Hopefully Weinke doesn't show him how to play like him. I also wonder if the Panthers contacted Weinke to help him or if the connection to the team is just coincidence.

Their first day together, Weinke went over 30 plays with Newton on the dry-erase board, then went outside and ran them. After a film session later in the day, Weinke put Newton at the board and quizzed him on each of the plays.

Newton was 30 for 30.

Wouldn't it be funny if, a decade after drafting him and six years after the ludicrous "bench Jake" controversies on here, we all finally thanked god that the panthers drafted chris weinke?

I was thinking the same thing about Weinke this morning. He could finally live up to his potential by helping this organization.

Weinke didn't have much potential tbqh
