Rivera's one-word response as to how Cam has performed: "Wow"

[lightsout]

This same situation under Fox, "Jimmy is our guy. I have the utmost confidence and he will be the starter come week 1."

or

"They're both good. We'll see. It is what it is."

Either way, as previously stated, this is much better. I like how Rivera isn't committing, but I KNOW he is already leaning towards Newton. Just got that feeling after that article and seeing both Cam and Jimmy in 11 on 11s last night. I just feel like by the middle of next week, Cam will be working in the "starting role" and getting about 75% of the snaps in practice and will take the field with the 1s on the 13th. Just sayin'.

...and Rivera is known around the league as a straight shooter, he isn't in to giving false praise.

I'm not Ron Rivera, but when I saw some of the things Cam did on the first day of practice I said "wow".

What Cam Newton will have to do to impress me.

In no particular oder:

1. Lead the panthers to no less then 2 Superbowl victories

2. Walk on water

3. Fix the economy

4. Be officially recognized by the Pope as the 2nd Coming

5. Be the star in some super pretentious Nike Video

6. Kill more dogs then even Mike Vick, go to jail for a couple years, and then come back to the NFL even better then before after he is re-signed by the Eagles

Rivera said "Wow" after like 3 practices so I think this is all entirely possible.

Anything else we should add to the list?

Cam Newton will assume MV7's throne as best player in the world in 4 or 5 years.
