Rhett Davis: Cam Newton… does it again! He had yet another 400+ yard game. Despite those accolades, the Carolina Panthers still lost to the mighty Green Bay Packers who looked great for a second week with Aaron Rodgers scoring 2 TD’s and over 300 yards in passing. If Carolina had a decent running back, they would be a force to be reckoned with.
Daniels: Not a lot to go with here. The Packers defense showed itself kind of weak in a second consecutive win. Cam Newton is going to break a ton of Fantasy Leagues this year simply by going to the guy who had first waiver priority last week.
Grey Scherl: Cam Newton did what? He threw how many yards two weeks in a row? And with the Panthers? Really? Alright, dude is a beast, I was wrong when I said he’d wind up being a bust. Or maybe even this statement is a bit premature. Then again, 432 yards against the Packers and another 50 on the ground? At the same time, the one touchdown to three picks speaks for itself. Cam Newton is going to be huge if he stays healthy, and even bigger if his team can work around him. The Packers, on the other hand, continue to look impressive doing things their way. Aaron Rodgers continues to steadily build up his numbers, his receivers are productive, the running backs are productive, and their defense is dominant. Four hundred receiving yards against them isn’t a great sign, but again, one touchdown to three picks; two of them to Woodson. Packers are looking like the best team in the NFC North.
Glazer: Let’s begin with the simple fact that at this point, Cam Newton is real. If he were experienced enough to simply avoid Charles Woodson, the Panthers win this game thanks to Cam and a really impressive defense. Cam is going to own this league one day, and that day really may not be that far away. That said, after a very rocky start where they didn’t appear to take the Panthers seriously, much like Dallas against SF, the Packers had to rally to win and looked hugely impressive. James Starks continues to show he changes the entire offense for the better, but the Packers insisting on being so conservative is going to bit them against a superior team.
