5 Years of Saltiness (A Cam Newton Hater's Timeline)


Recommended Posts

I kind of brought it on myself as I visited the comments section of an NFL.com article but it really got to me as there are people still worried about his "attitude" from 4 months ago. Needless to say I felt compelled to post this timeline dubbed the "5 Years of Saltiness":

 

2011: Cam won't make it in the NFL (sets NFL rookie records, wins ROY)
2012: He will never be anything more than an average QB (makes Pro Bowl)
2013: He can't lead his team to the playoffs (12-4 regular season, playoff birth)
2014: He has no heart and he can't win a playoff game (wins a playoff game with a busted ankle and ribs, weeks after a car crash)
2015: He will never take his team past the first round (NFC Championship, SB appearance, and NFL MVP)
2016: He can't win the big one

 

Not sure the doubters will realize the trend here but damn does this make me feel good. It isn't going to be easy but there is little doubt in my mind (aside from an injury) that Cam is bringing home SB51 for SM51.

look at how peyton manning was perceived now vs. before he won his rings, the first of which actually came somewhat later (his eighth or ninth year i think) in his career. 

he was a huge, immensely marketable star and already a legend in indianapolis, of course.  but i clearly remember there being a loud faction who branded him a bad teammate (this reached a fever pitch after the "protection problems" presser), a choker, and a stat padder who beat up on a lousy division.  allegedly he would always fold under pressure and would never win anything that mattered, only individual and regular season accolades.

of course now he's the second best quarterback of his generation behind brady with two rings of his own.

"They" will never love our guy like we love our guy.  Stop waiting on that to happen.

I thought we were ready to embrace the hate?  Be the heels?  I'm ready.

Fug the NFL, fug the media, fug the fans.  "They" bout to gag on this C1N dick.

This is where I would add the gif of Cam throwing ones from the club ... Couldn't have said it any better.

I don't really care anymore. He's proven himself via his play on the field. I'm sure even Peyton Manning and Joe Montana had haters.

Brady gets a lot of hate too lol most Qbs face adversity either through media or other fans. There are a few NFL golden boys who are well liked by everyone Russell Wilson and A Rod come to mind

Pie to the thread starter. Seeing that trend made me smile.

As for the hate he receives....embrace it. Embrace it because he will always have those who will dislike him or find something wrong with anything he does. Mafugas never loved us! 

Whenever I go out to watch a panther game at a bar, there's always a group that will let it be known they don't like Cam. I like to sit near that group. I sit near them, and whenever cam makes a great play I'll do Cam's first down point. They can't stand that ish.

    • To kick this up, The Athletic has a really comprehensive piece out where pretty much all QB questions are addressed. It is worth seeing.  https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7083539/2026/03/04/starting-quarterback-projections-free-agency-draft/?source=user_shared_article I’m putting something specific here but it should have a thread or something. It is an extensive exercise.  This is a dense write up with a lot of column inches used, about the Jets and Murray and Reich, all this stuff.. then it goes to backup QB and there is Dalton.  I am pasting that part: As for Dalton, Reich is installing the offense he was trying to run in Carolina in 2023 before he got fired, and Dalton was with the Panthers then; he’s an ideal option as a veteran backup to replace Taylor. Reich said this about Dalton in 2023: “The way he's throwing the football, the way he works through progressions, the way he handles the operation. … Since day one (when) he walked in the door, I'm like, 'This guy is starter-worthy.' You guys know I've said that all along. He's, in my opinion, one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the world.” ——— That’s true love lol. I never heard any of this. Pretty crazy I think, considering how the year went.   Anyway the dream is not dead. . 
    • The Seahawks traded for wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline. He proved to be a key acquisition. Shaheed returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the regular season and had a 95-yard kickoff return in the postseason. Shaheed, though, is scheduled for free agency. So, the 12 games he played, including the postseason, might be the extent of his time in Seattle. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Shaheed and the Seahawks are not close to an extension, and the expectation is that the two-time Pro Bowler will hit free agency. Shaheed has 153 receptions for 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns in his four-year career to go along with three punt return touchdowns and a kickoff return touchdown. He ranks 13th on PFT’s top-100 free agents. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-rashid-shaheed-appears-headed-to-free-agency
