The more you look at the statistics, the more you will be convinced: Cam Newton will be an elite quarterback in this league for a long, long time. Consider these statistics, courtesy of ESPN Stats & Information:

Only eight NFL quarterbacks have completion percentages of at least 50 percent on passes that travel farther than 20 yards in the air. The other seven average fewer than seven of such completions each. Newton has 15 for 523 yards. That's 169 more yards than any other quarterback has amassed on similar throws.

Worried about how Newton performs against the blitz because he's a rookie? Only six NFL quarterbacks have attempted 25 or more passes when a defensive back is blitzing: Newton, Eli Manning, Michael Vick, Tony Romo, Sam Bradford and Jay Cutler. Newton owns both the highest completion rate (68 percent) among those quarterbacks in that situation and the highest NFL passer rating (137.5) as well.

It's really interesting to see him lined up against some of the top QBs in the league when it comes to stats.

Legedu Naanee, Carolina Panthers (11 targets, 4 receptions, 27 yards): Don't get excited about Naanee's 11 targets, as he caught just 36 percent of the passes thrown his way. Of course, that was a marked improvement from the 29 percent of passes that he caught going into this game. With a season average below 33 percent, Naanee shouldn't be a blip on the fantasy radar.

From that same article. Ugh.

The other day on "NFL Live" Merril Hoge said: The Panthers have more wide opened receivers than any other team in the league.

Now, I'm not sure if that was a "sneak diss" and shot at Cam, but I'll take it.

i think we also have a new offensive scheme that allows our receivers to get open instead of 5 routes that are run every game.
