Preseason Week 1: Carolina 20, Giants 10

The Cam Newton era in Carolina has begun.  Panther fans started booing Jimmy Clausen almost immediately, and were chanting "Cam Cam" after four minutes into the first quarter.  He can do no wrong in Charlotte and Jimmy Clausen can do no right.

5 Things you need to know:

1.  Newton is the fan favorite even though the other two quarterbacks scored touchdowns, and he did not.
2.  The Panthers did not have a single draw play on 3rd and long last night, which pleased many fans.
3.  After Newton's second incomplete pass in the end zone, he was given a standing ovation by the entire Panthers stadium.
4.  By the looks of last night, the Panthers will not be nearly as bad this year as people expect them to be.
5.  Cam WILL be the starter, eventually, just not as quickly as "Cam Nation" wants him to be.
