Smith may get that quarterback this year if rookie No. 1 draft pick Cam Newton can materialize into the player the Panthers believe he can be.

Newton has an infectious smile.

He also comes with a little more street credibility than Clausen, a point that can’t be underestimated. For the past several weeks Smith has been working out in Charlotte with Newton, not Clausen. Sure, Clausen has been on the other side of the country, but Newton is a guy Smith may see a little bit of himself in.

“We mesh,” Smith said of his relationship with Newton.

At Smith’s youth football camp in June, he and Newton played touch football with 9- and 10-year-olds for hours. When the kids were out of energy, Smith and Newton were still going. He’s a little shier than Smith, but Newton is as much of a kid as Smith is.

Maybe he’s the one who can help Smith find his smile again.

newton more shy than smith? interesting.

i can see newton having a really positive effect on smith. the guys positive attitude is contagious.

And if you switch it around, I think Smitty is going to have a great effect on Cam too. To be a rookie and shown respect by Smith, he's going to take that pretty seriously and work hard to keep it I think.

Great points! Definitely a symbiotic deal here... This is gonna be an awesome season. And Cam didn't even have to bring him any Cactus Coolers.

clausen just has that face everyone wants to punch no one wonder steve smith didn't practice with him.

Steve has had a hard time not punching non-punchable faces in the past, so I don't blame him for having a hard time being around such a punchable face. :boxing_smiley:

That being said, at the Fan Fest and Caravan Tours (if it's still called that), they should bring Clausen along and have a "face punching" booth, free with pictures after the punch.

      Dave Tepper gives Canales and Dan Morgan vote of confidence

      By electro's horse · Posted

      Here comes Frankw and his pathetic little persecution complex to claim I have a personal vendetta against one of the worst performing coaches in the league if anything I should love Canales because he’s walking proof that through the lord all things AREN'T possible.  This kind of performance is exactly what you’d expect from someone who filled the building with misunderstood Bible quotes about iron forging iron and inspired speeches about how he apologized for his infidelity by buying his wife a book deal.  once more into the breech dear friends, just like when I paid a stripper for an above the pants hand job in Orlando.

      Has this game changed feelings about Young?

      As dumb as it probably sounds, we should have won that game.  Defense was bad but Bryce should have been better.  Pass rush isn't a good enough excuse.

      You and I both know there isn't a coach we could or can still hire that can "fix" Bryce Young. Even at mighty Alabama with one of the best modern coaches in college football history Mac Jones was still a better QB than Bryce Young. Mac Jones.... We already know how you feel about Canales on a personal level so in that regard you wanting him fired is not news. You don't have to disguise it behind this shroud of rabble about not fixing Bryce Young. To his credit he somehow had us competive against the Chiefs and the Eagles on the road with #9. But no coaching staff can overcome their starting QB turning the ball over 4 times. We definitely have developed some of our younger offensive pieces. And as far as Evero goes he has earned criticism and if he's fired so be it but in his defense many of us said in the offseason this defensive roster was a disaster waiting to happen given the resources we spent on the offense while neglecting the defense. That was Dan Morgan's plan. He swung too hard toward offense to salvage the Bryce Young trade. That's on him. We can scream about XL all we want but at least he's actually been on the field for the most part. The Brooks pick was a luxury pick at the time and now it is a Hurney level blunder. Dan Morgan has gotten a lot of early praise here when in reality he's unequivocally deserving of significant criticism. But if you say that some people get up in arms because he's a former Panther. Big whoop. He has just as much to prove this upcoming season as Canales. That's why to me in my own personal opinion I say one more season and then if it's more of the same say goodbye to both.
