Is Cam Newton hated on by the media?

No. He's not hated. If anything he's loved and/or overrated.

I'd put him around #10-12 right now.

 

I like him, but he doesn't have much in the way of weapons. Before last season he had Steve Smith, this past year he had Benjamin. Olsen is quietly good, but the rest of the receiving core is pretty average. If they get him some weapons in the draft/FA, the Panthers could go back to being 13-3 or whatever they were 2 seasons ago. Their D is solid.

 

He's hated on by over half of the callers on WFNZ sports talk radio in Charlotte. That's fact.

 

I am not exposed to Cam enough either way to vote in this poll. I haven't heard criticism or praise because I just don't hear much either way.

I actually came here to say that I would take Cam all day long over our QB situation the past 5 years. And that I think in a lot of ways Cam is similar to Jameis. Heisman winning QB. Strong arm. Good runner. Hard to bring down. Huge Red flags off the filed coming out of college. But you could make the argument that Cam's red flags were bigger than Jameis's because Cam was actually kicked off of his first college team, Jameis wasn't.

So I guess my whole point is Cam has worked out well for the Panthers which should give everyone on here hope that Jameis can work out too. Cam's matured and they haven't had any issues with him since drafting him. So it is possible. Red flags don't always doom a player to be unsuccessful.

 

You'd be surprise the number of Panther fans that think Anderson can do just as good of a job as Cam.

 

Why should it give us hope that Jaimes can work out? We are not drafting Winston, so I am not sure what you meant by that.

 

So you have insider information?

Don't be so sure about us not taking him, he is the prototype of what Whis looks for on the field. If TB goes with Mariota, don't be surprised if Winston is the pick. We drafted Lewan last year and he had an assault charge pending, and QB is a more important position that LT.
