The Panthers were Cam Newton‘s team for nine seasons. He won a league MVP award and led the Panthers to a Super Bowl.
Newton, though, is in New England, and for the first time since 2010, the Panthers have a No. 1 quarterback not named Newton.
For the first time since 2015, Teddy Bridgewater is a No. 1 quarterback.
“One of the biggest problems I had my first year in New Orleans was I wanted to be like Drew [Brees],” Bridgewater said Monday in a conference call, via Myles Simmons of the team website.
