You should know that Cam Newton (shoulder) is questionable once again and has not appeared in any preseason contests yet this season — so even if he gets cleared to start against the Jaguars, he is unlikely to play more than a few minutes. Derek Anderson went 7 for 12 for 88 yards against Tennessee, tossing an interception. Cameron Artis-Payne led the way with a solid ground performance, picking up 70 yards on five attempts. Rookie Christian McCaffrey still looks special, as he gained 33 yards (and scored a touchdown) on just three attempts. If he can keep this sort of running game going into the regular season, the Panthers could make a lot of noise in that NFC South once again, giving the Falcons and Buccaneers a real run for their money.The defense remains a question for the Panthers. Linebacker Luke Kuechly (ribs) remains questionable and, given his importance in the regular season, is unlikely to take the field. This is a unit that, even with Kuechly, permitted 25.1 points per game (#26 in the NFL). Jacksonville has not been strong offensively in the last couple of years, which should be good news for the Panthers, Even so, without consistent play from the line and secondary, Carolina could give Jacksonville more room than Tampa Bay did last week.Cam was dialed in today!
