Cam Newton on pace for his best passer rating of career

[NAS]

Over 100 avg rating for the first in his career. You can argue he is having a better season so far than 2015.  Half way through 2015 his numbers were not this impressive. It was the amazing second half of the season that propelled him to MVP status.  If he continues to get better, he may not get MVP but he will have his best season, and Panthers will be primed for a return to the SB.

I still say 2015 was his best season, he won that mvp in spite of his receivers

He was definitely on fire. Imagine if he had these weapons

What I like best about 2018 CN1 is that the success he's having now is reproduce-able and sustainable.  It's not a bunch of low percentage deep shots, it's high percentage short and intermediate stuff that the players around him turn into gold.  Yes, he's still running the ball, but he's a lot smarter about it now.

This CN1 has a chance for a longer career than 2015, and that should have Panthers fans really excited.

The key similarity between 2015 and 2018 is a halfway decent offensive line.

Give Cam Newton at least an average offensive line and a competent scheme and you’ve got a top five quarterback every year.

Its not over yet. He really got hot the second half of 2015 like always-- hes getting hotter now.

Its very probable that like 2015, Cam starts having 4-5 touchdown games and gets into that 45-50 touchdown bracket like 2015 or better.

He needs to be in the 2018 MVP discussion when that happens.

The biggest difference between 2015 and 2018 is we now have players that can bail Cam out of a bad situation instead of the other way around, like CMC's miracle touchdown grab last week and DJ's dribble bobble off a bad throw. Cam's always had to bail out the offense, and now we have players like Samuel, DJ Moore, and CMC that can work magic. Norv and the skill positions have taken so much pressure off of Cam, and now he has the scheme and protection he needs. I don't see him being in the MVP discussion unless we go undefeated the rest of the season, however.
