Walker Clement of Cat Scratch Reader, SB Nation’s Carolina Panthers site, was nice enough to answer 5 questions for us ahead of Sunday’s game.
1. What’s the future at the QB position for the Panthers?
The short answer is Cam Newton. The long answer depends on Newton’s health. If he can return to form--and stay there--then the Panthers will ride with him, no further questions asked. If not, then the team is in a bind. They can save about $20 million against next year’s cap by moving on from Newton, but that doesn’t leave them with a quarterback.
