From Albert Breer on NFL.com...
 

 

"Over the last 10 weeks, we're seeing Cam maturing, and doing things in other ways to contribute and improve," Rivera said as he headed out to the final practice of the spring last Thursday. "It got to the point where Cam was installing things. He led the meetings. He was sitting with the receivers, the tight ends and helping them, not just standing next to (offensive coordinator Mike Shula). You see stuff now you didn't see before."

 

Cam Newton's growth has Carolina Panthers high on QB's future

 

 

Pretty good read. 

 

(Breer is one of the better writers on NFL.com, in my opinion)

a healthy JStew, beefed up guard play, fresh talent at WR, Cam with more experience and a fixed ankle, that new offensive assistant coach....all this could point to big strides for the offense

biggest question mark will obviously be the left tackle position

And if gettleman turns out to be right about our OTs, look the fug out!

NO KIDDING!!!!   The interior part of the line is going to be awesome.  Those tackles shape up.  We could be ready for the next step. 

 

The first year or two Cam was so used to winning he didn't know how to handle losing.  Now he has been through three solid seasons.   He knows he isn't going to get a Auburn vs Western Kentucky game.  EVER.   The only way you win is being the best at your job.  I think Cam's confidence is high and he will be in the discussion for OPOY.

I hate to beat a dead horse, but the most annoying part about Cam improving is all the back handed compliments that sportswriters throw his way in comparison to his rookie year. 

 

He's maturing like any other QB would and the biggest difference is we're winning games.

I'm not sure what was 'backhanded' about this article.

      this     I never cease to be amazed at the number of people who will run up their blood pressure to get to the grocery store 30 seconds faster or are racing to get to work like it won’t be there at 8:02.   The only thing I’ve ever done that I think added more years to my life besides quitting smoking, was to learn to go with the flow behind the wheel.

      The term you're looking for is "malinger(ed)", and he didn't.  I'm not sure why Panthers fans act like jaded ex girlfriends.  The dude is clearly injury prone as his time in San Fransico also proves. It's not like he got to San Fran and stopped having problems.

      My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again.
