CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) Cam Newton downplayed the criticism he received last week from Panthers teammate Steve Smith, saying he and his Pro Bowl receiver are still ``on good terms.''

Smith told reporters he chided Newton on the sideline last Thursday night for sulking during the closing minutes of Carolina's 36-7 blowout loss to the Giants.

Newton says he didn't read anything into that, saying he views the 12-year veteran receiver as ``a big brother'' who's always giving him advice on football and life.

Newton believes it's ``bogus'' to single out one instance of Smith offering advice to him and make it a big deal.

Newton says ``Steve Smith talks to me every day.''

Smith says in hindsight he probably should have kept what he said to Newton between the two of them.

So we are completely humiliated on Thursday night and people really think Cam is worried about the media headlines.. Guarantee his concerns are making sure that doesn't happen Sunday.

Smith's comments were spot on, just really wasn't anybody not collecting a pay check from the Carolina Panthers business.

They are good for each other. Cam resurrects his career in exchange Smitty helps make sure the boy becomes the man.

I sometimes cannot believe how extremely arrogant some of you Panthers fans are. Smitty turning Cam into a man can't be for real seeing that Smitty is still quite immature himself...Except with some of you. Having fits of rage isn't my idea of maturity.

So, going forward you will be giving Smitty credit for turning Cam into a man because him sitting on a sideline with a towel over his head really bothered you, right?

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Navy_football · Posted

      Roger all that. Do you think BY avoided any sacks last game? This oline is not what you're touting them to be. They are much better then 2023! Much much much better than 2023. But come on now, you'd expect this expensive oline (most are run blocking specialist) to at least dominate in the run game every game.  And... I keep telling you our WRs and TEs are not that good yet. I mean last Sunday was a prime example. Our receiving targets never make plays like those. Never. And this is from one of the worst teams in the league. Shough could have easily had 3 INTs if not for his receivers making plays on the ball. Our guys just don't do that. XL almost allowed an INT backing up out of bounds instead of coming to the ball. And everyone would have blamed that on BY. That's why he doesn't throw to that dude. I can't recall a game except maybe the second Falcons game - maybe, where I thought our receivers could possibly be better than the other team's. I think TMac and Coker have a lot of potential. But they're aren't consistent. But they're young and WILL improve. I'm confident of that.  I don't agree that BY was drafted to only stand in the pocket. He has always been best off schedule - for better or worse.

      Do you think you will get a direct answer?  Icky giving up 5 pressures (playing hurt in his defense) by himself and Bryce only getting sacked once tells you he played well in the pocket.  He extended plays and converted some tough downs.

      What gets this team past this?

      By frankw · Posted

      I've been very apprehensive about potentially firing yet another head coach. But Canales needs to focus on being a head coach first and foremost and begin handing off some responsibilities like playcalling duties and begin overseeing the entire team or we need to assess all possible ideal HC candidates in the offseason.
