Who would have thought that the minute Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton and the Denver Broncos Peyton Manning took the field in Super Bowl 50, they would both be playing in their last meaningful game? A bold statement, yes, but bold is what has been missing from the offense since the end of 2015.
I am not a Newton hater and bought my son a jersey over the summer hoping that it would show the football gods I still believed in him. However, in my opinion, the Los Angeles and Tampa Bay losses were a goodbye tour for Newton in Carolina.
