Dealing with a sore shoulder, the quarterback is unable to drive the ball down the field, which has hindered the entire Panthers operation. Newton is skipping passes, tossing short ducks, and not stretching the defense either vertical or horizontal. In Monday night's loss, Newton didn't attempt a single pass of more 20-plus air-yards downfield, and just four attempts of 29 traveled 10-plus air-yards, one of which was completed to his target.
