CHARLOTTE — There are moments when he drops back and launches the deep ball like Aaron Rodgers, other moments when he improvises like a king-sized Russell Wilson. He runs the option as easily as some quarterbacks run the no-huddle — and he runs it as part of his own ultra-efficient no-huddle.
And when he takes off and runs? He does so with the caution of a QB — until he gets near the goal line and transforms into a bruising, brawling running back.
It’s a rare blend of talents that is almost unfair. And Cam Newton knows it.
