The guys at Black and Blue Review are as horrified by this NFLN piece as I am

I mean... I don't even...

"We know Newton has no weapons, no OL, no defense, isn't 100% healthy, and the team has done nothing to support him in the draft, but why can't he overcome these things? Guys like Russell Wilson and Andrew Luck are able to do it with less talent!"

(The above is not a direct quote but a paraphrase of the gist of the piece.)

I mean WTF?

Video never loaded but that's probably both a me problem and a good thing because with only having access to the 5 comments I almost punched my computer.  I've had it with the negative Cam hit pieces.  It's beyond sick how they go after this young man for no other reason than clicks and hits.  Dude is good, bottom line.  He was worth the #1 pick, bottom line.  He is a leader, bottom line.  He is the future of the league, bottom line.

Last night they were talking about how Wilson has beat all the top QBs In his short career like they were playing one on one basketball.  I would have been fired as a commentator.  I would have been like Wilson is playing on one of the best defenses in the last ten years.  Why must our broadcast team keep bringing up this point over and over like he is personally beating these teams.  This is why players don't fudge with the media.

Here's a response to me from Yahoo NFL's Frank Schwab (who had nothing to do with the hit piece) about the video:

@YahooSchwab:

@tiger7_88 That made my head hurt. Bad. I don't get why people can't recognize how great Cam Newton is. There's no logical reason for it.

"Yes he is becoming a better passer, leader, game-manager, better at press conferences.  Yes he has all new receivers, all new left side of the line and all his running backs are hurt, but I'm still waiting for Superman.  He was supposed to transcend the position."  And two minutes before that he was focusing on Cam's attire at press conferences.  The dude really believes in comic book characters.

Did anyone else see the pregame show last night where Wilson admitted to being a bully growing up? Couldn't even imagine if Cam said something like that.

I watched the bullsh*t video, I've said before Kriegel has ZERO football knowledge and is just on that show to stir the pot. The guy literally doesn't have a clue. Like c'mon, when a retard like Kriegel starts bashing Cam because he's wearing a bow tie at a post game presser it goes to show how much these guys have to reach in order to find ways to knock Cam.

They just look stupid at this point and anyone with a brain knows that.

What a load of crap, the guys playing injured and can rarely run the ball so the defenses dont have to respect that, with a completely overhauled WR corps and a poor O-Line and he's throwing the ball better than he ever has done, I'd like to see Kaepernick try and play with a dodgy ankle, without his running ability 49'ers would be screwed

I saw that too.

 

He must have lived in a pretty wimpy town.....he would have gotten his ass beat down in my high school.

    • Lanorris Sellers is my choice but I'm biased of course. He should honestly stay another year and develop as a passer though. 
    • DCs have got a couple of years of Canales' play-calling now to see what he's doing the same between TB & CAR. Most fans without an anti-player agenda understood coming in that this was going to be a season about developing the young guys (something most fans have been clamoring for since the soft reboots started taking place), but the coaches are in the same boat imo. Not only does Evero need to show that last season was an aberration, Canales needs to show that he has an offensive mind that can compete with some of these great defensive coordinators around the league. I think one of the adjustments for that particular play is going to be having Tremayne (or whoever the WR ends up being) create a contact with the SS before his break to the corner if the CB has outside leverage. I recall seeing the same (or at least a very similar) play drawn up during preseason where XL was breaking open to the corner after getting to the CBs outside shoulder but the ball went elsewhere due to pressure. Shoot... I think this might be the season that I finally challenge myself to try and figure out which plays/concepts we see most often and when. The last decade of reviewing all-22s after frustrating L's has helped me learn so much more about the game. 😄
    • I think he should keep it tbh and try to improve at it all. We hired him to be the f'ing playcaller and head coach, so deal with the bumps of someone learning on the job with a limited QB. It's fine.
