The article posted below was in Friday's Charlotte newspaper right after the 36-7 loss to the Gaints on Thursday night.
Steve Smith, the 12th-year wideout and the team’s emotional leader, said he “lit into” Newton in the final minutes of the Panthers’ 36-7 loss to the Giants on Thursday. After Newton was pulled from the game following his third interception with 6:25 remaining, Smith told last season’s Rookie of the Year to get off the bench and stop sulking.
Backup quarterback Derek Anderson began warming up on the sideline and entered the game with about a minute left for the final series.
“I watched D.A. and Jimmy (Clausen), they don’t play in 20-something games last year. And they get up and they observe and learn and get those mental reps,” Smith said Friday. “I told (Newton), ‘You can get some mental reps or you can sit on that bench and sulk.’ ”
