CHARLOTTE, NC – Cam Newton still believes he’s one of the 32 best quarterbacks in the NFL and that the current perception people have of him comes from putting himself in a “f — ed-up ” situation with the Carolina Panthers last season.<\/p>\n

“I signed on Thursday. I played on Sunday, ” the 2015 NFL MVP said on” The Pivot Podcast ” hosted by ESPN’s Ryan Clark and former NFL players Channing Crowder and Fred Taylor. “At what point did you think you was going to be successful? The next week, I started. That’s still under 10 days of you being on the team. And you’re still trying to learn the offense.<\/p>\n

“So before I sit up here and allow the narrative to be made that Cam ain’t got it no more, Cam is taking full responsibility and saying Cam put himself in a f — ed-up situation, which then had a ricochet effect to people thinking [how they think of me]. ”<\/p>\n

Newton, 33, is a free agent. He spent the final eight games with the Panthers last season after being signed in November when starter Sam Darnold was placed on injured reserve with a shoulder injury.<\/p>\n

Four days later, in a backup role, Newton scored on his first two plays – a 2-yard run and a 2-yard pass – to help the Panthers to an upset win at Arizona.<\/p>\n

He started the next five games, going 0-5 with three touchdown passes and five interceptions. He also had four rushing touchdowns.<\/p>\n
