“How can you not be impressed with Newton based off the tape? The quarterback looks healthy running the football, he is seeing the field from the pocket and delivering accurate throws from multiple release points.” — Matt Bowen

“Panthers are 3-2-1 after tying Cincinnati last week. Were it not for Newton, it would be a lot worse. That’s how good he’s played since missing the opener at Tampa Bay with a rib injury.” — Pete Prisco

“You know who might represent a pretty good competitor for Aaron Rodgers? Cam Newton, who has been one of the best quarterbacks in football this year with virtually nothing around him.” — Bill Barnwell

“Did staying in the pocket make Newton a better passer? That seems like too convenient a narrative. It’s more likely that Newton is developing like we all hoped he would.” — Gregg Rosenthal

Newton is currently our top-graded QB with a +14.6 overall grade. – Chris Phillips
