Mixed reviews for Panthers QB Cam Newton
Monday, August 1, 2011, 10:13pm

There were some spot-on frozen ropes and a few balls that sailed beyond receivers or tailed behind them. There was a botched handoff in which the ball ended up on the ground and there was the moment of brilliance we saw so much of in college when the quarterback tucked the ball and ran for roughly a 20-yard gain.

We're talking about rookie Cam Newton’s first padded practice as a member of the Carolina Panthers. It was a mixed bag, filled with flashes of potential and the usual rookie mistakes. Nobody’s ready to declare Newton the starter over Jimmy Clausen. In fact, the Panthers added another competitor when free-agent Derek Anderson walked out to the practice field to watch after passing his physical and signing his contract.

“It’s so early that it’s hard to get a true assessment of where we’re at,’’ offensive coordinator Rob Chudzinski said. “We’ve only been out here a few days.’’

It’s likely the Panthers will go through virtually all of training camp and their preseason games before settling on a starter. But the early verdict is that Newton is doing pretty much what you’d expect.

The Carolina Panthers will meet with free agent quarterback Derek Anderson on Monday.

Panthers general manager Marty Hurney confirmed there won't be a workout, but the team will sit down and meet with the 28-year-old journeyman quarterback.

Some on the staff already know him. The 6-foot-6, 235-pound Anderson has a history with Panthers offensive coordinator Rob Chudzinski, who coached him to the Pro Bowl during the 2007 season with Cleveland Browns. Anderson threw for 3,787 yards and 29 touchdown passes that season.
