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:

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.

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.

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.

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By Navy_football · Posted

      It appears that he sees things differently than the QB and OC, so Cam's advice is spot on. It isn't about number of targets, it's about quality of targets. Trust and being on the same page. BY doesn't know how to anticipate what XL is doing. And XL doesn't like where BY is placing passes. One on one film study would go a long way. More for BY than XL though. He has to adjust to XL. I really don't think XL can adjust on the fly.

      Should Dave Canalas be on the HOT seat??

      If the team shows improvement, then he shouldn't be in danger of losing his job - even if the record doesn't reflect. This was a very young team (with a lot of new vet starters) that overperformed last season. Somebody's doing something right. Consistency is key with so much youth. And we're potentially looking at new starters at ILB and FS. Those are positions that take time to fully understand the defense. ILB calls the front 7. Safety calls the back 4. Injuries at WR and IOL killed the offense last season. Depth needs to be upgraded. Same with Edge. I think they would have won more games if Pat Jones doesn't go down early. Be smart with the roster and draft. Trade players for assets when it's time to pay them more than they're worth - yes, that includes BY if he doesn't make a pretty big jump. That's one of the many reasons Tillis is as important as anyone to the future of this team.
