CHARLOTTE – Quarterback Derek Anderson understands why he’s getting more attention this week.
Cam Newton remains in the concussion protocol, meaning Anderson has been taking the first-team reps during practice.
But that doesn’t change the 12-year veteran’s approach to the week of preparation.
“I learned early on in my first couple years starting that I just have to trust what I do,” said Anderson, who has been Newton’s backup since 2011. “I stick to a schedule; I do the same things every single week. Trust it and understand that I know that I’ve covered all my bases.
