Cam Newton is 'pretty doggone good' when relaxed and having fun

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Perhaps seeing his 1998 Dodge truck on its side with the roof smashed in was the best thing to happen to Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton. He learned to better appreciate life. He learned not to take football so seriously. He learned to have fun playing football again. And when Newton is having fun, the Panthers typically have fun as well. “He’s probably the only one that can really explain it, but I know when I visited him in the hospital and just listening to him, I felt like he felt this was enlightening,’’ Carolina coach Ron Rivera said on Wednesday.
