SPARTANBURG, S.C. -- "If you could be any animal for two weeks, which one would you pick?"

Those were the very first words I heard when I stepped onto the practice field at Wofford College this past Friday. The question was posed by a smiling Cam Newton to fellow quarterback Derek Andersonas they warmed up for a sweltering afternoon practice at Carolina Panthers training camp.

If the pressure of a "sophomore slump" is weighing on the reigning NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year, he sure does a great job of disguising it.

Here are five observations on Newton from my visit:

Fap......fap........mother fuggin FAP!!!!!

[Floppin]

You dont think??? If Detroit didnt have Stafford and we traded Cam for Megatron straight up they would feel as if they were getting a steal. Cam for NO ONE

Anyone who trades an, even, mid level starting QB for a WR - I don't care who it is - is fuging retarded.

No way. Cam is a freak of nature and will change the position.

Cam for Rodgers would be REALLY tough. Cam for Megatron? Eh, I wanna see what Stafford can do healthy without his big ass.

Great article...

We have had our 'Megatron' before Cam. What's that without a QB?

[Jrock88]

For two weeks? I'd be a jellyfish. Just floating in the ocean. That'd be fugging awesome.

Also, yeah, Cam to LaFell will be fun to watch. Almost as fun as floating in currents.

Wouldn't trade Cam for anyone in the league.

That's fine until you drift into the wrong current and wash up on the beach. First, little Johnny wanders over to prod you with his plastic sand shovel. He gets bored and you figure you're in the clear. Ah, but not so fast my gelatinous friend. Here come a few curious crabs, and they begin to take tentative nibbles of your tender flesh. Once again, you find reason for optimism, as something scares away the crabs. Suddenly, an indistinct shape casts a shadow over your little patch of sand. Your last conscious sensation is that of flight as you rise higher and higher...

Trust me. It would suck to be a jellyfish.
