There is little doubt that Cam Newton is the best quarterback in Carolina Panthers history. There is also little doubt that the organization botched key situations involving him during the past couple months.
Let’s start with how they mismanaged his injury. I wrote a whole piece on that – if you want to read it – but the bottom line is, they should have been much more proactive in how they handled it. There was no reason why Newton was sitting on the sidelines, not seeing a specialist to check out his foot. The organization messed that up big-time.
