Thoughts on Saints-Panthers

• There were question marks about Cam Newton coming into the season. I wouldn't say they've all been answered yet but I'd say enough of them have been answered that I wish he was in another division. As a Saints fan, he concerns me much more than Matt Ryan or Josh Freeman already.
• With every long, game-winning drive, Drew Brees' agent says cha-ching. I can hear it all the way in Bush.
• Never thought I'd say this but the Saints need to diversify their offense. They are looking for and going to Graham and Sproles too much. Those guys are doing a great job but the Saints have a ton of playmakers and they're all more effective if the defense has to account for them. They need to spread the ball around more and let the other guys make some plays.
• Still waiting for this defense to get better. Don't think we've found the answers at outside linebacker.
• Call it the Brett Favre effect but I think the Saints are getting called for way too many roughing the passer penalties mainly because of the reputation they earned, right or wrong, after the NFC Championship game and because of Gregg Williams subsequent "remember me" silliness.
