ESPN still taking runs at Cam

ESPN is still on board with trying to diminish Cam Newton for what happened in Florida. 7 years after he left the squad. I'm so tired of this bullshit. The man clearly matured, understood what he needed to do in order to be a leader, and became a better person. Why do these articles continuously pop up while other guys continue to get passes for everything they've done? I hear more about Cam Newton's past than I hear about Roethlisberger's and there nowhere near comparable.

Some people can't get over Cam's "fake smile." It's ridiculous.

Wow cam is powerful

He destroyed a college football program by not staying

I got the sense that the article was less Cam bashing and more about the downfall of Florida's program. It hit on his maturing at junior college and mentioned his on field skills in a positive manner.

You're absolutely right. I've definitely heard less negative commentary on Roethlisberger's past transgressions than all the Cam hate. It really is weird the way Cam is treated by the media.

What was wrong with the article?

The rise and fall of Florida was something they were discussing recently and Cam leaving had a big impact on that, at least based off what he did at Auburn.  I think it is a legit question to ask if he would have had the same success if he never left Florida in the first place.  Cam would probably be the first to tell you he's matured a lot since.

Wow! I should've never read the comments in the comment section of the article. Some of those people are INSANE!

You would think Cam was a damn terrorist the way some people talk so negatively about him. SMH!

[Cary Kollins]

So Newton would have played one year at Florida and then gone pro?

Trying to pin Florida's decent to mediocrity on Cam is petty. Not surpirsed, par for the course for the worldwide leader.

[Toker Smurf]

Yeah,  he admitted this himself in the Gatorade series.

I Hate Christian Laettner gives good perspective on all this.

[GRWatcher]

From a "senior" NFL writer no less. And. no. I didn't read the comments. I never do when the subject is Cam Newton.
