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...

      Why not? Dude was tough as nails. Came off the field after a vicious hit and showed the coach how his ring finger was knocked out of socket halfway up. You could see the shock on Fox's face. Brad just  pulled  on the finger, grimaced, got it back in alignment and went back in for the next play and blew up an opposing linebacker or two. Dude is legendary.

      Motown let on like he'd like to play at least another 5 years in his presser. I fell he was truthful and us fans over did his knee. The guy started like 108 starts in a row and only missed like 2 games over each of the past years.  I think as long as the team agrees with his value that Motown has, he will sign another contract extension to push the void years into the 2030s.  OLmen can play at high levels up til 40. Trent williams is doing it, Richie Incognito leftd and came back to play until he hit 38. Lane Johnson is still playing at a top level while 38. You member Greg Van Roten, he's somehow still playing at 36 and he started here after being a substitute teacher years before. If you are able to get over the 32 year bump, its possible to reach 38 with luck. Colleges do a poor job of preparing new OLmen, many times that vet is better.   Rams were begging Andrew Whitworth to come back while he was 39, if you got the genes, luck and still willing to put in the hard work....it is possible to play until 38 as a OLmen*starting level*

      Shaq was a fantastic LB, he just happened to have been standing in the shadow of a Panthers great and a Hall of Famer. He was team-lead starter quality for all 32 teams of the NFL. Don't throw shade on him, he was never just a guy.
