a Gamecock fan, but we got gotta roll with him now, theres alot worst out there. We'll take our chances with him.

[cjwatsonfan32]

Somebody gonna let him attempt a pass before you start all this crap?

[stc1709]

we all know hes gonna be a bust

[jcubs55]

No way to tell if he is a bust or a success yet. One thing I do know is that the Bengals had a fantastic first 2 rounds!!!

[patswin]

hard to say yet but i think he will have problems too
time will tell

[doublej95]

Would have been nice if teams could have had the chance to trade players in this years draft. I would have much rather have liked to see Carolina trade for Kolb or even Palmer. Every team was handcuffed in the draft this year.

[ncsubowen]

I don't get the Panthers drafting Cam. Also don't get the Vikes drafting Ponder or the Titans drafting Locker. These guys are all 2nd rounders at best in my opinion.

And the Pats got Mallet

[EmpireMaker]

they should try to run an option package with him it might work pretty well

[crustyme]

he'll be decent (2500yds passing, 700yds rushing) but definately not worth the top pick.

i think gabbert will be the best pro of the bunch.

[Elevated]

I think it's to early to call on his talent.. we'll all see what happens in a few months

[kidk]

I hope hes not in the madden game with crazy ratings because hes going to be a huge bust

[TTA_President]

Pretty big speculation. IMHO

[cjwatsonfan32]

i think all draft prospects are speculation, if you really wanna get literal

[VegasPlayer]

10% of rookies make it. Maybe he's one of the 10%

[shock11]

i'll say its 50/50 if he will be a draft bust
