Cam Newton: Carolina Panthers' season not 'a wash'

Newton rolled out of the gate as a rookie in 2011, playing off of raw instinct to torch opponents and reset expectations for what a first-year quarterback could accomplish. Year two has seen increased indecision in the pocket and a lack of chemistry between Newton and his targets. He's appeared mortal, and so have the Panthers, but Newton hasn't lost hope ahead of Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys.

"I think it's a big challenge for everybody to see what we can do because everything is still possible," Newton told The Charlotte Observer. "The season is far (from) a wash. It's time for us to prove it. There's a lot of expectations going into this season. And for us to get the vibe going, and pick up the vibe for this whole season, it's just going to have to start this game."

Lets get it Cam... The time is now, and we have to cease (edit: seize) the moment. I'm looking forward to seeing how we respond to injuries and a lackluster start to the season.

We knew that the first 5 weeks would be crucial when the schedule came out. Now it's time to see if we can bounce back and make history, or continue to falter... At 1 o' clock Sunday afternoon we'll see exactly where we're headed. With no expectations, I think I'm setting myself up to be surprised, one way or another.

I think "cease-ing the moment" is what we have been doing so far this year. What we probably want to do now is "seize the moment".

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Alright alright I messed up.... I used the wrong "cease" it should have been seize...

We have definitely been known to cease up though... Lol

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I agree with this and I think it's worth mentioning too that Bryce is not consistent on his placement and especially velocity and that in large part is driven by his footwork. We all know XL doesn't have the best hands and I don't know that he can overcome that. Cam always had the heater that just hit your hands and sank into your grip, where Bryce has some that are harder thrown, some soft. Bryce stepping into a pass looks so much different than that hop throw thing he does. I think XL really needs to hit the jugs machine and start learning how to catch all these different touch passes. TMac and Coker don't have these issues. If XL doesn't get some work in he's going to be out of the league in the next couple of years.

      I think most people like XL from a personal standpoint. I don't think he's stupid either. Although if we are being realistic he is lacking in football IQ at this point in time and it cannot be disputed that he has not taken working on his craft seriously at all times given the body of work on the field. It speaks for itself. I myself have defended him at times given the circumstances of our QB room. But he is now in his third year and 25 years old. We are not in a position as a franchise to go around babying anyone especially first round draft picks. He needs to take his position and his football career seriously or he is going to end up selling used cars somewhere. I hope he realizes this and takes an extended break from social media because that mess certainly isn't going to increase his net worth if he ends up out of the league. And these hanger on types will disappear quick too once that money dries up and it surely will eventually. We'll see how he responds.
