CAR: Owner says he's not worried about Cam Newton missing time

Carolina Panthers owner Jerry Richardson said that he's not overly concerned about the instruction QB Cam Newton is missing out on as the lockout lingers. 'The Panthers are going to be like everybody else and (Newton's) going to be like everybody else, so we all have to adjust and deal with what we have to deal with,' Richardson said. 'I'm not really overly stressed out about it, personally.'

Chalk this up as pure sound bite bluffing. I'm actually impressed Richardson was able to keep a straight face saying this. Nobody is buying what Richardson is selling here as missing time is a huge problem for Newton and his development. If there's one thing to remember about this year being different it's that the teams with veteran leadership at key positions have a giant advantage over teams like Carolina with Newton at quarterback. The longer this lockout lasts, the more pronounced this advantage will be. We're always leery of buying into rookie hype for skill positions but this year is even more so. Be very careful.

Newton's been working out with former NFL QBs Ken Dorsey and Chris Weinke. During this time he's also been studying the team's playbook as he prepares to win the starting job for the Panthers. Newton is set to join his teammates for player-organized workouts next week in Charlotte.

Fuggg the lockout :(

JR has bigger problems to worry about than Newton. I can assure you that teams like the Ravens are the most nervous b/c they are older and their window is quickly closing to win.

I actually think that Newton is his biggest problem.

Not only will he be behind from the lockout, but the #1 draft pick is unsigned and risking injury by particpating in the workouts. Granted, the risk is low assuming no contact is involved... but this is the type of thing that keeps an owner or at least a GM up at night.

      I’m just not seeing it. Falcons are better than the previous two teams we faced and the Panthers unlike most teams do not really play better at home than on the road

      I don’t know about this one. Looking at his touches in week 2, there are still 3 plays I can find where he had an easy 2-3 yards upfield and somehow turned it to a race to the sideline for no gain or negative yardage. He was putting us in 2nd and 11 vs 2nd and 7. It doesn’t seem like much, but an NFL WR has to know to get upfield. You will break one eventually.

      No more mistakes on draft day...

      Despite what reports say, I still think Tepper is influencing football decisions.  We certainly heard about this during the Reich short era...ie - the Monday morning meetings.  There are too many consistent inconsistencies still going on to not think he is still too much involved.  New coaches, new GMs....same results.  The offense looks the same under Canales as it did under Rhule, Brown and Reich. The only time the offense has looked different was when Wilkes moved to a power run game for 6-7 games.  But it was clear Wilkes would not have wanted BY....probably a big reason why he was not retained.   The defense was actually better under Snow but he had better players and it was not a great defense.  But the defense has gotten much worse as they lost key players (Luvu, Chinn, Burns & etc) but did not replace them with even average talent.  The defense was never really strong since the 3-4 defense was pushed on Rivera by Tepper. I think Tepper pushed for BY too.  Now Canales is stuck with a QB that does not fit his system.  The last 7-years of Panthers football can be traced back to when Tepper bought the team.
