The Carolina Panthers shocked the NFL world last week when they signed former quarterback Cam Newton to a one-year deal, and one week later, it looks like he will take over as their starting signal-caller.
“But I think, and I was pretty transparent the other day, in terms of wanting to push him into that role I think it’s good for our team.
The former New York Jets signal-caller has disappointed as well, and Carolina needed to make a move if it wanted a chance at making the postseason.
He scored both touchdowns on his first two snaps last week, which made him the first quarterback in the last 30 years to run for a touchdown on his first rush of the season, and throw a touchdown on his first pass of the season.
