Re: Mad props to Cam Newton
It's been 5 games now for Cam and he continues to prove idiots like me wrong... Seriously
10 Total Tds and 1600 passing yards is incredible for a 22 year old rookie.

Re: Mad props to Cam Newton
I think Cam fell into the right situation. Small market team with not many expectations due to the team being in full on rebuild mode. Even if they have a losing record this year, with another round of draft picks and free agency (and avoiding the sophomore slump), the Panthers can become in the NFC South next year.

Besides, I think Carolina looked really bad because of poor QB play and their prior offense being rather simplistic. The rest of the team might not have been THAT bad talentw-se. They now have a more dynamic offense and seem to have found their QB.

If I were Clausen I wouldn't buy a house in Charlotte right now.

Newton has a ton of ability and is very gifted physically. He has obviously shown the commitment that many pundits thought he would not. And I feel that being in a small market has freed him from some of the outside pressures and allow him to focus on the game.

Re: Mad props to Cam Newton
I'll eat another slice of Cam Crow pie, but I'm not really going to believe anything until about year 2 or 3. I'd say the same thing with any QB really. I think the real test will be the last half of this season or the first half of next. New coach, offense, so there isn't game tape on them. Yet.

I don't think the spotlight gets much hotter then not only being a SEC QB at Auburn but being in national spotlight for pay for play scandal while en route to an undefeated national championship season. I'm gonna wager a wild guess and say that Cam handles pressure pretty okay. |

Re: Mad props to Cam Newton
Cam has definitely far surpassed my expectations of what I thought he could do right away as a rookie. He's far more polished as a QB than I expected. Carolina seems to have a bright future with him.

Re: Mad props to Cam Newton
He is a pretty good talent. I definitely thought he would be a dud. He is a great personality and has the game on the field to back.
And he has awesome pearly whites. Weird that I notice that? Perhaps I was a dentist in a past life.

Re: Mad props to Cam Newton
I am from Charlotte and getting caught up in the Cam Newton phenom. He is a pleasant surprise. Now waiting for Tebow!! Go Tebow!!! I am begining to think these so called pro system college QBs are being hurt by running a pro style offense in college. The difference in speed between college and the pros makes their so-called pro style offense experience a moot point.
