Panthers QB Cam Newton

A perfect explanation of Carolina’s 9-0 start

“A lot of people want to look at power rankings, a lot of people want to look at individual accolades up until this point – ‘Why are they winning?’ It’s simple. The defense is playing great, special teams is getting great field position, the offense is winning the point of attack. No, we don’t put up five or six touchdowns a game, but we find ways to win. I’ll say it flat out: Are we the most talented team in the league? Absolutely not. But I pride myself in being able to say we have the potential to be the best team in the league.”
