Yeah I agree. I live in Charlotte as well and Cam is definitely the face of Charlotte Sports, as a rookie no less. His immediate impact on this area was insane. Even though they lost more than they won, he certainly has the area excited about the future and how good this team can be if they didn't lose a ton of starters on D last year.

I'm starting to beleive this more & more.

By the end of April we're going to have 2 new QBs. I'm 98% sure of that. Doesn't necessarily mean Rex is gone. Because if we sign Manning and draft say Kirk Cousins then Cousins would not be the back-up right away...even if we was taken high in the 2nd round. Even Tannehill might be not be the back-up from the get go.

Really? Cam was thought of as a 2nd rounder for so long but we can compare.

Passing Accuracy: RG3
Speed: RG3
Vertical Jump (Which means nothing to QBs): RG3
Arm Strength: Cam
Broad Jump (Again means nothing): Cam
Intangibles: RG3

If they were in the same draft I'm pretty sure RG3 would be drafted first.

Fair enough. Though I don't agree that Cam was thought of as a non-1st rounder for any longer than RG3 was

It means nothing unless you do the Tebow jump pass.

[Alvin Walton]

Well, Dan McKlurken now thinks Washington is the front runner to get Peyton Manning.
He is saying it will create a super division within the NFL with a lot of attention on the Manning boys.

Ha! That's excellent! Tebow and TJack: masters of the jump pass!

Didn't Doug Flutie do that first?

All of Flutie's passes were jump passes because he was only 2'6" tall.

Vertical could be an indication of leg strength, which translates into tackle-breakng and staying upright with defenders on you, I guess.

RG3 can probably broad jump farther (he is a track guy), but he screwed up at the combine and got too much vertical height. not that it matters.

And I'm 100% hoping one of them is RG3.

Dream for me would be to get both manning and tannehill; I'd love that. I'm wondering if manning has put any stipulations on teams regarding whether or not they can draft a first round QB. Would seem logical, he wants more weapons and doesn't want to have to look over his shoulder...
