CHARLOTTE, n.C. — Cam Newton is reminding everyone he can beat teams with his right arm.
Newton is viewed as perhaps the NFL's best rushing quarterback, but this year he's putting up Tom Brady-like numbers in the passing game for the unbeaten Carolina Panthers.
Newton has thrown for 3,402 yards and already shattered his career-high with 33 touchdown passes in 14 games. Only Brady, with 35, has thrown for more TD passes than Newton.
The Panthers' QB has been on a tear of late — with 18 touchdown passes in the past five games, including three five-TD games — and has the league's sixth-best passer rating.
