CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton had an eventful bye week.
Newton visited a haunted house, rode Go-Karts, went to a movie and played video games — “a lot of video games,” he said Wednesday.
It all sounded fun and relaxing – except the time Newton spent reflecting on the first five games of the season.
But Newton said that self-evaluation was instructive. Newton, the AP Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2011, said he realized he’d gotten away from some of the small things that made him successful, and had a talk with his father about being a leader when times are tough.
Newton also said he returned from the long weekend confident the Panthers (1-4) still have plenty to play for, although the turnaround has to start Sunday against Dallas.
“I think it’s a big challenge for everybody to see what we can do because everything is still possible,” Newton said. “The season is far (from) a wash. It’s time for us to prove it. There’s a lot of expectations going into this season. And for us to get the vibe going and pick up the vibe for this whole season, it’s just going to have to start this game.”
