Just two years removed from being named league MVP, Cam Newton and the passing game has become the Carolina Panthers biggest weakness. Through 3 games—two of which were the 49ers and Saints—Newton has thrown for just 188.7 yards per game, with 2 touchdowns to 4 interceptions. His ANY/A (an efficiency stat that is currently the best isolated stat for evaluating the performance of QB’s) is a horrid 3.74, and he has taken more than 3 sacks per game.
Not all of this is on Newton. His receiving corps is sub-par and his offensive tackles are probably the weakest position group on the team.
