The
Carolina Panthers have started the season 0-2, with losses to the Rams and the
Bucs. The Panthers have been competitive
in both games and look to get their first win this Sunday when they travel to
Arizona to face a winless Cardinals team at 0-1-1.
The
match up is intriguing as it is a battle of two talented QB’s that can also run
the ball, Cam newton vs. Kyler Murray.
Murray, of the Cardinals, has thrown for 300 plus yards in each of his
first two games in the NFL. The only
other guy to do so, Cam Newton. Newton
threw for 400 plus yards in his first two games and one was against the
cardinals.
This
match up that everyone wants to see may not even happen. Newton sprained his left foot in week three
of the preseason and reportedly has reaggravated the injury. Newton did not practice yesterday and his
status for Sunday is up in the air.
If
newton does not play that means backup Kyle Allen will get the start. This match up will also be interesting because
Allen is from Arizona and has direct ties to Kyler Murray. In 2015 they both played at Texas A&M
where Allen was the starter but eventually replaced by Murray. The irony of the situation is that they both
ended up transferring to different schools.
Murray went on to win the Heisman and be the number one overall pick in
the draft. Allen went undrafted last
season but did find his way onto an NFL roster last season with the Panthers.
