That was my reaction to seeing that too. Pretty ridiculous to assign an F+ to any draft that contained a league MVP when it wasn't a slam dunk to take him #1 overall. The rest of that draft did suck though.
 
A lot of us were skeptical that Cam would be a bust but we were in no position to pass on a high ceiling Heisman trophy national championship QB who looks like a DE.

I don’t know how you grade that.
 
Yeah I remember people (not necessarily this board, but maybe here too) getting in a tizzy about Cam skipping some pre-draft community events up in NYC, and how it was a sign of massive character flaws
 
Yep I remember being one of the only one among my panther friends to actually like the pick
 
then ERRBODY got on board once he balled out in his first game against Arizona!

Even this is revisionist history. Shows how much Cam changed the football world's mindset towards mobile QBs.

Which part is revisionist? He was the consensus top QB in the draft after Luck announced he was staying.
 
if you look back at draft grades almost all of them say HUGE bust potential, which isn't exactly a "can't pass on this guy at #1 everyone else would have done it" guy like Luck was.

Not sure I understand.

Luck was a “sure thing.” The Colts let go of one of the all time greats for him.

Cam was a risk but as a team with no QB, we couldn’t afford to pass on him. If we had a Peyton Manning, we wouldn’t have taken Cam.

Nobody had Cam and Luck in the same category. That why we were all pissed at Luck for going back to Stanford.

I don't think any of the doubters anticipated Cam getting a Panther playbook during the few open days before the lockout, heading down to a QB camp in FL, and working his ass off. That put me on #teamCam. I just wish he'd do that again to clean up his mechanics.
 
I mean who else would we tag if not Norwell, who makes no sense with current cap space?
