The Carolina Panthers have seemingly continued to take steps forward after grabbing their third straight win that has pushed them to one of the best marks in the league holding a 6-2 record.

This strong start out of the gate to the season has impressed star quarterback Cam Newton about how things have come together this year, according to David Newton of ESPN.

What has impressed Newton the most about the current team is the “harmony” by which so many different personalities have come together to play unselfishly.

Carolina has quickly become one of the best teams in the NFL with their balance on both sides of the ball through the first nine weeks of the season. Newton has been the driving force for the offense putting together another highly productive campaign where he has passed for 1,893 yards on a career-best 67.3 percent completion rate with 15 passing touchdowns to four interceptions along with 372 rushing yards with four touchdowns.
