I'll second that detractor statement. I wasn't on Newton's bandwagon at all, especially after his horrible preseason, and true this is one game, but 422 yards and 3 combined touchdowns is impressive, and is only made more impressive that he's a rookie making his first career start. Kudos to him. It remains to be seen if he will be consistent week to week but he certainly couldn't have gotten off to a better start.
