The best Cam Newton article this side of Nolan Nawrocki

(you're gonna want this @sallyjenx )

 

This writer for the Washington Post does not like Cam Newton. I'd call this a hit-piece, but that wouldn't be doing hit-pieces justice. I wonder if she is just playing devils advocate with all the praise being thrown Cam's way. Of course, this is just one person typing into a keyboard and holds zero weight, but it's still semi-disgustingly disingenuous beginning with the first few paragraphs.

Quote

It would be a little easier to admire Cam Newton if he wasn’t so relentlessly admiring of his admirable self. The Carolina Panthersquarterback has been introduced fully to the global audience on the Super Bowl stage this week, and this is the impression he has left: He is brilliant and beautiful, and anyone who doesn’t like his bold dancing is a joyless prude, and he may even be the new super-species he claims to be. He also appears to own a new size of ego.

He strolls around with a languid yet self-studied air, uttering pronouncements such as, “Every time I put on an attire, every single morning of my life, it’s a must-win attire.”

Then he shuffles away from the podium in socks and slippers, as if it’s too much trouble to dress properly for something as paltry as a press conference.

I know it's dumb to link to dumb articles, but this is the Washington Post and a supposedly legit sports writer, and the entire piece is worth a read.

The lady on bleacher report mid day radio has pretty much the same opinion plus she thinks you can put any quarterback on our team and they will have as much success.  Yes she is a complete fool. She's hot though so they give her a microphone for several hours a day to talk sports.

    • Just worry about it next year.  Its that simple honestly.  its way to early to do what ifs.  I could see us trade/cut chuba and retain dowdle, I could see them let dowdle walk and go with Chuba/Etienne and Brooks, and I could see Dowdle and Chuba both stay and see what happens.  Hell, we still have 6 games left THIS season plus possible post-season...what if Rico or Chuba have an ACL tear or severe injury.  I DO NOT want that to happen, but stuff like that does happen.  Remember RB is the most injury prone position in the NFL due to the beating their bodies take so having some extra guys is never bad, just wish it hadn't come at the cost we paid to get him.
    • I think it’s cool that no one can be really certain what the outcome will be.  That’s a lot of progress! This is a real opportunity for us, I’d be happy with a competitive game and thrilled if we sack up for a W.
    • I could never found out who did the first surgery. That failed.      Nor who did the recent one.    Yiu can’t count on anything involving him. If it happens it’s a windfall at this point.
