10 quick impressions of Panther camp

I forgot to put up a link to my "10 quick impressions" column after watching the first few days of Panther camp.

Here it is, with some interesting nuggets about Cam Newton, the Panthers' blitz package, Olindo Mare, the problem at cornerback and so on.

Also, this isn't in the column but that is interesting that Ron Rivera gave a one-word impression of Newton Tuesday at training camp, and the word was "Wow." That indicates to me that Rivera is thinking very hard already about starting Newton in the regular-season opener Sept.11 at Arizona.

I don't have a problem with that. I'd rather Delhomme start than Jimmy "Pickles" Clausen or Derek Anderson. Even if Cam takes his lumps in Year One, he'll be a solid performer down the road.

Yeah, just like Chris Weinke...

"WOW" is what Jimmy Clausen said .....

how about we all just wait to see what Cam does in the preseason games first?!!! That is why they actually play these "meaningless" games

Scott says that Steve Beuerlein was the Panthers' most accurate passer. The record book says that Beuerlein holds the franchise record for single-season yards passing: 4,436 in 1999. He also had slower feet than a dead turtle. So . . . what might this say about the importance of ACCURACY of the QB as opposed to his athleticism?! Panthers go 5-11in 2011, worse if Newton stsrts is September.

It won't work in reality, that's exactly what I consider.
