If Richardson hits his ceiling, then the Panthers will have their next Newton and times will be good. Then again, Newton was not super accurate coming out, and people had major reservations about Josh Allen coming out of Wyoming. His stellar showing at the NFL combine seemed to mask the fact he is not an accurate passer. Will that be good enough?įrom an upside standpoint, Richardson has everyone’s attention. My concern is I don’t know how close he is to hitting his ceiling. I don’t think being propped up in the Ohio State system is a huge deal. He is every bit the pocket-passing prototype you see coming out. While I do like all four quarterbacks slated to go in the top 10, Stroud is No. 9…Ĭlearly, the safer pick in this exercise is Stroud. For that reason, I tend to like the Panthers’ decision to move up, as opposed to the Bears moving down to No.
The Panthers gave up a lot for this pick and as long as they nail it, nobody is going to care what it cost to do business in-conference with Chicago. It was a bold move for Panthers general manager Scott Fitterer to move up from No. The question is if the team trading up with Arizona will be cool with settling for the third choice of quarterback after what Carolina and Houston decide to do. The next most likely team to trade back has to be the Arizona Cardinals picking at No. I highly doubt anyone will want to trade up to No. I don’t know how much leverage the Panthers have in this situation. NFL rumors: Carolina Panthers torn on C.J. Stroud is the safer pick, but Richardson has the upside of noted Panthers legend Cam Newton. Debating whether they are willing to use the first pick of the draft on Richardson. He completed 63.0 percent of his passes for 3,341 yards, 12 touchdowns and 11 interceptions while rushing for 822 yards and 17 more scores.After speaking with multiple sources this weekend including those close to the team, the Carolina Panthers are targeting two quarterbacks in the draft- CJ Stroud/Ohio St & Anthony Richardson/UF. Newton has played 20 games between the Panthers and New England Patriots over the past two seasons. So to what degree am I willing to do-whether it being the starter or not-if it’s about winning, I’m with it.”
This point forward, I’m not coming back for no 5-12, I can tell you that now. “But if an opportunity presents itself where I don’t necessarily need to play and it’s about winning, yeah, I’m willing to do that too. “Yes, I still do think I can play at a high level,” he stated during 2021 exit interviews. The 2015 NFL Most Valuable Player said as much back in January: Waiting for the right opportunity.Īs Quick notes, Newton will wait out for what he believes is the right opportunity-and not necessarily just the next one. Per source, he turned down at least one deal this past offseason. It’s important to note that he isn’t just sitting around waiting for somebody – anybody- to call. With QB injuries, Cam Newton’s name understandably comes up. As reported by Panthers beat writer Sheena Quick of FOX Sports Radio 1340 AM, Newton was offered a deal this offseason-one he, obviously, did not accept.

So, it seems as though the NFL really isn’t done with Cam Newton after all.ĭespite popular belief, there may still be interest in the former Carolina Panthers quarterback-who remains a free agent four weeks into the 2022 campaign.
