Cam Newton -

no big whoop - doesnt mean jack to any of you or him but I am eating my own crow when I say I really didnt like taking him as our first pick this year. Thought he was overated and arrogant. Its easy like Newton after slinging it for over 400 this first game, but taking a good look at some of the video - the guy just seems to love the game - enjoys the physicality of it and the brutality - and thats the sort of player I like - I didnt see that coming before from him.

Should he put up some dismal numbers the rest of the season I am still going to be behind him.

My one concern is how many hits hes taking - sure hes a big guy and young and strong - but between sacks, and hits this past week, his dive over the top ( 2x), plus his solo tackle - he went to the the ground over 20 times - thats a beating for any qb- our o line needs to really step it up and give him some protection and he needs to start protecting himself or he will get hurt and then we are all in for some very dismal games.

      Schedule for Next Week

      Makes the most sense since ATL could mess it all up. Let us play the "big game" while it still means something (assuming ATL upsets LA tomorrow). NFL had to put us on Sat. Sure, they could've waited until tomorrow night but I guess they have to get that betting/hotels/flights stuff started for people ASAP.

      Dave Canales killing me with his play calling!

      But they are professionals, not college or high school players. They understand the situation and the reason. Trust me, they're beating themselves for the loss, not even giving the knell down a second thought. I think these guys like playing for Canales. I don't sense locker room strife with these guys. Trust me, I get where you're coming from, it a fair take. But at that point in the game it's not perceived as quitting. Who's to say he didn't ask the team? Stands to reason if a key player can get hurt on the first play of the game, a key player can on the last play. Imagine that discussion? If Dowdle goes down on a play that is meaningless when they are playing for the title next week?
