As long as that douchebag makes plays like he has, he can be the biggest douchebag on my team all he wants.

 

Steve Smith and Ron Rivera have publicly agreed with Newton.

 

If Carolina doesn't want him they can have Matt Moore back and I'll take Newton off their hands

 

I don't have a problem with what he said. He's saying that some people accept failure on that team and that the culture has to be changed. He didn't say it in the most diplomatic way, but that's a problem that most losing programs have until the right leader comes in a changes the culture. I think he's working to change that culture. And since he's a guy who has won at every level so far, I expect that many of his team mates are listening. If I were a Panther's fan, I'd feel more optimistic about the future now than I did prior to drafting Newton.

 

Big whoop!

Dan Marino was an a$$hole. Cam Newton is full of himself. So freaking what!

 

Hes been leading by example so far. Maybe they need to hear it explicitly stated.

 

Reggie Bush said we said suck, then we started winning. Maybe the same will happen to the Panthers.

 

You really need to get past your confirmation bias on this one, especially when the head coach and the guy who’s been the best player on the team for a decade are agreeing with the sentiment. It’s not douchy, it’s not egotistical, it’s not self-centered.

And like Anonymous said, Reggie Bush did the same thing six weeks ago.

 

The residual consequences are that the other most important people on the team agree with him.

 

He's right, though. His team is horrible. If they played to his level, they wouldn't be.

 

They are about as relevant to the Carolina Panthers locker room as we are.

 

Lemme guess, some ex-jock on ESPN said Cam shouldn't have said what he said. So what!??!? Those guys just talk and talk and talk and hope their comments stir up a controversy.

-Oh nos, Chris Carter said Calvin Johnson isn't a top-10 QB
-Oh nos, Hugh Douglas says Jack Del Rio needs to get punched in the face
-Oh nos, Merill Hodge says Tim Tebow sucks
-Oh nos, some idiot on ESPN says Cam Newton disrespected his team

Fart!

 

The thing that most troubles me about the interview is----- I really have no idea what a penacle is. :dunno:

 

He could have worded things better but nothing too bad. I'd prefer that attitude over, ""It's frustrating, but it's not life and death."

 

I'm guessing the answer is: "You'd get arrested, duh. And if not, you'd definitely have to cut his nails."

Cam, if you become Aaron Rodgers, then who will Aaron Rogers be in 5 years?





**Something tells me we've found Emmitt Smith's heir.**

 

What'd they say privately? :shifty:

 

Despite all the BS press he's getting, I'd still take him to be our QB. He's basically a lock for 25 touchdowns or more every season.

 

If Miami had drafted him #1, I'd be happy that he was saying that he wouldn't accept losing.

 

Why do people just assume he is also somehow stupid?

 

Depends, is it a cowardly lion? :shifty:

 

Your putting words in his mouth. Seems like a lot of people like to do that with Newton. It's pretty clear what he's trying to say. He wants to change the culture of Carolina into a winning culture. Nothing wrong with that, or how he said it. He's right. The team needs to get to his level, otherwise they will keep losing.

 

Cam's putting his own words in his mouth. It's not Deej's fault Cam is poorly spoken and sounds like an idiot.

He's a rookie telling the team they need to get to his level. Sounds a little arrogant to me, especially when doing it publicly.

If it takes a moment to digest what Cam's saying, then it's not very clear. If it were clear, he'd say what he means rather than constantly using silly drawn-out analogies while interjecting stuff like "place of residence" to seem intelligent. It's called a home, Cam. A HOME.

 

It didn't take any time to digest what Cam was saying. It was simple and to the point. Some people like to create context

 

Saying he wants out if they do not start winning is putting words in Cam Newton's mouth. That's what DJ said. Therefore, he put words in Newton's mouth.

Cam Newton clearly meant the team needs to reach up to his level, competition wise. Apparently, there are some on that team fine with losing. He's calling them out.

Also, how is Cam Newton at Tight End working out?

 

Not very good. This temporary QB thing is interfering. :lol:


When Cam becomes a consistent QB, passer, and winner in the NFL, then you can start talking as if he is such. Until then, he's nothing more than a quality fantasy league QB.

 

When he becomes a consistent passer??????????

Jeez. Some people hang onto their preconceptions no matter what!

 

He said hear me out, I don't want to leave the team. He wants to leave the culture of losing, and change it into a culture of winning.

Your grasping for straws, DJ. If his team doesn't mind what he said, why should you? His statemants are that of a winner.

 

Fantasy league QB? Really? He has one of the brighter futures in the league. We would be lucky to have a QB as good as him.
