‘Super unique’ Cam Newton is NFL’s best quarterback, says Broncos’ Aqib Talib
The crying face meme, which has become popular with sports fans in recent years, was retweeted thousands of times and before long others were following suit with their own versions.
In the Panthers’ 49-15 rout of the Cardinals, Ginn had just two catches for 52 yards, but he made his presence felt throughout the whole game.
The Denver Broncos top-ranked defense is fully aware of the challenges facing it come Super Bowl 50 on February 7-namely Cam Newton and the Carolina Panthers offense.
Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton is set for a date against Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos for Super Bowl 50 at the Santa Clara Stadium in California. You can’t rush timid because if you do that, he’s one of those pocket quarterbacks that can get the ball deep down the field.
The Carolina Panthers are going to the Super Bowl and fans are so pumped that they’re falling out of their seats in excitement – literally! His play calling and offensive system however will likely catapult him to the top of the 2016/17 coaching candidates. Perhaps it’s no surprise, then, that ESPN’s David Newton reported chants of “MVP” from the Panthers’ hometown crowd.
Rivera is the fifth former Bears player to lead their team to the Super Bowl, joining the likes of Ditka, Sean Payton, Jeff Fisher and Jim Harbaugh.
The Panthers have reached this point with prolific performances in the regular season and in playoff victories over the Seattle Seahawks and Arizona Cardinals.
“When you give a guy a contract like that, what are you saying to him?” general manager Dave Gettleman asked. “You are put in a big-game situation like this, you’ve played it out so many times in your mind”.
Against Newton, the Broncos will have to be conscious of the Panthers’ quarterback’s mobility.
Newton presents a new challenge to a Broncos defense that was dominant all season and still raised its game to another level in the AFC championship win over New England. Newton finished 19 for 28 for 335 yards with two touchdowns and one interception, plus added a 12-yard run for a touchdown in the third quarter and finished with 47 yards on 10 rushing attempts.
