Disclaimer: This week’s Reacts poll was conducted before the news broke that Cam Newton was returning to the Panthers on a 1-year, $4.5 million ($1.5 million guaranteed and up to $10 million with incentives) contract for the remainder of 2021.
The Panthers lost an ugly game to the Patriots last week, and because of that Panthers fans’ confidence in the team was the lowest it has been all season. Fan confidence moved up and down over the last few weeks thanks to a win over the Falcons in Week 8 that was sandwiched between two ugly losses, but last week’s loss to New England seemed to have fans believing the season was pretty much over.
