Those who look to the past are certain to miss the future. That was the prevalent theme for the Carolina Panthers on Thursday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Matt Rhule: A healthy Cam Newton is a special player.<\/strong><\/h1>\n

\u2018I know he can help us win\u2019: How Cam Newton became a Panther (again)<\/strong><\/h1>\n

\u201cHe loves Charlotte. He loves the Carolina Panthers. He made that very clear to me,\u201d Rhule said.<\/strong><\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cObviously, we brought Cam because of who he is at quarterback, and we brought him here to play,\u201d Rhule said. \u201cBut we\u2019re not looking into the future. We\u2019ve just got to get him here and start teaching him what we do. At the end of day, I talked to Cam. He told me he\u2019s healthy and feels great. This is as healthy as he\u2019s been. A healthy Cam Newton is a special player. So we\u2019ll just take it day by day.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

After the team announced its signing<\/a> of Cam Newton, head coach Matt Rhule squashed the notion of any perceived beef between himself and his new quarterback. Rhule, whose 20-minute presser was almost exclusively about Cam\u2019s return (duh), told reporters that what\u2019s done is done and now it\u2019s about winning.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cCam Newton is a pro.\u201d Rhule said when asked if both sides had to clear the air of Newton\u2019s unceremonious release<\/a> last year. \u201cWe made a football decision at the time, based on his health. We weren\u2019t sure what his health was. We had to make kind of a decision at the time.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cAnd Cam understands that. He understands these are football decisions. He understands that these are football decisions, football-based evaluations that you have to make. So there wasn\u2019t anything but an amicable conversation.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Newton, who was recovering from nagging injuries to his right shoulder and left foot when Rhule was hired, was shown the door after a largely successful nine-year tenure with the organization. Their handling of the split from their franchise\u2019s leading passer, however, could\u2019ve gone a little more smoothly than it did.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Regardless\u2014Rhule, Newton and owner David Tepper are all grown men with one common goal and that\u2019s to bring W\u2019s back to Carolina. And that\u2019s also something Rhule knows Newton can do.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cAt the end of the day, Cam and I\u00a0did\u00a0<\/em>spend two months together,\u201d Rhule went on. \u201cHe was in here rehab and treatment trying to get his shoulder right. I did see him several days a week. So I did have a good feel for who he is. And I know that he\u2019s a competitor. Besides his talent\u2014I know he\u2019s a competitor, I know that he\u2019s tough, I know that he\u2019s everything I believe in and talk about.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n
