Cam Newton..Insert foot.

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.

still don't like his ass..and honestly, if he was a Miami Dolphin, and he said this, { calling them losers and threatening them to leave} It would have the same affect on me..but I guess I'am alone on this one..lol..

We'll see how this egomaniac leads a locker room..

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.

bs, its not the same.

even if I wasn't on his team and he said this, if I was on another team, it would be disrespectful, if I way 250 lbs and play linebacker for another team, Iam gonna try to rip his head..off...

residual consequences..Thats what your not taking into account.

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

Lot of ex football players don't like what he said at all..

I'am not claiming on whether this could be an effective way of leading a losing franchise, I'am just saying if thats who you are, and how you do it..Then you can eat sh%$..I wouldn't want him leading our team.

What he said is so out of bounds, and so stupid, that if anything good comes from it, I will be shocked.

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

even if what he says is true, you simply don't do it like that...Could you imagine Andrew Luck saying that in his first year..lol

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."

Newton: "I asked somebody this the other day. What happens when you take a lion out of the safari and try to take him to your place of residence and make him a house pet?"

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

Newton: "I wanna be the Aaron Rodgers of the game 5 years from now."

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.

The team that drafted him #1, believed in him, game him millions, and this is how he talks about the franchise publicly, lol, by saying that if they don't change he will leave...The boy not only has a big mouth, but says some very stupid things that show a complete lack of humility..Hes the triple threat..Big mouth..not a very smart person..No humility..lol..

I'AM A LION!!!! AND THAT LION SHALL NOT BE PUT IN THE HOUSE!!!

I have reached the penacle..

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