There was an enormous bandage on Cam Newton's side as he walked through the locker room after Sunday's 24-7 victory against the Detroit Lions. It was in the shape of an X.

"X marks the spot!" joked one Carolina Panthers teammate.

Newton grinned. That teammate was right. A huge target has been on Newton since he got into the league as a flashy No. 1 overall pick in 2011. He's been criticized for his sideline demeanor and scrutinized after a difficult second season in the league.

On Sunday, the target was physical, too. Newton has been limited by a sore ankle and a hairline rib fracture – hence the bandage. He couldn't even play in Week 1 at Tampa, and so he went out onto the field Sunday to face one of the league's best defensive fronts without ever having thrown a meaningful pass to any of his current receivers. Newton is known as a mobile quarterback, but all he could really do against Ndamukong Suh and the Lions was stand in the pocket and throw.

He was fantastic: resilient, efficient and sharp.

What difficult second season?

Yeah, an overall good read, but I have some problems with it, like that comment and this one- ".....  Dave Gettleman, who got deserved heat for letting Smith go." I don't think it was deserved. I think it was smart for the long run. This team is tight now- tighter than it would have been with Smith still around.

 

As for calling Cam underrated, how can you look at his stats and underrate him? I don't get it.

 

... but that GodAwful Yahoo site is choppy as hell.

 

I wouldn't call it choppy. The word I'd use has the same number of letters though, starts with 's' and ends with 'y'.

if anything, it seems very undeserved right now

We all know its because he is here in Carolina.  If he were anywhere else that even resembled a big market we would be bombarded with this kids face.  He is already wining the war though and soon you wont be able to hide his shine and everyone will know who he and we are.

 

GOAT.  It's his destiny and our destiny.  Greatest dynasty of the salary cap era is beginning and in it's infancy.

      0-17. Draft Joey Aguilar

      By PNW_PantherMan · Posted

      It’s hard to find a vet as a legit long term starter.  But it would be easy to improve upon the QB room we have today.  Someone like Sam Howell might be ass but he could have been had for basically nothing.  And he has some NFL level tools

      You Done with Morgan Yet?

      By RumHam · Posted

      My time away from this board has brought to show me just how homeristic and dilusional the major panthers twitter accounts are. They're the cooks going down with the titanic and simply don't know ball.  Everything that Dan Morgan has done since January 22, 2024 has been a home run to them. Legette is the icing on the cake of one of the worst drafts in Panthers history from 2024. Just b/c one guy had a sack today doesn't make this last draft great, either. They took Jonathan Brooks with a known injury in a high round last year and these heads thought that was brilliant. We traded away our most consistent weapon (would have helped both these weeks) b/c we thought a UDFA could do the job of a veteran pro bowler, but then got hurt.  We can't draft so getting a 4th and a 5th for an "aging wide receiver on an expiring contract" means we didn't get anything and the team got worse as if Morgan knew and mailed it in for the season a few days before the start. Hopkins is an aging wide receiver on an expiring contract too. I guess you wouldn't want him either if you wanted to win now? These arm chair GM's continue to push until the next year. It's now been eight years of pushing until the next year. Garbage time stats mean jack poo. The cardinals immediately went back to playing serious and shut this offense down immediately. I don't want to hear about injuries, these are just excuses. Tepper sell the god damn team, you're not going to get anyone to come work for you.
