Panthers QB Cam Newton returned to the practice field Wednesday but didn’t really talk with reporters, although he did make a joke.

On his social media Instagram account, however, Newton posted a quote from the late well known motivation speaker Jim Rohn:

“Don’t wish it was easier, wish you were better. Don’t wish for less problems, wish for more skills.”

Rohn’s full quote also includes one more sentence -- “Don't wish for less challenge, wish for more wisdom” -- but the words certainly can apply to Carolina’s situation right now.

The reigning NFC champs are 1-4 and in danger of falling out of the playoff race if they don’t win in New Orleans Sunday.
