This is not a game I expected to bother reviewing despite being a die-hard Cardinals fan. Both teams were expected to be woefully inept, and although this game did little to boost either team’s stock, one player certainly turned some heads with his performance.
Although the Cardinals ran-out 28-21 winners, it was Carolina’s Cam Newton – the Number 1 Draft pick – that stole the headlines.
Newton’s showing was spectacular. 2 Touchdowns and 1 interception is pretty standard (although decent for a rookie in his first real game), but 422 yards? Ridiculous…
We will see if Newton can really throw the football when he faces stiff opposition – at times the Cardinals looked like they were playing a man short – but it bodes well that his disposition is such that handling the pressures of the NFL spotlight seems a non-issue.
Well done Cam…we will follow your career with interest…
It's my birthday by the way...
