Cam Newton and Jameis Winston know there's no surefire way for a quarterback to lead a team out of a funk.What works in one situation may not necessarily be the answer in another.Newton's second-place Carolina Panthers (6-5) have lost three straight games following a 6-2 start http://www.pantherscheapshop.com/cheap-authentic-david-mayo-jersey , moving closer to the bottom of the NFC South than the top.Winston's getting another chance to lead the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4-7) out of the division cellar after spending a month on the bench because of his propensity for making costly mistakes."In the NFL, part of winning is not losing, not beating yourself," Bucs coach Dirk Koetter said, reflecting on Winston delivering his best performance of the season to help Tampa Bay stop a four-game skid last week."You have to just keep it simple," said Winston, who lost his starting job after turning the ball over 11 times in 14 quarters.The fourth-year pro said the difference during last week's 27-9 rout of San Francisco was his decisiveness with the football."I'm thinking about one play at a time, one completion at a time, one game at a time," Winston said. "It's easier to keep it simple when you're decisive, making quick decisions and getting the ball out of your hands."The Panthers haven't won since beating the Bucs 42-28 at home on Nov. 4. Kicking woes factored in narrow losses the past two weeks to Detroit and Seattle, however, and Newton said he's focused on the next opportunity to get back on track.Win or lose, he has learned you give yourself 24 hours to get over the excitement or disappointment."You can either celebrate or sulk and sob," the Carolina quarterback said. "After that 24 hours is up Womens Ian Thomas Jersey , let it go. That has been so helpful for me in my growth as a man."For Winston, Sunday's game against the Panthers represents the next test in what amounts to an audition to determine if he's Tampa Bay's quarterback of the future.The 24-year-old didn't face the Panthers last time. He was benched after throwing four interceptions the previous week at Cincinnati.Some things to watch when the NFC South rivals meet:NEWTON LIKES WHERE HE'S ATNewton said this week he's playing the best football of his career, despite a three-game losing streak.Newton has thrown at least two TD passes in 10 straight games and seems to be thriving in Norv Turner's offensive scheme."I'm just feeling in control," Newton said. "There are no question marks. My assuredness of every single play I know exactly what I'm supposed to do."McCAFFREY ON THE RUNChristian McCaffrey last week became the first Panthers running back to eclipse 100 yards rushing and 100 yards receiving in the same game. His 237 yards from scrimmage against the Seahawks were the most in franchise history.McCaffrey had 157 yards from scrimmage and two TDs rushing in the last meeting with the Bucs.Newton joked that you shouldn't call the 5-foot-10, 205-pound McCaffrey "small," because he hates being labeled a small back."C-Mac has defied all odds," Newton said. "With C-Mac, he has always been a workhorse. He's always been a playmaker. There's no denying that. My thing is when you draft a person, is he comfortable with the game on the line?"WHERE ARE THE TURNOVERSCarolina's defense has thrived on takeaways over the years, but they have been struggling in that area of late. The Panthers haven't forced a turnover in the three games since they last played the Buccaneers. In that game they intercepted Ryan Fitzpatrick twice.EVANS VS. BRADBERRYIn the last meeting, Carolina cornerback James Bradberry put the clamps on Bucs receiver Mike Evans, holding Tampa Bay's top receiver to one catch for 16 yards on 10 targets in a 42-28 victory at home.However, Bradberry has struggled in three games since giving up big plays in each of those games in losses to Pittsburgh, Detroit and Seattle.Bradberry is expected to draw Evans again."They game-planned really well," Evans said. "Even though they're a one-high team Youth Kawann Short Jersey , it felt like Eric Reid was just coming to me no matter what. And then Bradberry was underneath just pressing. So, I've got to be better, more physical, faster and stronger, and I think I will be this time around."AP Sports Writer Steve Reed in Charlotte contributed to this report. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have a quarterback problem. Former first overall pick Jameis Winston lost his starting gig to Ryan Fitzpatrick while serving a three game suspension for off field transgressions. That benching didn’t last long however, as Winston came in for relief duty in his first game back during complete and utter beat down the Buccaneers took at the hands of the Chicago Bears.After the game, he was named the starter going forward. Winston made it less than three full games before head coach Dirk Koetter decided that soon-to-be 36 year old Ryan Fitzpatrick, on his seventh NFL team, was the better option at quarterback. Winston threw ten interceptions in his four games of work, enough to tie him for most in the league with Sam Darnold and Case Keenum, both of whom have played twice as many games as the embattled Bucs quarterback. His last performance featured four interceptions in less than three quarters of work, opening the door for Fitzpatrick to step in and work his magic. Last week, Fitzpatrick threw for 194 yards and two touchdowns in roughly 17 minutes of game time. The showing was reminiscent of the first three weeks of the season, during which the Harvard grad threw for over 1,230 yards and 12 touchdowns (fun fact: that extrapolates to a 6 http://www.panthersfootballauthentic.com/mario-addison-jersey-authentic ,560 yard, 64 touchdown season). He is not without faults though, and that brings us to this week’s keys:Turnovers, turnovers, turnovers. Turnovers are fickle and somewhat random, so asking a team to force them is rather pointless. But they get special mention this week. Even during his magical early season run, Fitzpatrick turned the ball over four times in three games. This is also the same guy that has two five-plus interception games on his resume, one of just four players since 2000 to hold such a distinction. He will undoubtedly give the Panthers opportunities to take the ball away, and the Panthers need to capitalize. Play disciplined on the back end. The Buccaneers have completed ten passes of at least 40 yards, tied for the most in the NFL this season. Fitzpatrick is responsible for eight of those, and half of those are to wide receiver DeSean Jackson. Donte Jackson should be tasked with the speedster while James Bradberry should draw the more physical Mike Evans. Eric Reid and Mike Adams need to be ready to help on both. Get off the field on third and fourth downs. The Buccaneers have converted 47% of their 3rd downs this season, fourth best in the league. They’ve also converted on all six of their 4th down tries. The defense needs to keep the Bucs behind the sticks on early downs to make those 3rd and 4th down stops easier. The Buccaneers offense has been one of the most explosive units in the league this season. They lead the NFL in yards per game and are seventh in scoring. The Bucs defense is terrible, so the Panthers defense doesn’t have to play a perfect game to keep the offense in the game. A few big plays on the defensive end should be enough to earn a win for the Panthers, even if the Bucs pick up yards and points along the way.
