If not for the VY drama, would your opinion on Cam Newton be different?

    Yes, VY has tainted my opinion of Cam. Not that I think Cam is the best QB, but he has been put on my "Stay Away from" list because of the similarities with VY. It's funny, because VY had so much more of an accomplished body of work, without any of the drama during college too. Cam makes VY look like a choir boy!!! That's what scares me, along with the Integrity issues coming from his Father which will impact his overall morals. Kinda like VYs drug-head Mom.

    I know you're being sarcastic, but I will address this point anyhow because some people seem to believe it.

    Yes, there have been a couple teams who have won a Super Bowl with substandard QB play. Those teams had defenses that were all-time greats. The Titans don't have anything close to a defense like that.

    You can't build a team with the hope of winning a Super Bowl unless you have an elite QB. It's a one-in-a-thousand chance that you will actually win a championship with a mediocre QB. I'm not willing to wait around for a thousand more seasons.

    The only way to build a team that can contend for a Super Bowl year after year is by acquiring an elite quarterback.

    You really don't care that Warren Moon, a HoF QB says Cam is the real deal? I think it counts for something that Moon is backing Newton. And I honestly think you might want to get ready for this to happen. Rod Smith gave Dinger the okay on drafting Kenny Britt. If Cam is there at 8, don't be surprised if he's a Titan. I'm not in the Cam boat either, but I really think Cam could very well be our next QB.

    Yes. Vince young has made more iffy on drafting cam. If we do draft cam I just hope we committ to sitting him for a year regardless of other circumstances so he will have a full year to learn the nfl process without being thrown into the fire.

    He's his personal mentor, of course he is going to say good things about him.

    Just because a player was great on the field does not mean his advice in personnel is the best.

    Moon bust his butt to get to the NFL, I don't think he'd set the team up for failure. It's his friend (Munchak) he's trying to help here, not Cam.

    I believe that if he's there, we'll take him.... but I'm betting that Buffalo will snag him before we do....
    Plus I personally believe that everyone on this forum is against trading up just to get him...
    He's just not that great to make the Titans give up picks just to get him...
