Carolina is prepared to have Newton and second-year player Jimmy Clausen compete for the job in training camp.
"I've heard from team officials that the Panthers will not play Newton extensively until he shows a firm grasp of the offense and they build a supporting cast that will enable him to have success as a starter," Bucky Brooks of NFL.com writes.
