Beyond the completion percentage: How good (or bad) was Cam Newton in 2016?

Panthers quarterback Cam Newton had a season to remember in 2015. He lifted an offense without its number one wide receiver, put it on his back, and carried it to a 15-1 regular season and Super Bowl berth. Excitement was palpable coming into the 2016 season. The Panthers were coming off a season in which they had just led the league in scoring and were now adding Kelvin Benjamin back into the lineup. The last we had seen of the behemoth wide receiver, he was torching the Bills in his only preseason appearance of 2015. Surely his addition would take Cam Newton and the offense to even greater heights.
