Newton and Dalton greeted each other at the hotel before Wednesday's opening practice.

"We were able to come in and the teams trusted us to come in and lead the team," Dalton said. "So I think it's great. We just came out and did what we were able to do — just be ourselves and it worked out for both of us. We both came into great situations."

Great quotes from Cam:

Newton is backing up Brees and Rodgers, and doesn't mind starting on the bench.

"I idolized them throughout the year, watched so much film on them how they play the game from the check downs, to the way they throw, to everything," Newton said. "Lo and behold, we're on the same roster.

"So I'm watching and learning. What better way to learn than firsthand? I don't really don't mind, especially to these two MVP candidates. I'll be second string to that, man," he said.

The Panthers missed the playoffs after finishing 6-10, but Newton promises he has a lot more to offer as his game matures.

"I've had an unbelievable and blessed year, but at the same time, I feel the best is yet to come for Cam Newton," he said. "I'm going to continue to work hard and push myself."

Looking back at game film of himself, Newton said there were things he was happy with and some things that were "disgusting to look at."

"That's why you grow into the game and watch film on yourself to see yourself now and see yourself in the future," he said.

and on the Panthers future

And to Newton, the future is bright in Carolina, which is looking to become a playoff contender.

"The Carolina Panthers, coach (Ron) Rivera, (General Manager) Marty Hurney and (owner) Jerry Richardson, they have everybody's interest at heart and they're going to do what's the best for this team," Newton said. "That's something I do know and I can attest to. This team, this organization is going in the right direction to be an elite playoff team and contender year in and year out."

What do you me "we" kemosabe?

I know Dalton played very well, but the season he had doesn't come close to the season Cam had.

I consider dalton in the same league, they will forever be compared due to being drafted together. And what dalton said was true both teams drafted them with full intent to have as their starter and they both did very well.

Cam's in the conversation for greatest rookie season of all time, haven't heard Dalton mentioned in that conversation.

Dalton played very well, but the season he had is not in the same class as the season Cam had.

I don't think Dalton ever said anything like that. I think Dalton and Newton are definitely in the same league. It will take another season or two before Newton can really pull away.

    • I definitely respect your opinion more than Tracy McGrady, Vince Carter, and Carmelo Anthony (whom I just watched on their show, all saying NOBODY wants to get the Hornets in the post-season). You win.
    • For all the good feelings about Bryce Young, when you read between the lines, it's what DC says and doesn't say that makes us know that Bryce hasn't necessarily been the supercomputer that they thought he would be. This season, Bryce has to make a tangible progression on the field. "A big part of it is being able to operate at the line of scrimmage — not in the huddle — when we want to, and he’s certainly capable of that," Canales said about Young. "It’s not solely on him. It’s a group that’s pretty young. You have to trust all the guys to go up there, communicate verbally or nonverbally and execute what we’re doing. We’ve made huge strides in that regard. His ability to alter things based on what they’re giving you will give us another edge, which he’s continued to grow and had some great examples down the stretch where he identified things they were doing, got us to the right check and capitalized on some plays. Want to see him do that more when it’s appropriate. We don’t need to be changing things just to change it." The implications, perhaps insinuations, are pretty evident. Bryce is just going to have to do better. "And then for Bryce, it’s the identification of early on the cues that the defense are giving us, to be able to eliminate parts of your progression before the ball’s even snapped. That happens with time. I’ve seen quarterbacks really own and master, which allows them to play lightning fast." Obviously Bryce isn't necessarily picking things up as fast as Canales would like, and I can only assume that Canales is making comparisons to Russell Wilson, Geno Smith and Baker Mayfield. But, of course, not everyone picks things up at the same rate. Bryce's pace has left Canales wanting for more. During the coming season, I don't believe that it will be good enough for Bryce to start putting things together in December, evidence of the light switch being on is going to have to show itself in September. Basically, it's really the moment that we've all been waiting for, the one that we thought should've happened earlier, the one that brings Bryce's accountability in the spotlight. On an off note, perhaps to that end, we should consider the possible implications upon the draft, but that's another story. Basically, it's time for Bryce to sh¡t or get off the pot. https://roundtable.io/sports/nfl/panthers/news/carolina-panthers-dave-canales-holds-nothing-back-on-bryce-young-in-new-interview
    • Wouldn’t mind Tyson. Definitely prefer him to Sadiq.
