Rivera wants to see Cam Newton, offense evolve
Cam NewtonCHARLOTTE – When asked about on Monday, head coach Ron Rivera strongly hinted that changes are coming for the star quarterback and the entire offense.
“There are a lot of things we’re going to look at,” Rivera said. “We get and understand that some things have to evolve around him, because he’s evolving as a quarterback as well. He’s getting older and he’s going to be a different style player. We know that much.”

There are a number of factors that have led to the decreased productivity from the entire unit.
