So, I Found The Reporter That Tried To Start A Controversy With Cam

His name is Jerry Sullivan and he is a reporter from the Buffalo News.

He wrote an article about his exchange with Cam.

Quote

“I don’t even want to touch on the topic of black quarterback,” Newton said, “because I think this game is bigger than black, white or even green. So I think we limit ourselves when we just label ourselves as this and that. I wanted to bring awareness because of that. But yeah, I don’t think I should be labeled just a black quarterback, because there’s bigger things in this sport that need to be accomplished.”

I jumped in and asked Newton why he couldn’t elaborate on his words from a week earlier. Did he believe there’s still somewhat of a stereotype that says black, mobile quarterbacks cannot throw in the pocket effectively?

“We shattered that a long time ago,” he said, a sheepish smile on his face.

Jerry Sullivan is lying about the fact that he asked Cam to elaborate. He actually told him to "back it up" as if Cam had to prove something to him. He is also being called out on twitter for his actions towards Cam.

I stopped watching those evening ESPN shows for years because they were insufferable. Then I found it on one day and Bomani Jones was on.

 

Love that guy. Totally makes that whole half anhour block tolerable if there's nothing else on.

      Do You Agree With These Excuses?

      By Saca312 · Posted

      Pretty much on point. I’ll admit, I used to be one of Cam Newton’s staunch defenders back in the day, so I understand the instinct to pull positives out of a QB you believe is unfairly judged. I'm sure I was quite overbearing as well with that, lol. Is some of the criticism of Bryce Young over the top? Maybe. But there are also plenty of fair points. For what the Panthers gave up to draft him, you’d expect a bigger return by year three, not the level of struggle we’re still seeing. Sure, the offense as a whole rarely looks in sync, but that doesn’t excuse us from asking whether Bryce is worth the pick. At this point, the bigger question is how the Panthers want to move forward. Do they lean into Bryce’s limitations, tighten the support around him, and hope improved coaching/playcalling can make it work? I’m not even sure Canales’ system is a natural fit for him. Or do they reset at QB, target someone who fits Canales’ offense better, and ideally land a player with the off-structure ability and athleticism to elevate the rest of this unit’s flaws? AKA what Bryce Younf was supposed to be, but with the typical NFL arm and athleticism to back that up. That type of QB might succeed where Bryce has struggled. For now, the team stays the course with Young. But if he doesn’t show real growth soon, it’s going to force some tough decisions.

      God, Tepper is so fuging stupid. just thinking back to that time…  how simple it could’ve been.  We found a formula that worked - and now, Wilks is where?  Foreman is where?  Imagine taking that foundation and building off that with guys like Lewis and Hunt, Tet, etc.  what a monumental fug up.
