I watched most of the fourth quarter and overtime. Luck is Luck, but he looks to be favoring something. He doesn't have the same crispness on his passes as we have been accustomed to. The last pass he threw was forced into coverage and I was at least happy that Keuchly was given most of the credit. Without him, the Carolina defense is very limited.
Give Newton some credit, when his first read is open, he does throw a nice ball, impressive even. And he's a very intimidating runner to most defenders. But comparisons to, well, any top-tier QBs like Brady, Manning (either one), etc. is just caste foolishness.
It's tough to root against the Panthers with Keuchly and Klein on D, and the uncoverable Greg Olsen on offense. Unfortunately, sCam gets all the credit, even with his 55% completion percentage and terrible TD to TO percentage.
By the way, is it me, or was Griff Whalen open every single time that he was on the field?? The last few snaps, he wasn't in the lineup and I knew that the Colts were screwed.
