Peter King on Cam and Carolina

[UNCrules2187]

Let’s assume Atlanta loses in Green Bay tonight. The three NFC South teams would be separated by a half game … and, amazingly, any of the three teams could win the division by winning the final three games on its schedule. Each team, too, could think it’s the best team, based on one recent result: Atlanta over Arizona 29-16 last week; New Orleans over Pittsburgh 35-32 last week; and Carolina over New Orleans 41-10 this week. My pick to win the division? Carolina, with the impressive 1-6 record since week six.

Offensive Players of the Week

 

Cam Newton, quarterback, Carolina. This was the first time all year that we got Classic Cam, the multiple threat as a passer and runner, and the vocal leader of his team, and the Superman thing, whether you like it all or not. This is the Newton that Carolina needs to be great, and great he was in the 41-10 rout of the Saints at the Superdome. He was 21 of 33 for 226 yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions—and he ran it 12 times for 83 yards and a touchdown … the 2-yard TD run that resulted in a mini-brawl after the Saints took exception to Newton’s Superman celebration. The Panthers looked like the best team in a bad division Sunday afternoon, and Newton was the reason.

1. I think this is what I liked about Week 14:

 

b. Cam Newton’s well-placed touchdown throw to Kelvin Benjamin to put the Saints behind the 8-ball early in New Orleans. Newton has taken too much of the blame for the bare-cupboard offense he was given.

• The best team in the NFC South is 4-8-1. Carolina could actually win the fourth seed in the NFC playoffs. “We’re honestly not worried about it,” Cam Newton said from New Orleans after the Panthers beat the Saints into submission. “All we can control is how we play. That’s all we’re focused on.” Evidently they took a crash course in “focus” last week. Carolina hadn’t won in 62 days before Sunday, and yet, the Panthers enter the last three weeks with a remarkably good chance to make the playoffs. Can you imagine Seattle at Carolina on wild-card weekend

He can still eat a bag of 'em though.

Man, I would love another shot at the chickens.

 

Fourth time's the charm right?

[fieryprophet]

I wish he would never talk about us ever again. He's a walking fat jinx.

I'm glad we have the next game up mentality back, and not that retarded "we're still in it" and "It's a 5 game playoff now, we win out and we're in."

[CatMan72]

Wait, did King just give Cam credit for something? 

[Jon Snow]

fug Peter King

[Hammerin'Cameron34]

Id feel a lot better if I knew the Saints didn't have to lose a game.

Please please please someone beat the Saints

[Cary Kollins]

It looks like Cam talked to King after the game, so King rewards that with positive words.

 

He probably had another piece ready to go if Cam turned down the interview.

Whoa Olsen throwing shade at Shula

 

 

 

ohhh ohh ohhh

 

Olsen's going to be looking for a job next week!!!

[Luke Cage]

Haha whatever. He's a fat opinionated fool who was placed on his pedestal by equally foolish and useless individuals.

I do enjoy how he's genuflecting and "kissing the ring" so to speak.
