CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton has more weapons around him than at any point in his career. The 2015 NFL MVP and the offense won’t be limited because of Newton’s offseason shoulder surgery and a preseason ankle injury. The offense will be explosive.
These were things written and said coming out of training camp.
None have come to fruition, and because of that the Panthers’ season is on the brink of disaster after 20-14 prime-time loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and an 0-2 start.
The Bucs came out with a defensive formula other teams are sure to follow.
