If Cam Newton wasn't a Panther...

As Panthers fans, we love our qb. We defend his on field antics, we defend him when he walks out during pressers, we love the guy no matter what.

So my question is this; Cam Newton is wearing a Falcons jersey, he comes to BOA and does his usual celebrating... are you still ok with this or do you join the media and other fans in condemning it?

The problem with your question is that he is the Panthers quarterback. You call them antics which carries a negative connotation which may have an impact on the answers you receive. I have no problem with his actions. The same way I don't care that Peyton threw his teammates under the bus after the Super Bowl or ran off the field without congratulating Brees (which Cam did by the way). 

People have their moments and in this case it's a matter of recency bias. People take his answers out of context after press conferences and don't add context to the other press conference situation. Before information came out that the Bronco's were in the same room giving answers NFL Network had already aired a knee-jerk segment on him walking out. This without doing any prior research for similar situations of "poor sportsmanship" from other QB's, namely Peyton Manning. 

Now if Cam is going to be upset for losing, so be it. This isn't an "I take this poo seriously" moment. He was upset, he was probably upset he didn't dive for the ball (see Roby head hunting when Cam clearly slid feet first at one point in the game). The good thing, is having a player as visibly upset as Cam is, he is hurting more on the inside. The only way to correct that discomfort is to drive yourself to be better and I think in the same way that losing to the Falcons was a good thing, for our future, losing this game may have the same effect. 

So SUCK IT OP.

    • Good game so far.  Solid trench battles, two young well built defenses, and my 2 fave coaches.  Stafford is really damn good.  SEA OL is overperforming.  
    • Okay then. To me that means Russell Wilson was Coryell. Because I see the proposition completely in the Russell Wilson punt/pass put it up for grabs mold. Count on the receiver to catch it or knock it down.    And the reason I thought that was the intent with Legette is the abysmal downfield game from 2023. As in, there was barely any.   I look at it as if… the result of a deep attempt isn’t as important as the opponent understanding they have to defend it. So I was all for some 50/50s. Coryell, Walsh whoever.  I do favor the Coryell approach personally but also very much value versatility, it doesn’t have to be strict. Just make the defense defend the whole field, however you do it. It has to include downfield throws.     
    • Sold, or in the process of being sold. Could be either way. Consider this for a second... Last season, our defensive coordinator steered what many have called the worst defense in NFL history.  Canales would absolutely have been justified in firing him, and no one would have blamed him if he had.  But what did he do? He gave Evero another chance to come back and prove he could be better. Does that tell us something about Canales? I think it does. Now apply that to Bryce 😕
