Cam's first-down celebrations really bother a lot of people. Why?

Is this a generational thing? My dad has never once criticized Cam until he told me how much he hates his first-down celebrations out of the blue yesterday. People at the office are ripping him for it. Even Jim Celania who we all love and who loves Cam was calling Cam out for the first-down finger point.

 

Am I the only one that truly doesn't get the big deal about it at all? People seem to not care about that at all as long as we're winning. The second we lose and/or Cam doesn't play well, it's all about how awful the first-down celebration is.

 

This is Year 4. Is this something Cam needs to get rid of like the towel over the head to appease the haters?

Bc some people are cool with WRs or RBs doing this and QB need to be more emotionless.....way it has been and they think that means change to it must then be negative.

Unless Aaron Rodgers is doing his WWF belt....that is okay.

Tom Brady will get so pumped up I have seen him chop a first down so hard I thought his arm was going to fly off.

They hate on Cam bc he is a first down machine and therefore see it much more than when a traditional QB does it 2 times a year

i havent heard anyone whine about this this year.  is this a thing or just a whine about a whine?

 

People on the radio, the office, and my own old-ass dad have been going off on this today. It's been the #1 topic of conversation I've seen people having after yesterday.

 

I think you'll find that Panthers fans that aren't on the Huddle are very different from Panthers fans that are on the Huddle.

It bothers me because he's the QB of the team.  The 5-10 seconds or longer it takes him to do it, he could be spending that time working on the next play.  I also don't like him chewing gum as he plays, safety reasons.  Of course in all, he does a lot of things that aren't really necessary.  I know he's a free spirit, but he's also a developing player.  I would like to see him master his craft before doing all these other things.

it's because he is black

 

 

This is the cliche answer, but... I think it's a big part of it unfortunately.  About 99% of the people I see talking poo about Cam... calling him "Sir Cameron Newton: Leader of Men, Lover of Puppies...Esquire" etc., are bitter white guys.

 

 

 

This is also my answer to those criticizing Cam... the PA announcer makes a HUGE deal of first downs in the stadium and everyone in the hyped up sections does the point when we get a 1st down.  Why shouldn't Cam?

 

 

Edit:  Nice filter there mods...   I typed "S-cam Newton" in reference to what was being said, fyi...

      The Carolina Huddle

      By ladypanther · Posted

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.

      Favorite JAG 2020+

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      My top-5 JAGS: 1. Tommy Tremble: May not ever be top-tier, but has been solid and you never doubt the effort. 2. Cade Mays: Not bad for a 6th rounder. Hated to see him go. 3. Brady Christensen: One of the most versatile backup OLs in the NFL. Hopefully we re-sign him. 4. Trevis Gipson: Quietly was really solid depth last season. Glad we brought him back. 5. Brycen Tremayne: Has been solid depth at WR, flashing at times last year.

      He wasn't a JAG, he's been a starter every year of his career. Didn't turn into the superstar it seemed like he might his rookie year, but I think part of that has been being misused. Guy was/is a baller.
