Newton hasn't won any of the last three games he's started, after coming in for cameo appearances in his first week when they beat the Cardinals.
For the season, Newton's 44-of-75 passing (58.7 percent), for 467 yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions. His passer rating is 73.6.
Walker got credit for winning the start at Arizona, since he took the first snap and most of the work. For the year, he's 36-of-66 passing (54.5 percent) with a touchdown and three interceptions. His passer rating is 56.5.
And while you can't dismiss the turnovers — the Falcons turned them into 13 points in a game they won by eight — Rhule said he did see some signs of progress in the passing game.
With new play-caller Jeff Nixon at the helm, the Panthers moved the ball effectively at times (both of Newton's turnovers came after they had driven into Falcons territory). As a team, they were 21-of-35 passing for 253 yards, with a touchdown and the two picks (67.9 passer rating).
"I thought Jeff did a nice job yesterday," Rhule said. "I thought the tempo was there. I thought there were guys open. . . . I thought it was one of the better passing days we've had in quite some time.
"We'll continue to refine what we're asking of each guy, and I think in another week, hopefully we can play with that same sort of tempo we had, and just protect the football better."
