It took almost eight years

Trai Turner Color Rush Jersey , y’all, but Cam Newton has finally become a good quarterback. The former first round pick turned in a performance for the ages against the Dallas Cowboys and has pulled his season average completion percentage up to 65%. As we all know, completing 65% of your passes on average is the absolute benchmark for good quarterbacking. It’s a black and white standard.I assume that is the story of the season. I assume that everybody who spent years claiming that Newton was overrated during his 2015 NFL MVP season, who was clamoring for Derek Anderson to start, and who has, for months, been trying to buy passage on the Taylor Heinicke bandwagon has now been quieted. That their support has been thrown unequivocally behind Cameron Jerrell Newton, efficient passer of the football, as the quarterback of the Carolina Panthers for now and hereafter.Never we mind that Newton has averaged almost 40 yards a game on the ground. Never we mind that those yards often came on critical third and fourth down opportunities. Those yards and those plays aren’t valuable when produced by a quarterback and neither are the 55 touchdowns he has rushed for since entering the league.The Panthers stuck by their first overall pick for longer than many franchises would have. His ascendancy to being a good and relevant quarterback in his eighth season qualifies him as a late bloomer. Other first overall picks didn’t receive as much as time as Newton has to prove that they were good quarterbacks. Alex Smith only received seven seasons in San Francisco Taylor Moton Jersey , which is mathematically less than Newton’s eight. David Carr, meanwhile, was released after four seasons by the Houston Texans.Ironically, both of those quarterbacks became good in their last seasons with their original teams. They posted 70% and 68.9% completion ratings respectively. Maybe that is the sign that this is Newton’s final year. Maybe the Panthers are just letting Derek Anderson rest for a season so that he can take the league by storm in 2019.It will be a tough call for general manager Marty Hurney, to be sure. On the one hand, Newton is now a good quarterback. On the other hand, the Panthers probably have a better chance of making the Super Bowl without him. It’s not like he ever proved capable of carrying their entire offense — kicking and screaming — through the playoffs all by himself.As for 2018, Newton will probably try to maintain his performance as a good quarterback. He can do that if he keeps his season average completion percentage above 65%, I’m told. That will probably mean he has to stop running so gosh darn much. Smiling Wes Horton Color Rush Jersey , too. That’s OK, though. The Panthers have never been hurt by leaving a few first downs on the table, letting drives stall out, and not scoring in the red zone. Last week I wondered how Washington could be favored over the Panthers. While I doubt the odds makers foresaw the 3-0 turnover differential, Washington and quarterback Alex Smith proved to be a tough opponent for the Panthers. Without the turnovers or with a little better decision making down the stretch and they might have pulled this one out. Actually I know they would have pulled it out. If only the Panthers had scored they would have a much better attitude about the team. I also would have won my parlay bet. I was dead on with my other two picks. The Chiefs 40-43 loss to the Patriots covered the 3.5 point spread nicely and the underdog Steelers (+2) won outright over the Bengals on the road. So maybe we can all blame me for the Panthers loss last Sunday in Washington because I violated my number one rule.Rule No. 1: Never bet on the Panthers to winI violated my own rule and it cost me $20, or maybe the $140 I would have won if I had made a better third pick in my three team parlay bet. Which brings me to Week 7 but please know betting on the Panthers game over/under is not a rule. Why not? It is certainly the game I have the best feel for how many points might be scored. The over/under is 45 points.TopBet.euMy gut feeling is to take the over 45 but since I’m still sunburned from last week I think I will look elsewhere to fill my three team parlay bet. I do think the Panthers offense will match their season average of 24 points but I can’t see the defense holding the Eagles under 30 points. I’m thinking something like 31-24 Eagles.Derek Anderson (DA) anyone?Anderson is going to start in Buffalo on the road against the Colts as 7.5 point dogs. Since he has a full week to prepare I think DA will light it up...for half the game. The Buffalo defense is playing much better and the Colts offense is struggling due to injuries. While I like the Bills +7.5 I also like the under of 43.5. I feel better about the under here so will go with that.My next selection is Chiefs (-6) over the Bengals. The Chiefs will be eager to put their loss to the Patriots behind them and so I see an easy seven point win or more. Other picks I like:I really like the Texans +5 at Jacksonville. They have won three in a row and Texans quarterback DeShaun Watson is playing much better.I also question the Saints +2 at Baltimore. Talk about no respect. Or might it just be the Ravens are a different, and much better, team at home. The Cowboys are getting two points in Washington but I like the over 41.5 points better. Yes these are two of the better scoring defenses in the league but I think offense will rule the day. So in summary I’m going with this:So what do you think? Are you going to throw in a bet too?
