I THINK I CAM : PANTHERS REMAIN UNDEFEATED

Carolina lost star wide receiver WR Kelvin Benjamin in the pre-season and entered the 2015 regular season with apparent loopholes and blemish. Well, the NFC South 1st place standing Panthers view their 5-0 start knowing that it speaks volumes to their ability to overcome adversary. The unity amongst this team in unprecedented. It all starts with the head coach in Ron Rivera. His optimistic mentality has clear impact on both his defensive leader in LB Luke Kuechly and his offensive leader QB Cam Newton. As we enter into Week 7 of the NFL this upcoming weekend, let's take a look at both the statistical and spiritual developments in the promising career of Carolina's head signal caller QB Cam Newton.

In a league were an elite QB is as vital as health insurance, QB Cam Newton has with lowliness embraced his role with the Panthers. Newton inked a 5 year 103.8 million dollar contract during the off-season and has since not produced a single loss. While critics like to analyze what Cam lacks at the quarterback position like uncanny accuracy and a high completion percentage, Newton's ability to lead by example is second to none. Sure we know about his signature superman touchdown celebration and media friendly million dollar smile in the press conference, but his Week 6 game winning drive against a Seahawks team that hadn't allowed an offensive touchdown in their last two home games deserves a hats off ovation. It's all about maturation. That maturation has Newton's touchdown percentage sitting at 5.1%, a 1.1% increase from a year prior. His 83.2 passer rating for the 2015 season may not compare to that of Tom Brady or Aaron Rodgers, but his 45 yards per game rushing adds a dimension in the Carolina offense that opposing defenses could not possibly prepare for in just five days.  Going into Week 7 where Carolina will face the Philadelphia Eagles (3-3), the enthusiasm of Panthers fans must be equivalent to the doubt of the average NFL cornerback faced with the task of tackling the 245 lbs Newton in the open field. Regardless of what critics have to say about Carolina, Newton has multiple reasons why I think I Cam.
