How can Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton hurt the Miami Dolphins in their crucial Week 12 matchup at the Hard Rock Stadium?
It was quite an occasion for Cam Newton and the Carolina Panthers in Week 11. A re-energized fanbase welcomed back their hero for his first start since returning to the franchise, which saw Bank of America shaken to its foundations when the former Auburn star was introduced to those in attendance.
Sadly, this wasn’t enough to give the Panthers a much-needed win against the Washington Football Team and ex-head coach Ron Rivera. Although Newton’s production was pleasing considering he’s missed a lot of football and has limited knowledge of Joe Brady’s playbook.
Newton will be under center once again at the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. A game that Carolina simply has to achieve success in pursuit of attaining a wildcard spot at the end of the season.
The stakes are high and there is no more margin for error. Here are four ways that Newton can hurt the Dolphins this weekend and lead the Panthers to victory.
Way No. 1

Cam Newton must motivate
While his production on the field will be of critical importance, Cam Newton also has a big part to play on the sidelines. The Carolina Panthers have a young roster that can let their heads drop if things go as they did against Washington, so they’ll all be looking to their signal-caller for inspiration between the white lines and away from the gridiron.
This is something that’s been prevalent throughout Newton’s career. And make no mistake, Carolina needs this more than ever if they want to get their campaign back on track.
Newton wasted no time in imposing himself within the locker room. All he can do is lead from the front – it’s up to his teammates to follow in pursuit of the same goal.
