I thought Newton was accurate early in the game, but then he declined. Rex Grossman is like that. Michael Vick used to be like that. Streaky. But Newton is a rookie, so he could improve, and if he gets consistent with his accuracy he could really be something.
I agree about the two-yard pass. By NFL standards, it was not difficult. Jim Mora may be the dumbest announcer out there. He annoyed me throughout the game. The worst was when a Carolina receiver blatantly pushed off and got called for it--on the replay you could see the arm extension and everything--and Mora said "that happens on every play" and it shouldn't have been called. It's no wonder this guy failed as a head coach. He just doesn't seem very bright.
