Made some good points but as usual people just turn a blind eye to it.  Yes he is the starting qb for the Panthers but he needs rethink the way he acts sometimes. 

 

The whole week leading up to the Super bowl Cam was disengaged with the media.  He missed a great opportunity to get them on his side. 

He will grow and learn from this.

Cam wants to be great--Manning, Brady great---and image is part of it.  Leadership is representing the team in the media.  It is understanding that the Panther brand is more important that one man's mood.  It is signing autographs for kids when you are tired and being nice when you are mobbed in a restaurant.  It is carrying greatness on and off the field. 

Nobody remembers the money.  How much did Dick Butkis make?  Walter Payton?  Jim Kelly?  Yes, they want to be respected, but Cam does not gripe about money.  He never did.  Don't think it is all he cares about now.

Point being He could have left the Super Bowl with people saying "I was wrong about Cam Newton".  Instead it just reaffirmed everything they thought.  Whether it be right or not.  

 

Yeah I know.  He doesn't care.  Well he should.

The Panther brand...yeah bc that was a thing before Cam got here. The team has never been more relevant. He's got a whole show for kids. I'd say the "Panther brand" is just fine.

plenty of the "greats" in sports are assholes btw...not sure why we are pretending that's not a thing

i laughed when he mentioned brady.  he's infamous for being a mopey diva asshole and telling fans who try to talk to him in public to go fug themselves.  and bitching out his coaches and cussing out refs on national TV running off the field.  and not shaking hands and slapping butts at midfield after a tough loss. but it's all waved off as an indication of how much he "hates to lose" and how "competitive" he is hilariously enough.  i absolutely buy that, but be consistent.  i don't expect anybody who is king poo in a ridiculously ego driven, high pressure, high dollar line of work to be a particularly nice guy.  i don't think it would end well if i wandered up to axl rose or michael jordan when he was trying to eat dinner either.  if cam is as fan friendly as he seems then that's excellent but i don't expect it.

maybe it's because i'm a degenerate millennial who got one too many participation trophies growing up but i'll never understand the outrage.  "acting professional" in front of the media has nothing to do with football which is what i chiefly care about.  if he's not being a professional in the weight room, film room, or on the practice field then we have a problem.  if he's racking up DUIs and getting in strip club brawls then those are legitimate off-field problems.  and no, a training camp scuffle with a well known antagonistic loud mouth all pro cornerback isn't what i'm talking about.

and yeah, the panthers have never been a bigger draw than they are now.  there are probably hundreds of thousands if not millions of people all over the country who absolutely hate cam newton, but they're still using their time and energy on him and the panthers daily.  nobody outside of us diehard fans gave a crap about the daily comings and goings of our "classy" perennial 7-9 panthers even if the roster was chock full of high character guys you'd love for your daughter to bring home.  what an odd thing to bring up, especially considering how the "panther brand" is doing today.

      Joe Person: Panthers will let Cade Mays test the free agent market

      By PanthersNCSU · Posted

      If Mays has a market, which it seems he will, he's gone.  I think we bring back Nijman for too much money to be cautious at LT, Corbett comes back cheap since he's already said he wants to live in CLT, and Christensen eventually gets re-signed with the hopes he can be depth at some point.  Draft an OT, draft a C. The OL might be rough for stretches next year, but time to get some youth there to prepare for Bryce in 2027 or the next QB. I still think we compete for the division in 2026 and can go back to the playoffs unlike the oddsmakers in Vegas, but the *real* year is 2027 IMO. Either Bryce has proven it and he's the QB looking at his 2nd contract, or we have the ready-made team for the next rookie QB or Vet we trade for.

      Joe Person: Panthers will let Cade Mays test the free agent market

      By Leeroy Jenkins Ph.D. · Posted

      The Panthers are going to have a lot more flexibility in free agency than it looks like at first glance. On paper, the cap space might seem tight, but there are several obvious restructure candidates that could easily free up significant room. Between converting base salaries into signing bonuses and spreading cap hits out over future years, Carolina could realistically clear $60–80 million in additional space if they wanted to be aggressive. That kind of flexibility means they’re not stuck. They can extend key young pieces, add help along the offensive line, upgrade the defense, and still be strategic about value signings. Letting Cade Mays test the market makes sense from a leverage standpoint. If he’s willing to come back on a team-friendly deal, great, continuity on the line matters. But if his market price climbs, the Panthers should absolutely explore upgrades. The point is, this front office isn’t boxed in. With cap maneuvering and smart structuring, they have the ability to be active players in free agency rather than sitting on the sidelines like we are used too.
