The Facts:
Un 2011, Newton burst onto the scene looking like the league’s best young quarterback and the best rookie quarterback the NFL had ever seen. But in 2012, Newton was largely overshadowed by young quarterbacks like Andrew Luck, Robert Griffin III, Russell Wilson and Colin Kaepernick. Newton said on NFL Network that he’s not envious of the attention those other quarterbacks got, but he is motivated to show he’s the best in the business. "Am I envious? No. If anything it challenges me to get better and just remember about this league that if you’re not getting better, you’re getting forgotten," Newton said.

Given that statement, it's no surprise that Newton added: "So for this whole offseason I’ve been challenging myself, one, to lose weight, two, to become not a stronger player but a smarter player. That’s one thing I’ve been focusing on. ...” Newton said he’s working on “becoming mature about each and every situation” and that he believes the Panthers can win the NFC South this year. As PFT's Michael David Smith suggested, "If Newton can play like the best young quarterback in the league, he may have the Panthers in contention at the end of the season."
