Top draft pick Cam Newton will start at quarterback for the Carolina Panthers in their second preseason game Friday. Coach Ron Rivera said Wednesday that Newton would take the first snap against the Miami Dolphins as part of the plan to alternate the rookie and Jimmy Clausen, who started last week against the New York Giants. Rivera said the first-team offense would play about one half and Clausen would get reps with the first-stringers to keep the quarterback competition even. Rivera said he would likely announce next week which player will start in the opener Sept. 11 against Arizona. Source: Associated Press
Idk, teams are pretty stubborn when they use a #1pk on a player. That being said i'm a say under with 7 games before they pull him. Am I the only1 that didn't think Cam looked good in his 1st game, he had some poor throws and then after he got sacked he turned into David Carr with the happy feet and falling back throws. I would be very scared if I was Carolina.
