Week 1 – @ Jacksonville – W 20-9
QB: Newton suffered throwing to lesser talent and was rushed a bit. Should be better going forward but a little concerned about the talent around him right now.
RB: Stewart an okay game but it was a tough match up. Still looks really good when he gets room and should be a strong RB2.
WR: Corps is looking pretty ugly right now. Cotchery might be the most consistent fantasy player but isn’t going to put up huge numbers. Ginn just isn’t a starting WR. Need to see much more of Funchess.
TE: Olsen blanketed in this one and this could be a sign of things to come. Could be a really down year unless something changes with the WRs.
OL: Not great overall and needs a fair amount of work. The pass protection was a little better in this one but not by much. Both are still below average right now.
Def: Decent game against bad QB play. Was getting run on, especially after Kuechly injury, and might be a weakness. Gave up no big games.
