I think it's too soon but whatever. 

You cant say anything that's not 100% Cam Newton hype right now without being called a hater.  No matter how much sense it makes.  I think it makes much sense to keep giving him more snaps each week but there is no major benefit to rushing him in full time.   Until PJ poos the bed anyways.

They're starting Cam so that they can bring him out first to the roar of the crowd. You can't bring out the backup QB first during intros. He'll probably still share snaps with PJ, and I'm sure he'll be fine with it. Cam wants his team to win above all else. That's what people who call him selfish and me-first completely ignore. Everything he does is aimed at either advancing his team's field position or getting his teammates hyped to ball out.

I can understand the thought process about needing some time to get up to speed in the offense but keep in mind that Newton is an 11 year NFL veteran. There will be a learning curve but you don't expect it to be as steep as a young player. 

Even without a full offseason, Cam should be able to get up to speed in a few weeks, even in a complex offense. Everything has it's wrinkles and terminology but the core knowledge is the same.

I would like to see PJ start and mix Cam in a little more than last Sunday.  Now if PJ plummets, then Cam takes over.  Cam needs  time to learn the team.

You have to start Cam.  It’s the first game in Charlotte.   You can script an opening drive and then let him be variation of what he was this weekend (but bigger).    

give PJ some between the 20s work so a full playbook has to be defended.   

But Cam needs to be the starter.  And eventually he becomes the full time guy when he gets enough of the system down.  

But it would be incredibly dumb not to start him and let the energy take over to start that game Sunday.   It will be nuts.

Rivera is one of the best defensive coaches in the NFL, still. His decision making in personnel is suspect and the offenses are always behind the defense, except in 2015, but his defenses are usually great assuming he has even average personnel.

Rivera’s defenses at Carolina were, on average, squarely in the middle of the rankings.

He had a couple of top 5 defenses.

He had a couple of bottom 10.

All the others generally ranged between 12 and 20.

 The defensive genius of MoRon is yet another made-up myth about his time in Carolina.

    • The other draft picks have turned out pretty well. Brooks will too.
    • I'm still not touching Hunter He again said the other day that he plans on playing both sides of the ball in the NFL.  If he is allowed to do that, he won't be as good on either side as his potential and he's going to have serious injury issues and have a short career.  If he's not allowed to do it, I think he's going to become a problem when the team isn't winning as he's going to feel him not being used on both sides of the ball is why. He's being coddled in that environment with Deion and I think it's doing a disservice to him to prepare him for life in the NFL where your coach isn't a 2nd father to you, to where you can just walk into his locker room and steal his shoes like Hunter does to Deion.
    • He’s a tad behind them. Around 15ish of 32 starters in the league. He’s well ahead of a lot of guys. Tua, Bryce, Cousins (present), Rodgers (current), Devito/Jones, Minshew, Russ (current), Watson, Smith, Carr, T Laws deep ball is weak as poo IMO, there’s plenty. And it’s not like everyone is ripping 60+ers. The key component is if you can rip and maintain velocity of the 30-40 yarders which he does super well. Legit every report out there from Brugler to PFF to PFN document him as good/above average arm strength.  Eye test tells me it’s pretty much that as well, slightly above average.
