Anleitungen » The Panthers went out of their way to make sure

everyone knew they weren’t trying to replace Cam Newton when they drafted another quarterback last week.And in case you were wondering if Newton felt pressure from the addition of West Virginia’s Will Grier with the 100th overall pick Donte Jackson Jersey White , he does not.Via Josh Sims of Fox 46, Newton was asked about the addition of Grier during the grand opening of his cigar bar/restaurant in Atlanta.“A lot of people, the natural, . . . would think that I feel intimidated,” Newton said. “And that’s not the case here.“I reached out to Will https://www.pantherslockerroom.com/authentic-dj-moore-jersey , and I actually saw him play in high school with him being in Charlotte. And I’m just excited. Like I said, for him to come on a team that I know he possesses a rare talent, and I’m excited. . . . It’s my job to put myself and my team in the best situation, and get everybody ready, . . . I want to make sure that I’m [the] best teammate and my best self for everyone.”Grier grew up near Charlotte https://www.pantherslockerroom.com/authentic-curtis-samuel-jersey , so Newton getting a first-hand look at his new backup lends some familiarity to the process. The Panthers hadn’t drafted a quarterback since taking Newton first overall in 2011, and Grier brings a level of talent to the backup spot they haven’t enjoyed in years. Panthers offensive coordinator Norv Turner said this week that he would like to cut back on running back Christian McCaffrey‘s snaps without cutting back on how often he gets the ball this season.Finding ways to ensure McCaffrey stays fresh is a good idea, especially after he was on the field for more than 91 percent of the team’s snaps. If one was inclined to look for a downside to that approach, one would be that the offense might be easier to read when McCaffrey is off the field.That’s not something that worries head coach Ron Rivera.“We want the ball in Christian’s hands,” Rivera said Blue Matt Paradis Jersey , via ESPN.com. “When he’s on the field, there’s no reason for him to be a decoy or swing guy. Why not figure out the best thing, and that’s what Coach Norv wants to do.”The Panthers have Cameron Artis-Payne, Jordan Scarlett, Elijah Holyfield and Reggie Bonnafon on the depth chart behind McCaffrey and seeing one of those players step up as a clear No. 2 will make it easier to take McCaffrey off the field for any reason.
