Newton and Dalton greeted each other at the hotel before Wednesday's opening practice.

"We were able to come in and the teams trusted us to come in and lead the team," Dalton said. "So I think it's great. We just came out and did what we were able to do — just be ourselves and it worked out for both of us. We both came into great situations."

I know Dalton played very well, but the season he had doesn't come close to the season Cam had.

Great quotes from Cam:

Newton is backing up Brees and Rodgers, and doesn't mind starting on the bench.

"I idolized them throughout the year, watched so much film on them how they play the game from the check downs, to the way they throw, to everything," Newton said. "Lo and behold, we're on the same roster.

"So I'm watching and learning. What better way to learn than firsthand? I don't really don't mind, especially to these two MVP candidates. I'll be second string to that, man," he said.

The Panthers missed the playoffs after finishing 6-10, but Newton promises he has a lot more to offer as his game matures.

"I've had an unbelievable and blessed year, but at the same time, I feel the best is yet to come for Cam Newton," he said. "I'm going to continue to work hard and push myself."

Looking back at game film of himself, Newton said there were things he was happy with and some things that were "disgusting to look at."

"That's why you grow into the game and watch film on yourself to see yourself now and see yourself in the future," he said.

and on the Panthers future

And to Newton, the future is bright in Carolina, which is looking to become a playoff contender.

"The Carolina Panthers, coach (Ron) Rivera, (General Manager) Marty Hurney and (owner) Jerry Richardson, they have everybody's interest at heart and they're going to do what's the best for this team," Newton said. "That's something I do know and I can attest to. This team, this organization is going in the right direction to be an elite playoff team and contender year in and year out."

I really like him there with Brees and Rodgers. Both strike me as the types of players that would be happy to answer any questions he had.

Yup, it's a great experience for him to spend a week around those guys.

Neither should be there, but Dalton REALLY shouldn't.

I consider dalton in the same league, they will forever be compared due to being drafted together. And what dalton said was true both teams drafted them with full intent to have as their starter and they both did very well.

Cam's in the conversation for greatest rookie season of all time, haven't heard Dalton mentioned in that conversation.

Dalton played very well, but the season he had is not in the same class as the season Cam had.

I don't think Dalton ever said anything like that. I think Dalton and Newton are definitely in the same league. It will take another season or two before Newton can really pull away.

Wrong.

[Dpantherman]

Stafford had a GREAT year, but his season any other year he gets in. Newton put up these numbers as a ROOKIE. He earned it.

As for Dalton, have you seen the AFC QBs this year? Who's left, The Golden Calf of Bristol? Not to mention Dalton had a pretty damn good year himself.

[Spaceballs83]

Still trying to comprehend that we have a GREAT QB. Many years of bad QB play seems still there. Is Surreal i tell you that.

You're right. All Cam did was break just about every record possible. But I agree, Gerbert is way more deserving
