Panthers Coach Ron Rivera hopes to get one good series out of quarterback Cam Newton tonight against Buffalo in his preseason debut of Norv Turner's offense. Then the goal is to get Garrett Gilbert in with the first team to see where he stands as he battles Taylor Heinicke for the backup job that has been Derek Anderson's since Newton entered the league in 2011.

Kyle Allen isn't mentioned as being in the mix, but it's worth noting that Heineke was an interception machine in practice recently.

I can't remember who I was talking to that told me Heineke was the one to watch. 

Heineke did nothing the 4 days I was at TC to make me think he even has a shot at the 53 man roster.

I'll be shocked of Cam plays more than one series. I won't be surprised if he hardly throws a pass. Maybe a screen or a check down or two. Call it a night.

That's what I'd do.

Might be what Rivera does. We'll see soon enough.

      Sorsby and the supplemental draft

      I read that Pittsburgh is a possibility.  I think of college QB studs who had some form of mental quirk yet tons of talent--but their issue made being a team leader difficult and it led to their demise--going back:  Jamarcus Russell, Art Schlichter, Jeff George, etc. I think people forget that the QB must not only have talent, but they must lead.

      I wish I knew more details, but the NIL money to 20-year olds combined with easy access to gambling sites is a side effect that these kids may not have considered.  To your point,A famous 2009 Sports Illustrated article titled “How (and Why) Athletes Go Broke” estimated that 78% of retired NFL players go bankrupt or face significant financial stress within two years of leaving the league.  I am guessing that ego and $$$ and the thrill of competition (most pro athletes love competition because they are the winners) makes it a powerful temptation.  Throw in the ease of gambling on your phone which is always in your hand, and I see your point x 10.

      Freeling got some reps at RT when they gave Moton a rest day--I sorta hope Freeling gets brought along slowly as you describe.  It would be better for him for reasons you provide.  We have a really good problem.
