This weeks fan poll for Game Ball of the Week is going to be a little tough as their truly are not many candidates beyond the usual stars in my view. This weeks candidates are:

QB Cam Newton - Newton had a very nice passing day going 22 for 35 for 290 yards and 3 TDs. He also added 53 yards rushing on the ground but you will have to overlook the 2 fumbles if you want to vote for Newton.

WR Steve Smith - Smitty continued his Pro Bowl season with 7 receptions for 100 yards and a TD

TE Greg Olsen - My pick for fantasy sleeper of the week put up 4 catches for 73 yards and a TD

CB Captain Munnerlyn - You'll ave to overlook a poorly timed penalty but otherwise Munnerlyn had a good game. He logged 7 combined tackles, a sack, a forced fumble, a fumble recovery, a QB hurry and a sweet tackle on punt coverage.

LB Omar Gaither - Returning from injury Gaither racked up 7 combined tackles, a tackle for loss, a sack and a QB hurry.

K Olindo Mare - He did make 3 extra points, we should be ecstatic ;(

So there are your candidates, cast your vote wisely Panther fans!
