David Newton is raising the bar... Here's another good article written by him. (Definitely worth a full read)

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Cam Newton was asked if the Carolina Panthers had named team captains as he wrapped up his Wednesday afternoon media availability.

"No, we haven't,'' the quarterback said matter-of-factly. "Have no clue. I'm not worried about captains right now. There's other bigger fish in the sea right now for me.''

"Those plays linger, linger, linger. We look up and now it's the fourth quarter and now we need to drive. We can't put ourselves in that situation and expect for something good to happen at the end when we had multiple opportunities the whole time.''

"Come game time when the bullets start flying we'll see how well I have evolved and matured with my game plan,'' Newton said when asked to compare his game today to what it was this time a year ago.

Great piece imo... Although I think he has kaepernick confused with Wilson... Although I'm definitely no GQ expert.

<discuss> (also scoured the whole from page, and didn't see this posted)

I hope he does have a chip... He plays better when he's mad and people "forget" about him

All I know is that The Carolina Panthers aren't playing ANY games going into this year. Everyone seems focused and ready to exceed expectations in every single way. Every single interview I've heard from all the key players seem super dialed in!

For some weird reason, I've got a really good feeling about this year.

They better vote him as caption. Or fire Rivera.

Pretty sure that is why they switched up how captains are designated.

Smith and Gross are former All Pro/Pro Bowlers who have played a career here. Tough to take it away from them. Old format would have kept him out

      Same, I expect this game to be the one where fans really riot Knowing us...  -Jalon Walker/JPJr. get at least 3 sacks -Jessie Bates gets an INT -Michael Penix throws at least 3 TD passes -XL drops at least 2 passes

      Panther fans sound off on Bryce

      By CRA · Posted

      I realize we were down 24 points when the Carolina Panthers touched the ball  for the first and only time  in the 3rd quarter...and they went on a 14 play checkdown drive taking the exact plays the Cards wanted them too and gave them overall.  and now you got folks cherry picking random plays asking how could it be garbage time if the Cards weren't in prevent on a 3rd down short yardage play or on the goal.  all you got do to is just watch the game live on repeat and not listen to the announcers.

      Just my opinion, so take it for what it's worth. I think Bryce decides who he's throwing to before the snap too often instead of reading what he sees post snap. Now alot of that is trying to influence the safety, but if the safety doesn't bite, he gets stuck and it turns into Bryce trying to make a play off schedule as the other options are gone. Cam did the same thing when Kelvin and Smitty were in the game. Bryce sees the field. He just gets a little stubborn sometimes. And that's when he gets himself into trouble. That and he doesn't trust guys to make plays on 3rd down. Instead of throwing to the open guy and letting them get the remaining 3-5 yards for the first, he'll wait until he can throw a guy to the markers. I don't think those physical limitations that keep being brought up is that real for him. Well... until he gets tackled and fumbles the ball at an alarming rate. But he has a strong enough arm, sees the field, and doesn't get injured by regular hits.
