Too big, too fast and too strong; this is Cam Newton in a nutshell. And how do you stop that, you ask? Beats me.

Honestly, I really have no answer to this question as I look ahead to the ever so intriguing matchup between Newton’s Carolina Panthers and Peyton Manning’s Denver Broncos.

In the 2015-16 season, Newton has thrown for over 3,800 yards while rushing for over 600 as well, something the league hasn’t seen since the likes of Michael Vick.

On the other side of things, how can you bet against Manning in what looks to be his final season, with a defense like they have in Denver? The Broncos have the best defense in the NFL, only allowing 283.1 yards per game. They also come in fourth in points per game allowed at 18.5 and have 52 sacks, which is three more than any other team.

As we look ahead to February, I see a lot of “dabbing” in Newton and his teammates’ future, and even though it has gotten annoying, the team is still fun to watch.

They run the ball down good defenses’ throats. Take Jonathan Stewart’s 100-yard game against a tough Seattle run defense for example. Just when you think you have their running game stopped, Cam Newton finds Greg Olsen or one of his speedy receivers down field.

As much as I would like to see Manning go out a winner in the NFL, I don’t think the old man has any ice left in his veins. Sorry, Denver.

In just under two months, the blockbuster film “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” will be released worldwide. The movie marks the first time in cinematic history the two most popular comic book heros of all time will appear together on the big screen.

If you’re like me and can’t wait that long to see Superman take on the Dark Knight, then follow my lead and tune into Super Bowl 50 on Feb. 7 to witness a battle of similar proportions.

Playing the role of Superman is “Super-Cam,” also known as Cam Newton, quarterback of the 15-1 Carolina Panthers. He is the eventual 2015-16 MVP of the NFL and just like “Supes” in the comics, Newton can do it all.

He’ll run faster than any speeding defender on the field and jump over defensive lineman in a single bound.

Not to mention he can throw the ball as hard as Superman can punch.

Sounds like this living football version of Superman should dominate the Super Bowl, right?

Don’t sleep on the Batman, AKA the Denver Broncos defense.

For anyone who knows about Superman, his one weakness is kryptonite, and the Broncos might just be “Super-Cam’s” kryptonite.
Denver is going to stop the run, and a couple of dropped passes from Panthers wide receiver Ted Ginn Jr. just might be enough to keep this game close.

So my suggestion is simple, tune into the Super Bowl not just for the commercials, but to see two God-like entities battle one another before they do it on film in the form of fictional characters.
