Even if he sucks, it's gonna be hard not to like him

Newton’s focus right now is not on money, but rather proving to his teammates he's the right guy to lead this team.

He already has veteran wide receiver Steve Smith convinced he has the skills to play.

When asked what he thinks of the 6-foot-5, 248-pound kid quarterback, Smith simply replied, “Rave reviews.”

The two worked out several times before the start of training camp and got to know each other on a personal basis. They often exchange text messages. And while Smith ultimately said he chose to stay because that’s what his family wanted, some close to him say Newton’s presence ultimately convinced him to stay in Carolina.

“Man, I don’t know what I did, but it worked,” Newton said, flashing that million-dollar smile. “I was going to have to call all of the fire marshals in the state of North Carolina before he was going to get out of here.”

      BREAKING!!! Panthers signing Packers LT Rasheed Walker

      By frankw · Posted

      Well if we are being realistic doesn't what you just lined out already tell us where we are at? If the rookie UDFA kicker was the savior more often than not and we had a bottom 5 offense despite us having a #1 pick behind center who was billed predraft as a mini Payton Manning is that just going to magically change trajectory overnight with a tougher schedule added in? If we are going to repeat as division champions then it will be with the defense doing the heavy lifting. So keep adding to it.

      Everyone keeps arguing all these teams have great TE's that made them successful. THATS BS! What makes those teams great is QB play and we don't have that. So again even getting a NON-INLINE TE who can run a fast 40 time isnt going to get us anywhere without competent QB play consistently. Which we don't have by a long shot. So honestly all these great teams have a TE argument doesnt hold water to me.  Mahomes would be nasty without Kelce, Lamar would blow you away without Andrews, does it help? of course any weapon will help but only if you have someone making those correct reads week to week. When we have that then I'd be all in on a game breaking TE but unfortunately we are stuck with one of the most inconsistent starting QB's currently in the NFL.  Not to mention all the TE's mentioned are COMPLETE TE's not just a receiving threat with drop issues which Sadiq does. Argue all you want but nothing will change that fact other than getting a consistent QB week to week in a Panthers uniform which doesnt seem to be happing anytime soon.

      They don't have guidelines for hand size for the backup QB.
