Each week the Carolina Panthers
have played in the regular season they’ve gotten worse. They’ve suffered losses to the Steelers,
Ravens, Packers, Seahawks and Saints.
Tonight they meet the 6-2 Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field in the City
of Brotherly Love. Kickoff time is 8:30
PM ET on ESPN.
I have written in previous posts
that I believe QB Cam Newton is gun-shy after his ankle surgery and the rib
injury he suffered at the start of the regular season. I’m just going to say it; he has been
pampered throughout his collegiate career and he is finding things are vastly
differently in the NFL. He, I believe,
expected to be coddled in the pros.
There is no place for a prima donna on the Panthers’ roster.
It is undeniable that Newton has
talent, but if you’re afraid of being hit you’re in the wrong business. Coach Rivera needs to understand that the
Panthers are quickly becoming an embarrassment for the NFC South Division. Second string QB Derek Anderson deserves a
chance to lead the team. Rivera had the
moxie to “send a message” to Kelvin Benjamin.
Why not send one to Newton?
On the bright side, the Panthers
will get back Byron Bell, Amini Silatolu and possibly Trai Turner who have been
on IR. Hopefully their return can make a
difference in turning around a squad that has struggled on both sides of the
ball.
The fans are restless and the
Panthers know it. They need to stop the
bone-headed sandlot plays. The Eagles
are hot right now scoring 29.3 points per game while the Panthers are scoring
only 19.7 points per game. It doesn’t
appear from their stats or their hearts that they can keep up with Philadelphia.
On a happier note, here are some pom-poms to admire since no
football post would be complete without them.
Bloodbath. Yank Newton and put in Derek Anderson at QB. This pic tells it all. #CARvsPHI pic.twitter.com/XqsoEqR6lu
