I don't think enough is being made of what Cam Newton is accomplishing. With Tom Brady rewriting the record books every week, perhaps that's why Newton is being overshadowed, but this rookie doesn't blink. Newton kept his team deep into the game against the world champion Packers and proved that Week 1 was no fluke. Yes, he turned it over some and learned a lesson about Charles Woodson, but Newton was the reason the game was competitive in the first place.

Remember, the original idea was that the run game was going to support Newton and allow him to come along slowly, with DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart carrying the load. However, the Panthers rank 29th in rushing and Newton is their leading rusher through two games (Williams and Stewart are averaging 2.5 yards per carry). The quarterback is also completing an impressive 63 percent of his passes with consecutive 400-yard games.

Newton is doing things no other rookie quarterback has ever come close to, and Sunday he did it against the best and most complex defense in the league ... without his starting right tackle to boot. The wins will come, and the future looks bright in Carolina.

Wait till next season and see what happens.

We start winning, that attention meter will go waaaaaay up.

You wait. I only wanna wait until Sunday, thank you very much.

We're going 4-0 over the next 4 games then we will lose to Washington due to coming off the high of winning back to back divisional games. Win 2 more and drop on the road to the Lions....then we cruise into the playoffs for the rest of the season going 6-0 for the remaining games.

That's my script and I'm sticking to it until proven otherwise. Then I will readjust over and over until we are no longer mathematically eligible for play offs, at which point, depending how much I lose my sanity, I may decide to re-invent math ;)

    • This makes an interesting case for two awards: Best QB (We'll workshop the actual title) and MVP-Other.
    • new article " If they do opt to roll with the younger and cheaper options, the Panthers probably wouldn't bite on Moore. They've seen him get worse since trading him away, and virtually no one on the team was part of that decision or that era. Still, it would be hilarious to see Moore return home. It would also be a pretty solid addition, assuming the Bears ate some of the cost and/or it didn't require much capital to get him. A wide receiver room of Tetairoa McMillan, Jalen Coker, Moore, Xavier Legette, and Jimmy Horn Jr. would be nice." https://www.si.com/nfl/panthers/onsi/news/panthers-hilarious-landing-spot-unhappy-bears-wr#:~:text=It all looks like the,much capital to get him.
    • BTW - this was statistically the worst season of his career.  He had more yards even as a rookie.   DJ Moore Career Statistics (Receiving)   Year  Team Receptions Yards Touchdowns 2018 Panthers 55 788 2 2019 Panthers 87 1,175 4 2020 Panthers 66 1,193 4 2021 Panthers 93 1,157 4 2022 Panthers 63 888 7 2023 Bears 96 1,364 8 2024 Bears 98 966 6 2025 Bears 50 682 6 Total   608 8,213 41
