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.

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.

    • lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.

    • Ryabkin could be the steal of the draft, he was a Top 10 pick heading into last season and had a rough year.  Lots of GMs passed on him because of that and his workouts. Pick has really high upside and Svech should be able to translate Rod tearing his arse a new one for making dumb plays since Svech has had several years of it.  🤣😂
