Panthers officials insist Cam Newton's MNF problems totally mental

This is on Yahoo this morning...

 

http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nbc-yahoo-sports/panthers-officials-insist-cam-newton-s-mnf-problems-totally-mental-212858309-nfl.html

 

 

 

 

NBC Sports football analyst Ross Tucker, however, received assurances from Panthers' officials that the 25-year-old signal-caller was totally healthy. In a discussion with ProFootballTalk's Mike Florio, Tucker said some trusted people in the organization think Newton's sluggish behavior against the Eagles was mental.

"They insisted to me that there was nothing wrong with him physically," Tucker said. "His lethargic, nonchalant mannerisms and body language last night, that's just him. That's just how he acts at times."

The curious behavior, Tucker says, can be chalked up to Newton's volatile attitude.

"I even had one guy tell me 'When things are really going well, he is so high, so upbeat, so much energy and he's going to make a lot of plays for you. But when things start to go poorly and start to roll the other way, he really struggles at times mentally coming back from that.' No matter how you slice it, that's really concerning, considering the money he wants."

 

 

That's about half the article and there is a video...

 

 

Interesting... I'm wondering if Zod or Voth have heard anything along these lines... it's the first I've heard of it.

 

To say I'm skeptical would be an understatement.  Was Cam "down" Monday night?  No doubt... was he simply pouting?  I don't think so.

To be honest, I can't blame him if part of it IS his mannerisms. I'd be like that if I was out there getting drilled every play.

Do I think there is anything to this? Maybe partially. But to me, it seems like he's pretty banged up physically. He should have been pulled at halftime on Monday, if nothing else but to prevent him from getting injured.

 

Basically, the Panthers organization is Cam Newton's parents right now, and they are encouraging him to go play in traffic.

I think Cam's health is obvious to anyone who actually watches the games.

 

 

I don't think throwing him under the bus is going to do anyone any favors, including the coaching staff.

This team sucks from top to bottom. The offense is terrible in all phases. I don't blame Cam for being sick and tired of this sh&t storm. How can ANYONE succeed with this group.

Yep.

2nd play of the game your loser running back fumbles the ball. Then your WR stops running his route, all this in the first 5 minutes. This team and organization has let him down his entire career.

Cam isn't an idiot, he knows he's a sitting duck back there and that this team blows. Mentally, he checked out in the 1st quarter and I don't blame him.

So it was very reasonable to think that Newton, who grimaced and limped out of the huddle Monday night and only managed two rushing attempts, had aggravated his foot injury or even suffered a new one.

 

 

I must have missed it but I have heard nothing about a foot injury ?

The FO of this organization is completely dilusional and clearly in a state of flux...just like the rest of the team smh. I feel very sorry for Cam because not only is he an athlete he is a great young man. I live here in ATL and I can tell first hand you that he tries to reach as many youth and people in need as possible. To say he is essentially a head case and his attitude is predicated by his level of success is both ignorant and malicious. I would probably be acting different to if it felt like I wasn't valued or wanted. Look no further then the lack of resources around Cam.

 

This season just keeps getting worse, and it's time for some major changes. The Rivera era should officially be over after this season. And i'm about 97% sure Gettleman's ass needs to be gone with him.

If one were inclined to believe that the organization was hanging Cam out to dry and tanking the season as part of a elaborate conspiracy to drive down Cam's market value to make him more affordable to resign, not saying that's the case, but just suggesting it as a possibility, would this report that said player is mopey and too weak-willed to be a franchise QB not be exactly the kind of news "leaked" from an organization with such intentions?

This strategy wouldn't work. Why would he want to play for someone that does that to him? plenty of teams will offer him huge money regardless of what this team says about him 10 weeks into a destroyed season when it's obvious how little ability the fo had to give him help

And to think this time last year we were coming off that 10-9 win against the 49ers. How things change....

      What do you grade this draft?

      By Newtcase · Posted

      I didn’t like this draft at all. XL, our first pick had one good season out of five and doesn’t have burst off the line.  I wanted Ladd here because I think he’d have been a much better pairing for BY9s weak arm.  We need to be an excellent west coast style offense if Bryce is gonna shine.  A burner that takes 3 steps to get moving and doesn’t separate at the line is a bad choice IMO. I don’t even want to talk about drafting a RB after having Foreman make us feel better about trading CMC only to send him packing and give Sanders top FA money last year to fall on his face.  We always try to get cute and find value.  The fact that we were the first team to take a RB (one recovering from a serious injury no less) tells you we didn’t get the memo 31 other teams got.  RB has a huge role in protection responsibility, it’s a huge reason some great backs are situational…they suck in protection.  A rookie RB helping protect BY doesn’t warm my heart.  We should have taken the top C on the board here IMO. LB and yet another project TE that’ll probably just frustrate us all for how long he hangs around seemingly doing nothing.  Then a bunch of dice rolls that aren’t changing any fortune unless it’s a complete accident. TLDR This whole draft looks like JAGs to me at best.  I don’t like the XL or JB picks at all.  Always happy to be wrong when I have a negative take.

      I'll tell you how you should benefit from using this in a moment. However, things are alright now. You might have to be really skilled to use their find effectively. I'm not the most ideal customer when it is put alongside that condition. Here are the pros. I put my foot in my mouth. I had high expectations. We'll face up to reality. My notion is based around my assumption that nobody has a partiality concerning doing that. There is a culture that has been built around some hindrance and also you should understand how some command will impact your life. Really honestly, if you actually reckon about it, how good is that stuff? Whenever somebody experiences the doohickey, it is best that they do not hesitate to talk to a professional.    OFFICIAL WEBSITE ----> https://www.onlymyhealth.com/sugar-defender-reviews-blood-sugar-supplement-complaints-1709036624   Go Down For More Info:-   https://www.onlymyhealth.com/puravive-reviews-side-effects-and-complaints-1709979035 https://www.onlymyhealth.com/fitspresso-reviews-coffee-loophole-recipe-dangerous-side-effects-and-complaints-1710235827   https://medium.com/@lancebrum/sugar-defender-buyer-beware-heres-the-real-story-must-read-cfbe26c6a174 https://hackmd.io/@lancebrum/SugarDefender https://www.eventogo.com/event/sugar-defender-supplement-what-you-should-be-aware-in-update-2024/ https://www.techdirectory.io/new-york/adtech/sugar-defender https://gamma.app/docs/Sugar-Defender-Buyer-Beware-Heres-The-Real-Story-Must-Read-7vy0ew8b8doq9hm https://jciodev.microsoftcrmportals.com/forums/general-discussion/59f21551-e405-ef11-a81c-6045bd0b2619 https://pgccouncilcsp.powerappsportals.us/forums/general-discussion/604e7f79-e405-ef11-a73d-001dd806eee4 https://thecontingent.microsoftcrmportals.com/forums/general-discussion/5f1e49b0-e405-ef11-a73d-6045bd01c1cc https://twor.microsoftcrmportals.com/forums/support-forum/1bf52a1d-e505-ef11-a73d-6045bd3fd1cb
