Andy Dalton is going to the Pro Bowl, and that's hilarious
Bwahahaha! Let's get one thing out of the way right now: Cam Newton does not deserve to go to the Pro Bowl. The Panthers quarterback would probably tell you the same. He was inconsistent when it mattered, didn't have many convincing wins and statistically suffered thanks to injury and missing two games. Despite all this Newton was still better than Andy Dalton. Why does this matter? Dalton is now a Pro Bowler. Dalton will replace Aaron Rodgers, who has withdrawn from the game due to injury. In doing so it highlights just how ridiculous the Pro Bowl has become as the biggest laughing stock...

The Cam Newton Double Standard
We here at CSR have touched on this before, but is there truly a bias against the Panthers QB? To set up the reasoning for writing this, I start with a story from last night. I was sitting down with my Dad eating dinner and talking about the Conference Championship games going on that night. Naturally the discussion turned to the Green Bay-Seattle tilt. That game was a doozy and a half. I didn't get to see all of it, but got to see some of the more interesting parts. As we are discussing this game, I found myself getting angry. I couldn't figure out why. The more I talked with my Dad about...

Grading the Panthers 2014 Season
Let's start the evaluation of the Panthers season with high level grades. Future posts will look a little deeper. I'm going to use David Newton's recent grades as a comparison to my opinion. Let's start with the offense. OFFENSE Between injuries to quarterback Cam Newton, the offensive line and running backs, it really was hard to judge this group. When the line finally developed continuity with the same starting five over the last five regular-season games, the unit played well enough to win. Running back. Jonathan Stewart became a force. There still were struggles in the red zone that...

No Surprise: Kiper Mocks an OT to the Panthers
ESPN's Mel Kiper has issued his latest mock draft and of course it's an OT but not one I've seen before. This is the first time I've seen this tackle go so late in the first round: Andrus Peat Carolina Panthers (7-8-1) COLLEGE: Stanford Class: Jr HT: 6-6 WT: 315 POS: OT Analysis: It's not really overstating it to say the Panthers' pass protection was absolute garbage in 2014. And if you assume they will make a commitment to Cam Newton this offseason, they'll need to find a way not to take his durability for granted in constructing the offensive line, because even Newton...

Panthers Must Address These Issues This Offseason
The Panthers have a number of issues they have to address this offseason now that the season is over. I'm going to piggyback on a Fox Sports piece that I think doesn't really hit on the key issues though I can't disagree with them. Let's start with the three issues presented in the post. Cam Newton's Contract I think it's obvious the Panthers need to give Newton an extension or a new contract. I'm not even going to entertain the argument. Newton's game has its flaws but their is too much upside to let him walk. Newton can win a SB with the right coaching and players around him. Upgrading...

Cam Newton struggled in Seattle, just like every other quarterback
And yet the narrative train is full steam ahead. The playoff loss in Seattle has become yet another lazy, hackneyed excuse to put Cam Newton in the collective national sights and convict him to death by hot takes. "He's not a franchise quarterback," some say. Still others insist their middling non-playoff quarterback of choice could have played better, an indictment on the Panthers belonging in the NFL playoffs. The truth is that Newton struggled at CenturyLink Field, which makes him exactly like every single quarterback in the NFL. Home field advantage in Seattle is real. It might not...

Sherman: Seahawks made Newton pay for bad decisions
Say this for Cam Newton: He went down swinging. A few days before the Panthers' divisional-round matchup at Seattle, Newton said he wouldn't shy away from challenging Pro Bowl cornerback Richard Sherman. It wasn't trash talk from Newton, who correctly...

Up and Down Game For Cam vs. Seahawks
Much like the whole season, Panthers quarterback Cam Newton was really good at times and at other times, he made some really bad decisions against the Seahawks.Fantasy Spin:Newton was 23-of-36 with two touchdowns and kept the Panthers in it for much of the game, but Newton also threw two costly picks. One of the interceptions was returned for a touchdown. Newton nearly threw a couple more picks in the game as well. Hopefully he gets healthy for next season and can be more consistent in 2015.
