The Panthers defended Cam Newton via social media after Colin Cowherd made less than flattering remarks about their quarterback’s style of play.
During his radio show on Friday, Cowherd discussed his thoughts on quarterbacks who are proficient at running with the football. Among his comments were that style works more in high school and college than it does in the NFL and that it is an “easy, lazy way to play quarterback.” You can hear his thoughts below.

The Panthers, via their Twitter account, came to Newton’s defense and roasted Cowherd by making reference of his tendency to provide “hot takes.”
